New Aerial Required

Options
Anyone know who I should go to for a new TV aerial, Northampton area.

We've got a new TV, but the Freeview channels - well, most of them - are continually breaking up and are unwatchable. I assume a new aerial is required. How much should I expect to pay for it, fitted of course !

  • I'm in Northampton (Kingsthorpe) and also after a new aerial that will get Freeview.

    I'm sorry I have no advice, but will be interested to hear who you choose and how you get on. If I go first, I'll let you know likewise.

  • It may be the co-axial cables that want upgrading rather than the aerial. Leads from set to aerial socket and/or other devices most critical.

    Dont know what they would charge you but P & B Chandler Aerials fitted mine, they are based in the Harlestone road, Duston 01604 754425 admittedly mine was cheap cos the guvnor is a close friend of my mother in law but I would recommend them to anyone.
    Mine needed a new fan so that must be whats wrong with yours:D
