TV Antenna Installation & Repairs Port Macquarie

Frequently Asked Questions

There are several types of TV antennas available, including indoor, outdoor, directional and omnidirectional antennas. Each type is designed to pick up signals from different distances and directions.

Yes, you can use a TV antenna with multiple TVs. However, you will need a splitter to split the signal from the antenna to each TV. In many cases, the more TVs you connect to the antenna, the weaker the signal will be, which can result in poorer picture quality.

Whether or not you need an amplifier for your TV antenna depends on various factors, such as the distance from the broadcast tower, the type of antenna you're using and the number of TVs connected to the antenna. An amplifier can help boost the signal and improve the picture quality, but it's not always necessary.

TV antennas can work during bad weather, but the signal may be weaker or distorted. Heavy rain, snow or high winds can interfere with the signal, and lightning can damage the antenna or the TV. If you experience poor signal quality during bad weather, you may need to adjust the antenna or wait for the weather to improve.

Yes, antennas work with digital TVs. In fact, digital TVs are designed to receive signals from antennas. You don't need a special antenna to receive digital signals, but you may need to adjust the antenna or scan for channels to ensure you're picking up all available channels.

There are several reasons why your TV may keep freezing, including poor signal quality, interference from other devices, outdated software or a malfunctioning TV or antenna. If you're experiencing freezing or other issues with your TV, try adjusting the antenna, checking for interference or updating the software/firmware. If the problem persists, you may need to contact a professional for repairs.

To point your TV antenna in the right direction, you need to know where the broadcast towers are located, which you may be able to find out through research or by contacting a professional. Once you know the direction of the towers, you can adjust your antenna to point in that direction. 

You should rescan for channels every time you move your antenna to a new location, add or remove devices from your setup or when new channels become available. It's also a good idea to rescan periodically, such as every few months, to ensure you're receiving all available channels.

If your antenna isn’t picking up any channels, check that the antenna is properly installed and connected to your TV. You can also try adjusting the antenna and rescanning for channels. If that doesn’t work, there may be an issue with the antenna or your location, and you may need to contact a professional for further assistance.
