Local reception knowledge
Crowthorne: a village in the pines
Crowthorne’s aerials point south-west to Hannington in north Hampshire, and the signal reaching the village is generally reasonable.
The problem is the forest. Crowthorne is surrounded by pine woods, from Crowthorne Woods to the grounds of Wellington College, and tall evergreens around a house can block the signal all year round. Unlike deciduous trees, pines don’t give you a break in winter, so the aerial needs to be clear of them.
Many Crowthorne homes sit on generous wooded plots, which means long cable runs from the aerial to the TVs. Old or low-quality cable over that distance loses a lot of signal, and replacing it with modern, double-screened cable is often part of the fix.

Wi-Fi & networkingRepair first
We find the fault before we quote
A new aerial isn’t always the answer. We measure the signal first and fix what’s actually wrong.
02
No signal on the TV
The TV input, a loose lead, an amplifier or the aerial.
We trace where the fault starts: the TV, the socket or the roof.
03
Channels missing after a retune
Often the wrong transmitter, or a relay that doesn’t carry every channel.
We check which transmitter suits your address, then retune.
04
Worse in wind and rain
Loose fixings and water in the connectors.
We secure the aerial and replace damaged cable so it holds up.

The trees around our house block the signal. What can we do?
Getting the aerial above the canopy is usually the answer, whether on a longer mast or a higher point of the roof. Because pines block the signal all year, it’s worth getting the position right first time.
Which transmitter serves Crowthorne?
Hannington, in north Hampshire, which is why local news here comes from Southampton rather than London.
Do you cover Finchampstead and Nine Mile Ride?
Yes, along with Ravenswood, Pinewood and the area around Wellington College.
How much will it cost?
We’ll give you a price on the phone for most jobs and confirm it before we start. No surprises on the day.
Do I still need an aerial if I switch to Freely?
Freely streams live TV over broadband, so it can work without one. Most people keep their aerial as a backup for when the internet drops. We’ll tell you honestly whether yours is worth keeping.
