Channels disappeared
Usually after a retune, when the TV picks a weaker or Freeview Light transmitter. We retune to the right one.

01483 789110How it works
From call to every room tuned
Step 1
Tell us what you need
Missing channels, a new room or a whole-house set-up. Most jobs get a price on the phone.
Step 2
Measure the signal
At the aerial and every existing point, so we know what the system can support.
Step 3
Fit and wire
New sockets, amplifier and cabling, routed neatly and hidden where possible.
Step 4
Tune every TV
Each TV tuned and tested, with Freeview Play or Freely connected.
Freeview, done right
Every channel, in every room
Freeview is built into almost every TV sold in the UK and needs no subscription, just a good aerial signal. When channels go missing or the picture breaks up, the cause is usually the aerial, the cable or the way the signal is shared between rooms, not the TV.
Adding TV points is where many systems go wrong. Each time a signal is split, it gets weaker, so a cheap splitter in the loft can leave every TV with a marginal picture. We measure first, then fit the right distribution amplifier and cabling so every room gets a strong, clean signal.
We also set up Freeview Play and Freely, the newer service that combines live TV and catch-up on compatible TVs, and help you decide whether to keep your aerial if you’re moving towards streaming.
What we can set up
- Freeview and Freeview Play on any TV
- Freely on compatible new TVs
- Extra TV points in bedrooms, kitchens and garden rooms
- Distribution amplifiers for multi-room homes
- Retuning and channel set-up on every TV
Freeview services
Freeview installation, repairs and extra points
Extra TV points
New sockets in any room, with cables hidden or neatly clipped and the signal split properly from the aerial.
Multi-room distribution
Distribution amplifiers sized for the number of TVs, so adding rooms doesn’t weaken every picture.
Freeview fault-finding
Missing channels, pixelation and “no signal” traced through the aerial, cable, amplifier and TV.
Retuning and set-up
Every TV tuned to the right transmitter, with channels in order and Freeview Play or Freely connected.
Aerial upgrades
An aerial that can receive the full line-up from the best transmitter for your address.
TV aerialsNew TV set-up
New TVs wall mounted or set on the stand, tuned, connected to Wi-Fi and ready to watch.
Wall mountingFreeview faults
Freeview problems we fix
02
One room is fine, another isn’t
A cable, socket or splitter fault on that room’s run. We test each point separately.
03
HD channels missing
HD channels need a stronger signal and a compatible TV. We check both.
04
Picture breaks up in the evening
Interference or a marginal signal that dips at certain times. A filter or better aerial position usually fixes it.
Good to know
Freeview, Freeview Play and Freely
Freeview
Free live TV through an aerial, with dozens of standard and HD channels depending on your transmitter. It needs a TV aerial with a good signal.
Homes served by a small relay transmitter may only get the main public service channels. A different aerial pointed at a main transmitter can often add the rest, and we check what’s possible at your address.
Freeview Play
Adds catch-up and on-demand apps from the main broadcasters to the Freeview guide, using your broadband alongside the aerial.
Freely
Live and on-demand TV through broadband on compatible new TVs. It can work without an aerial, but many homes keep one as a backup for when the internet drops.
How many TV points can one aerial feed?
As many as you need, with the right distribution amplifier. We size it for the number of rooms and the length of the cable runs.
Why have I lost channels after retuning?
Your TV may have tuned to a different transmitter, sometimes a relay that doesn’t carry every channel. We’ll retune to the best one for your address.
Do I still need an aerial for Freely?
Freely streams live TV over broadband, so it can work without one. Most people keep their aerial for reliability. We’ll tell you honestly what suits you.
Can you add a TV point to a garden room?
Yes. We run an external-grade cable from the house, or from the aerial, and fit a socket in the garden room.
Do you set up new TVs?
Yes. We tune them, connect them to Wi-Fi, set up apps and connect soundbars and boxes.
Will extra TV points make my main TV worse?
Not if they’re installed properly. We measure the signal first and fit a distribution amplifier where needed, so every TV, including the main one, gets a strong, clean picture.
Prefer satellite TV?
Freesat is a subscription-free alternative where the aerial signal is weak.
