What’s wrong with my TV picture?
Choose what your screen is doing. The panel shows the usual culprit and lights up the part of the house where it normally is.
Every channel says “No signal”
- Usual cause
- Usually a connector that has worked loose behind the TV or at the aerial, a loft amplifier that has died, or an aerial knocked off its bearing by the wind.
- What we do
- We check the signal at three points, the TV socket, the loft and the mast, so we replace only the part that has gone.
Pixelating or freezing when it’s wet or windy
- Usual cause
- Rainwater getting into tired coax, connectors eaten by salt air on the coast, or a mast clamp that has slipped so the aerial rocks.
- What we do
- New double-screened cable, sealed compression fittings and the clamps done up properly.
A handful of channels have vanished
- Usual cause
- An aerial made before the frequency changes, one pointing at the wrong mast for your street, or 4G and 5G from a nearby phone mast swamping the amplifier.
- What we do
- A meter reading on each multiplex tells us which. Then it is a realign, a filter or a modern wideband aerial.
Freesat or Sky can’t find the satellite
- Usual cause
- A dish nudged off target by a gale or a ladder, a failed LNB (the part on the arm), or a waterlogged cable.
- What we do
- We peak the dish on a meter, then swap the LNB or the cable if they have failed.
One room has a picture, another doesn’t
- Usual cause
- A loose wall plate, a dead output on the splitter or amplifier, or damage somewhere along that room’s cable.
- What we do
- We follow that cable from the room back to the loft and repair the fault we find.

Tall chimneys and windy clifftops
Four-storey Regency terraces in Ramsgate, seafront chimneys in Herne Bay, oast house roundels in the Weald. We have the ladders, roof kit and insurance for the awkward ones.
Independent specialists, based in Canterbury
We have been fitting and repairing aerials and dishes from our base in Canterbury since 2000. Our engineers work every day from Thanet and the coast to Medway, Maidstone and the Weald.
Kent is not one TV area. The east of the county looks to Dover, Medway and Maidstone to Bluebell Hill, the Weald to Heathfield and the north-west to Crystal Palace. Knowing which one your street can see, and which aerial it needs, is what we do.
We don’t work for Sky, Virgin or anyone else, so whether you’re weighing up Freeview against Freesat, keeping an old Sky Q dish going or thinking of ditching the aerial, you get our real opinion.
Aerial, dish or streaming?
Plenty of viewing has moved online, yet for most Kent households a roof aerial or dish is still the steadiest picture.
Will Freeview be around for much longer?
Yes. The government has committed to broadcasting Freeview until at least 2034 and no end date has been announced, so an aerial fitted now has years of use ahead of it.
Is a satellite dish still any use now Sky sells TV over broadband?
Very much so. Sky Q boxes across Kent still run off a dish, Freesat needs one, and so does TV from abroad. We still put up, repair and move dishes every week, whichever service they feed.
Can I get rid of the aerial and just stream?
You can if your broadband is quick and dependable; apps such as Freely carry the live channels. Most of our customers keep the aerial as well, because it still works when the router doesn’t. Ask us and we’ll tell you straight which makes sense for your house.
Quicker with a picture
Snap the aerial or dish from the garden, or the error on the TV, and WhatsApp it to us with your postcode. An engineer looks at it and replies with the likely fix and a price.

Our vans cover the county every week, from Margate to Edenbridge, which keeps call-out times short wherever you live.
Canterbury, Thanet and the coast
Our home patch. From medieval Canterbury and the fishermen’s cottages of Whitstable to the Regency terraces of Ramsgate and the clifftops of Deal and Dover. Sea air and gales keep us busy here all year.
Busy areas: Canterbury, Whitstable, Margate, Ramsgate, Deal
Medway, Maidstone and Swale
Rochester, Chatham and Gillingham, out to Sittingbourne and Sheppey, and down to Maidstone and the Malling villages. Close to Bluebell Hill, signals are strong, but the hills and phone masts cause problems of their own.
Busy areas: Maidstone, Chatham, Gillingham, Sittingbourne, Rochester
West Kent and the Weald
Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks, the Weald villages and up to Dartford and Gravesend. Hills, woods and distance make this the trickiest part of Kent for TV, and where we fit the most Starlink.
Busy areas: Royal Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Dartford, Cranbrook
