TV aerial reception

Does anyone know of a decent engineer who is not a rip-off?

There has been continental interference to Crystal Palace transmissions during the good weather, you may find this has gone now. It can cause pixelation or loss of picture.I transferred to an indoor antenna to cure the problem, but I have good line of sight to the transmitter, you may find inserting an inline 3dB attenuator may fix the issue. This is easy to fit yourself, you just plug it in the TV and plug the existing aerial plug into it.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Labgear-UHF-Line-Signal-Attenuator/dp/B07G5GM8HB/

When I had aerial trouble someone told me I needed a huge pole mounted aerial and suggested I phone sky for their free TV service. I phoned and they fitted a dish lead and box. I dont get all the channels about 400 only also about 30 radio stations and dont pay anything in rental.

It’s not in Acton but the last time I needed an aerial I got referred to someone good by the Chiswick Lighting Company, Devonshire Road, W4, 0208 994 0543.  A very dependable independent shop.
