Frequently Asked Questions

TV signal loss can result from several factors including damaged aerials, loose or faulty cables, interference from nearby electronics, or adverse weather conditions. Environmental changes such as new buildings or trees can also block or reflect signals, degrading reception quality over time.

Most modern TVs have a built-in signal strength meter. You can access it through the TV's settings or tuning menu. Look for terms like 'Signal Strength' or 'Signal Quality.' These readings can help determine if the aerial is delivering adequate reception or if there's a potential fault in the system.

Pixelation or freezing on digital TV is usually caused by a weak or unstable signal. This can occur due to misaligned aerials, damaged cables, or interference from electrical devices. Weather conditions and low-quality splitters can also introduce problems that affect signal consistency.

Signal strength can often be improved by installing an aerial in a higher position, using a signal amplifier, or replacing old or damaged cables. A professional installer can test your reception and recommend tailored solutions such as distribution amplifiers or repositioning the aerial for optimal performance.

Losing Freeview channels is often linked to poor or unstable signals, outdated TV firmware, or interference. Retuning your TV might help, but if channels regularly disappear, it's likely a sign of a reception issue that may require aerial adjustment, cable checks, or signal amplification.

Local Expertise

Serving homes and businesses across Wigan, Standish, Pemberton, Orrell, Hindley and Ashton‑in‑Makerfield, we deliver reliable TV reception tuned to local conditions. The main signal here comes from the Winter Hill transmitter on Rivington Moor; in some spots you may also see overspill from Storeton or Moel‑y‑Parc, which can cause channel duplication or interference without the right setup. Hilly streets, tall trees around Haigh Woodland Park, and dense terraces near Wigan Pier and Robin Park can all affect signal strength, so correct aerial positioning, mast height and quality cabling really matter.

Our qualified engineers handle aerial installation, repairs, upgrades, Freeview retuning, satellite dish installation, TV wall mounting and multi‑room setups. We use the right aerial type and polarization for Winter Hill, fit LTE/5G filters where needed, and neatly route cables to protect signal quality throughout your home.

We provide daily coverage in and around Wigan and nearby areas such as Shevington, Golborne and Skelmersdale, arriving with the test gear to diagnose and fix reception issues fast. If your picture breaks up in bad weather or you’ve moved house and lost channels, we’ll get you back to a rock‑solid signal with friendly, professional service.
