The Australian landscape is extremely varied. You can find cities along the coast lines, as well as in isolated outback areas. What channels you can access and the strength of the signal depends on where you live. If you live along the edge of a coverage area, you will need a fully optimised antenna system.
Having a digital TV antenna installed will help you gain access to a host of digital channels via satellite. This type of antenna is also useful if your home is located outside the coverage of terrestrial television frequencies. Frequencies are location-dependant, meaning where you live will affect the channels you can receive.
An outdoor antenna, a fly-lead and a coaxial cable are all included in a conventional antenna system. But, installing an antenna as a novice can get technical and dangerous. Contact your Jim’s Antennas for a more convenient way of having your antenna installed. Your local technician will give you advice on the most appropriate antenna to use in your area and will assess signal strength and line of sight to determine which tower is the best to receive this signal from. Depending on the results of this assessment, you will require either a UHF, VHF or combined antenna. A professional antenna installer will also be able to assess whether additional equipment such as an attenuator or mast is required. Jim’s Antennas technicians can also help with wall mounting your new TV and connecting it to your antenna – so you can start watching your favourite shows right away!
