Replacing Your Antenna: A Vital Upgrade for Better Reception

As technology advances, so do the tools we use to stay connected to the world, and your TV antenna is no exception. Eventually, antennas wear out, especially older analogue models, and start to affect the quality of your television reception. This was exactly the situation for a recent customer in Evanston, where Shane from Jim’s Antennas came to the rescue.

The existing analogue antenna had outlived its lifespan. The elements were broken, causing them to bang against the roof, which resulted in a poor reception with constant pixelation across all digital channels. Not only that, but the original installation had also been carried out by a well-meaning home handyperson who had positioned the antenna incorrectly, which led to further issues with signal strength and quality.


A Thorough Approach to Fixing Reception

Shane didn’t rush to replace the antenna without understanding the full situation. Using his expertise and a digital meter, he tested the signals and experimented with different positions for the antenna on the roof. The goal was simple: find a location where the antenna would catch the best possible signal, ensuring clear and uninterrupted digital channels.

After a careful assessment, Shane found the ideal spot on the roof to mount the new antenna. The new setup included a custom roof mount suitable for the existing Colourbond roof, ensuring it stayed secure and stable. In addition, Shane opted for an Australian-made digital antenna, specifically designed for the unique characteristics of Australian transmission towers.

The result? An immediate 100% improvement in reception. No more pixelation, no more signal interruptions—just crystal-clear digital TV channels.



Why You Should Upgrade Your Antenna

This experience highlights an essential fact: antennas, just like any other technology, don’t last forever. Over time, the elements can become damaged, signals can degrade, and older installations may not meet current standards for optimal reception. Whether your antenna is experiencing similar issues or you’re simply looking for better performance, upgrading to a modern digital antenna is a worthwhile investment.

A correctly installed antenna can significantly improve your TV viewing experience, eliminating frustrating pixelation and signal loss. If your current antenna is more than a few years old, it might be time to consider an upgrade.
