Why does an antenna decide to stop working during the crucial ending of your favourite TV show, or during an exciting game? Call it ”Murphys Law” if you will; but one thing we do know is that it is so frustrating, but thankfully it can be fixed.

In some cases, it could be a simple error that you can fix. Before you call the experts we recommend you elevate the following:

Ensure your TV and power cables are connected to the wall sockets as well as the TV
Try and perform an auto or manual scan for TV Channels (refer back to your TV’s owner manual)
If you do have an amplifier in your system ensure the power supply is plugged in and turned on

But, if you are still having trouble, it could be a case of needing to have a new antenna installed. There could be many reasons as to why your antenna has stopped working. Like most products, antennas also have an expiry date or your existing may be an analogue TV antenna. Some antennas can be damaged during storms or chewed and destroyed by birds.

This was in fact the case for Brett from Jim’s Antennas & Security Mickleham customer. The antenna on top of their 30ft mast was not working due to birds having chewed through the cable.

Brett, also noticed that his customer’s house was the only one that had a 30ft mast in the neighbourhood. All of the other houses had standard size masts. Brett installed a new 6ft mast, antenna & amplifier to point at the local tower. His customer can now watch TV with no issues.
