There are many pages online (including government websites) with information on this topic regarding digital TV. The quick explanation is: Digital TV always is clear. When the antenna signal is weak (or weaker than it should be) digital tv channels will ‘pixelate’. In the old days of analogue, a weak signal would make your channels ‘snowy’.

If it is a weak signal that has been diagnosed by the technician (using a state of the art signal meter), then just like your car, if the problem doesn’t get fixed it will eventually get worse. And in time, it will pixelate more, and/or your other channels will begin to pixelate or drop out until the problem is resolved. The good news is, unlike your car, once your antenna is serviced it lasts a lot, lot longer than your car. It won’t need doing again for many, many years.

Now, just because the problem has been diagnosed as a weak signal doesn’t mean its necessarily your old antenna but it is always your antenna system. An antenna system can be made up of cable, splitters, joins, wall plates, leads, baluns, junction boxes, tuning, amplifiers, power packs, even antenna alignment and antenna positioning – a number of factors that can prove to be singularly or a combination of culprits resulting in the problem.

A lot of people say: ”It got better’ or it’s just the ‘weather’ or it’s only channel 7″. This is the same as your car: “oh it only does it up hills” or ”it only does it when it’s cold”. Meanwhile the mechanic knows your car will break down, and so, in time, it does. Tv Reception is no different. Weak signal causes channel 7 to break up but soon it will be channel 9, then channel 10 and then all of them. Weak signal causes digital tv reception to break up in bad weather, but soon it won’t be the bad ‘weather’, – it will just break-up or dropout in any weather condition, period.

We want you to have good tv reception! Like the reception we have at our own homes! You should be aware that there is no reason, for ALL your tv channels to not be working ALL of the time! It doesn’t matter what the weather is like or where you live! So if you are putting up with pixelation – the truth is – eventually it will get worse.

Absolutely! This is becoming a common issue with how fast the technology is moving. As your TV’s operating system becomes older, support may be dropped from apps like 9Now, 7Plus etc. There are many potential solutions we can help you with that could save you from needing to buy a new TV.

Sometimes there is a cheap fix, other times there is a risk of doing it cheap and it will cost more in the long run. Sometimes it has been done that badly in the first place that it’s going to cost more to rectify an old system than it’s going to just install a brand new one from scratch. Sometimes, the old gear is that old that the whole lot just needs replacing. In the end, the tv reception signals need to comply to certain requirements or it’s just not going to work. These requirements are described as per the requirements of Digital Broadcasting Australia (DBA) authorities. If these are not complied with – your tv reception will be no better off. Also, having too much signal can cause bad tv reception as well!
