Comparing Satellite vs. Aerial Installation: Which Is Right for You
When it comes to communication infrastructure, choosing between satellite and aerial installation can be a crucial decision. Each method offers distinct advantages and considerations. Let's delve into the details to help you make the right choice.
Satellite Installation
Satellite installation involves positioning a dish on roofs, walls or stands, ensuring there is a clear view of the sky to maximise reception. This option offers a vast range of channels—including international, specialty, and premium content—but can be temporarily disrupted due to extreme weather conditions. Note that this option is particularly beneficial in particular parts of Tunbridge Wells where traditional terrestrial signals may be weak or hard to access.
At a glance, a satellite installation:
- Receives television signals from satellites orbiting the Earth, picking up signals from satellites positioned in geostationary or other orbits.
- Is mounted on rooftops, walls, or stands with a clear view of the sky.
- Requires a clear line-of-sight to the satellite for uninterrupted signal reception.
- Provides access to a wider range of channels, including national and international ones.
- To access satellite TV, you'll require a satellite receiver in addition to the satellite dish. This receiver can be in the form of a set-top box, or a tuner integrated into your television.
- Signals are generally not affected by local weather conditions, but heavy storms or extreme atmospheric conditions may disrupt the signal temporarily.
- New channels update automatically.
Aerial Installation
On the other hand, an aerial installation utilises antennas which perch on a rooftop or similarly elevated location, accessing the signals that local broadcast towers send through the airwaves. While satellite installation may be preferred in remote areas, aerial installation remains a viable option for urban and suburban settings where terrestrial signals are readily available, and local stations are high on your wish list. Local weather conditions can impact your signal and once again a clean line of sight, this time between aerial and broadcast tower, is an important factor in receiving a problem-free service. The skilled technicians at Wear Communications excel in aerial installation for domestic and commercial clients in Tunbridge Wells, ensuring optimal positioning and signal reception to prevent stuttering and drop-outs at inopportune moments.
To summarise, an aerial installation:
- Receives broadcast television signals over-the-air, picking up signals from local broadcast towers.
- Typically mounted on a rooftop or an elevated position.
- Requires line-of-sight to the broadcast tower for optimal reception.
- The range of channels can vary dependent on location.
- Broadcasts local channels.
- Signals can be affected by weather conditions such as storms or heavy rainfall.
- Re-tuning required when updates occur.
Which option you choose will largely be dictated by a) what channels you’re looking to access, and b) whether or not the preferred option is feasibly possible at your current address.
