TV aerial installation

Wossi · 13-04-2010, 08:50

Finally decided this morning that we get a tv aerial installed ~8 months after moving in. It would be handy to just flick the tv on and channel hop, the only question is, any ideas how much it costs to get one installed and are there different types aerial's?

it does vary as there are many diff types and diff installations needed

generally though about £150 should cover it

Hopefully it shouldn't be too hard for the install as I'm reasonably sure that the cable is already in place, all that's needed is the actual aerial and the installation of it. Oh and possibly a splitter.

Price does vary and so do types. Which type you need depends on where the nearest transmitter is, the type of property you're in and local planning regs. Best plan is to find a decent local aerial installer who should know all of the above and can recommend what you need. £150 doesn't seem far off.

You can do it yourself for the price of a decent aerial

It's not *that* difficult if you can get on the roof with some kit easily enough
