Coverage

[show all answers]

• Why have I had poor reception at certain times?

• Can I pick up stations from outside my local area?

• Will I need a new aerial?

• What should I do if I live in an area with marginal coverage?

  Reception in-home can be improved by installing external or loft mounted aerials. Prices for these start from approx £20, but they do need to be installed by an expert.
