TV antenna repair

Hi q-hole,

We recently moved into our new house in Bonner and had got the 50 inch wall mounted.

The Signals where weak and we got the mob to look into the antenna as well.

All sorted and love watching the ashes series now !

http://www.canberracomms.com.au – I have got them bookmarked as well.

My 2 cents.

+3 for Kaz.

+3 Kaz, and they are in Qbyn

As someone who used to do some TV repair, one bit of advice I would offer is to get the antenna tech to measure the signal not just at the wall outlet, but also at the other end of the fly-lead where it plugs into your TV/Set-top Box/DVD recorder/whatever.

It’s very common to have a situation (especially after storms) where, if you still get bad reception, you assume that the TV tuner must be faulty (maybe a power surge?) since someone’s already tested the antenna, but it turns out to just be the short piece of cable running between the two.

The guy will probably have a good one in the back of his van for a couple of bucks which is a lot cheaper than getting a service call from a TV tech.

+2 for Kaz, friendly, reliable, i’ve dealt with them a few times over the years and it’s always been a pleasure

Thanks for the suggestions. Rabbit ears are a no go unfortunately and the house has more than one antenna outlet.

I think someone from Kaz’s is coming today, so it’s good to know in advance what the damage might be.

Love the RiotACT!

+1 for Kaz’s – they do good work.

A simple replacement shouldn’t cost more than $300 including the antennae. I’ve used Kaz’s Electronics before and found them to be reliable and competent.

Depending where you are (Not sure about Queangers)but in O’Connor I just use rabbit ears and get good signal, as long as you are line of sight to Black Mountain, not many houses in my street have aerials on the roof (Although that could be a hippy O’Connor thing) Worth considering

I just had one installed, new, for less than $300. I used ‘Jims antenna’s’. Very good work.
