Where Tottenham gets its signal

Aerials in Tottenham point south towards Crystal Palace, about 12 miles away.

Tottenham gets a good signal from Crystal Palace. Big match days do not affect your TV, but the new towers at Tottenham Hale can shadow some streets, so we always measure before choosing where an aerial goes.

Tottenham TV problems?

Pick the problem you're seeing. We'll show you what usually causes it, and where in the house the fault tends to be.

“No signal” on every channel

Usual cause
The cable has come loose or been damaged, the aerial amplifier in the loft has failed, or wind has knocked the aerial out of line.
What we do
We check the connections and amplifier, then realign or replace the aerial.

Picture breaks up or freezes, worse in wind or rain

Usual cause
Corroded connectors, water in the cable, or a loose aerial or bracket moving in the wind.
What we do
New cable and weatherproof connectors, and the aerial re-secured.

Some channels missing after a retune

Usual cause
The signal is weak on certain frequencies, often from an old aerial or one pointing at the wrong transmitter.
What we do
We measure each multiplex, then realign or fit a suitable wideband aerial.

Sky or Freesat says there's no satellite signal

Usual cause
The dish has moved in the wind, the LNB on the arm has failed, or the cable is damaged. Very heavy rain can cause it for a short time.
What we do
We realign the dish and replace the LNB or cable if needed.

Works in one room but not another

Usual cause
A faulty wall plate, a splitter in the loft, or the cable to that room.
What we do
We trace the extra point and repair or rewire it.

Questions from Tottenham

If yours isn't here, call or WhatsApp us. We're happy to give advice for free.

Can you fix the TV in a whole block?

Yes. When a whole N17 block loses TV, the fault is usually in the shared amplifier or the main cable. We work for landlords and managing agents to find it, repair it and upgrade old systems.

My picture got worse after building work nearby. Why?

New buildings can block or reflect the signal, and building work can damage cables. We find out which it is and fix it.

Can you take an old dish off my Tottenham house?

Yes. We remove dishes left by previous owners or tenants, take off the brackets and cable and make good the holes, so the front of your Tottenham house looks tidier.

Can you mount a TV in my Tottenham Hale flat?

Yes. We fix into the studs or concrete, hide the cables in the wall or neat trunking, and set up your TV so it is ready to watch when we leave.

Can I get international channels in Tottenham?

Yes. We fit dishes aimed at the right satellite for Turkish, African, Asian or European channels, and can set up a motorised dish for several satellites.

Is a loft aerial enough in Bruce Grove?

Often it is, because the signal is strong in much of N17. We test in your loft first and fit it there if the picture is reliable.

Not sure what you need?

Send us a photo of your aerial, dish or the message on your TV screen. We can often tell you what's wrong and roughly what it'll cost.
