Strong signal in Forest Hill
Freeview here comes from the Crystal Palace transmitter, about a mile to the south-west.
The Horniman Museum’s clock tower can be seen from the hills here, and so can the Crystal Palace mast. The signal is strong, so an old amplifier can do more harm than good. We test and often remove it.
Picture breaking up? Call020 8226 4596Forest Hill TV fault finder
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.

Forest Hill questions
If yours isn't here, call or WhatsApp us. We're happy to give advice for free.
Will a loft aerial work in Forest Hill?
In most homes, yes. We test the signal in the loft first and only go on the roof if we need to.
Why does my picture freeze if the signal is strong?
Too much signal can overload a TV, especially with an amplifier. We measure it and fit an attenuator or remove the amplifier.
Do you cover Honor Oak?
Yes. We cover all of SE23, including Honor Oak and Perry Vale, where the hills mean aerials need careful aiming to get a clean signal.
Can you reach a tall gable aerial on a Forest Hill hillside street?
Yes. We use roof ladders and safety lines, so most aerials on Forest Hill’s tall gables are reached without scaffolding.
Could a phone mast be spoiling my Forest Hill picture?
It can. 4G and 5G masts near the station can swamp a TV amplifier. A small filter on the aerial lead often clears it, and we can fit one on the day.
Can you wire a TV in my Dartmouth Road flat above a shop?
Yes. We check whether the flat has its own aerial or shares one with the shop, then fit or repair what is needed and run a cable to your room.
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.
