Having trouble choosing the right tv aerial for your area? Call us on 01202 580452 and we will be more than happy to help.

UK TV is transmitted in the UHF band between 21 and 68. TV aerials are designed to receive certain bands these are:

  • Group A - Channels 21-37

  • Group B - Channels 35-53

  • Group C/D - Channels 48-68

  • Group E - Channels 35-68

  • Group K - Channels 21-48

  • Group W - Channels 21-68

Most transmitters require your aerial to be horizontaly aligned to the transmitter but some require vertical alignment (relay transmitters). Here's the difference:

A Wideband aerial is optimised to receive TV channels anywhere in the UK TV band (works on all UK transmitters). In areas of weaker signal, a wideband aerial may not be as effective as a high-gain aerial designed for the specific transmitter that you are trying to receive.

A High gain ‘grouped’ aerial can be used to reduce certain types of problem - including weak signal, interference and ghosting. They do this by getting the most out of the signal as they are more finely tuned to receive signals from a particular transmitter.
