Why pick Picture Perfect Aerials?

With so much choice from so many aerial and satellite companies it can be hard to decide who to pick?, who’s good?. who’s not?, who’s been around for a bit> and who’ll be around in the future should a problem occur?.

We believe Picture Perfect Aerials are the best aerial and satellite installers in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire and Humberside and many of both our previous and present customers will tell you the same.

Why do we believe we are the best?

Qualified

Qualifications are very important in every Industry, they show competence and are the proof that you have the right skills for the job.

Would you let an unqualified plumber or electrician work on your property ?

So why use an aerial or satellite installer with no qualifications?

We have been trained by both Sky and the CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries) and have accreditation’s from not only them but also a Safe Working at Heights Certificate, City and Guilds Certificates in Electronic and Electrical Servicing (Signal Reception) and have attended seminars from Promax Electronics and gained certification in ‘Understanding Digital Television Transmissions’, we also have gained System Q CCTV certification as well as all our staff being Digital UK Approved adviser’s.

 

Experience…

We have been installing aerials and satellite systems since the advent of Digital TV when most houses only had 1 main TV and the others were run off an indoor aerial.

Picture Perfect Aerials was established in 2003 but prior to that the business owner Kelvin Massey was aerial rigging whilst also being hired working as part of a ‘Special Heights Team’ for SKY, this involved surveying and carrying out satellite installations where others have said it was not possible.

As times have changed our experience has grown, from installing aerials to get the five analogue stations to working with the initial low powered Digital TV signals and now we see the opposite where TV transmitter signals are extremely powerful and rather than amplifying its time to attenuate to reduce the off air signals and filter out the unwanted signals to help prevent transmitter overlap.

Now we see High Definition and 3D TV via satellite and several of these HD channels are available through a roof top aerial – TV over the Internet is becoming more and more popular as Internet speeds increase so we move forward -now as people’s systems and expectations grow we are having to advance and use different methods to satisfy thier needs.  Setting up peoples TV distribution systems with cat5e and cat6 Ethernet cables and HDMI leads to allow HD and 3D distribution and control via matrix’s and switches is becoming more and more popular.  Fibre optic cabled satellite systems are readily available which allow signals to pass for kilometers with next to no signal loss, so satellite dishes can be positioned discreetly and the distance doesn’t play such a factor.

As always you can trust we will progress with technology to ensure YOU are up-to date and so is our experience and skill set.

Test Equipment….

Using the correct testing equipment is an obvious advantage and whilst there are many different brands and manufacturers out there all providing different performance Promax TV explorers are some of the best out there and no professional installer should be without a decent spectrum analyser – some may get by with just a cheap bleeper and tester, after all its how we all started out – BUT once you hit a problem with reception unless you are using a professional piece of kit that can read all signals and analyse them in detail then its just a guessing game.

Promax Explorers are equipped with a spectrum analyser and TV screen as well as being able to do the following

  • Video decoding: MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 H.264
  • Audio decoding: Dolby Digital Plus, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and AAC
  • Video formats: SD (standard definition) and HD (high definition)
  • Video resolutions: 1080i, 720p and 576i
  • Screen formats: 16:9 and 4:3
  • HDMI interface
  • DVB-T2, DVB-T/H, DVB-C and DVB-S/S2
  • CAM module (Conditional Access) for encrypted channels
  • TS-ASI input and output

Local Family Run Business…..
Picture Perfect Aerials ARE a locally based family run company in Scunthorpe – we are not a national outfit or franchise.

Being local we have extensive knowledge of the area and surrounding villages and know what works where and what doesn’t.

We treat all our customers with respect (how we would like to be treated) and offer a service that’s second to none.  Our Aim is to be the best Aerial and Satellite Installation company in Scunthorpe Lincolnshire and Humberside.

Smart Staff….

All our staff are dressed in a smart uniform and in a professional looking sign written van and carry identification, you have no worries of us turning up with ladders strapped to the roof rack of a car and us dressed in jeans and a t shirt.  We respect your property and take our shoes off upon entering so not to paddle dirt everywhere.

 

Quality Products and Competetive Pricing…

If you’ve heard about us from recommendation or read some of our testimonials from previous customers then it goes without saying you that the quality of products we use are simply the best on the market – its something we have never took a short cut with and never will, for this reason alone we can never offer the ‘cheapest price’ because there is always someone else thats willing to cut corners and use inferior parts and win jobs – by undercutting and quoting the lowest they can, its usually new start ups and people that are desperate for work that follow this route or the nationals the employ switch selling, the moment they have the foot in the door the price will soon change……..

However what we can offer is very competetive pricing for the best quality products, service and installation practices available – even if you find a like for like quotation or estimate – can they match our qualifications? our experience? our test equipment? our reputation? its highly unlikely that they can!!! – or that their pricing WILL be as competetive as ours.

So if you want a high quality installation AT the right price……then look no further.

Cowboy aerial installers and DIY bodge jobs!


Cowboy aerial installers and DIY bodge jobs

Every day we see some of the biggest bodge jobs imaginable from people claiming to be aerial installers or trying a bit of DIY.  Below are a few examples of some of the shoddy work we have had to clean up fix and rectify.  I will try to update this post regularly with new pictures for your amusement.

 Cowboy Aerial Installers and DIY bodge jobs

Why on earth someone had mounted this 100cm dish on the chimney no one knows – it has a clear line of sight from the front of the building!.  Not only does it break planning regs but its also down right dangerous.  This picture was taken by one of our engineers whilst travelling to a job.

This is an remotely powered internal amplifier mounted externally what ever next !!!

What not another internal splitter mounted externally, this one with a poor attempt to protect from the elements by electricians tape – God forbid spending £5-10 on a proper external fully weatherproof unit.  The shortcuts some riggers take to make a few extra quid is unreal.

 

 

 

Cowboy Aerial Installers !!!

 

Is that a broom handle?

Is that a broom handle?

We saw this whilst working on another property and it made us chuckle, presumably a DIY job!

 

Not sure what this loon is doing or whether he is even an aerial installer – but more concerning is where are his ladders?!?

 

This dish has been drilled to a chimney and a small one at that – this isn’t the correct way to mount either a dish or an aerial they should be fastened with a chimney lashing kit.

Yet another internal splitter mounted externally – although slightly shielded from the elements by mounting under the gutter it is still susceptible to water ingress, for under a fiver a weather proof enclosed splitter could have been fitted.

 

This is not a lashing wire, I’m not sure what it is exactly maybe fence wire but whatever its dodgy………..

 

Yet another indoor splitter left outside, i couldn’t work out if the tape on the F connectors was a lame attempt at waterproofing or it was just to hold the connections on the cheap and nasty cable.  Not very professional at all.

This amplifier is called a “Masthead” amplifier there is a clue in the name that this should be ideally fitted on the errrrr “Mast” NOT behind the TV – where it will be prone to all kinds of interference especially with poor cable connections like these, they are disgusting and amateurish….. This amplifier should amplify the signal where its at its strongest and will help overcome cable loss.

 

I am told this Sky dish was fitted by an electrician – dishes and aerials shouldn’t be drilled to chimneys they should be lashed properly – what makes this one even worse was that it was very high on a 3 story building open to high winds and above a public walkway and the fixings used were nowhere near suitable and adequate to safely secure and mount it
