TV aerial installation | Satellite dish installation

Professional service using specialist digital metering equipment and quality components...

I have been installing TV equipment for many years & have expert knowledge in gaining the best TV reception. From fault finding to complete new TV aerial, satellite dish or screen installation, you can rely on Dan at Multipoint Aerials to give you the best service in Barry Island. 

If you have TV signal reception problems, with the latest TV metering equipment I can very quickly establish faults & repair your TV system.

You may wish to upgrade your existing TV system if you're not receiving the full Freeview channel lineup. There are various options from Freeview lite from local repeater television transmitters to full Freeview channel coverage from main television transmitters such as Wenvoe and Carmel. You may need to amplify your signal to receive interference free viewing, for this there are a few options but by far the best would be a high gain aerial & masthead amplifier or booster. I also supply & install aerials for DAB, FM radio or any other required frequency range.

​

I supply and install TV, radio & home entertainment equipment whatever your choice, & have a proven history of professional service in Barry... Call your local TV installation engineer today!

TV Wall Mounting

​​Ready to bring the cinema experience into your living room? For TV wall mounting in Barry... Look no further!

 

Take a look at TV wall brackets to mount your telly in a prime spot. Many brackets are adjustable, so you can set just the right height and angle for perfect viewing from your sofa.

They're a fantastic solution if you don't want to take up floor space with a TV stand. With all the extra room, you can go bigger! Get it done professionally!

​

Full motion swivel TV brackets are great if you'd like full flexibility to adjust your television to multiple angles, enabling the mounting of screens in most situations.  They're most suitable for mounting in corner locations.

 

Flat / tilt mount brackets are most suited for installing above fireplaces and rooms where there're large wall spaces to accommodate big screen TV's or where movement of the screen is not required.

​

Glass TV shelving is recommended for maximizing space in any room. They add a sleek modern look to any TV wall mounting and come with 1,2 or 3 shelves, great for displaying Sky, freesat, games consoles, blue ray dvd  players & freeview boxes.

​

With all the choices available it's always best to book in for a free quotation, I offer a friendly service in Barry Island. We can discuss all the different options available for your situation including; hidden cables, cable extensions, long Hdmi cables etc. There's no obligation & I offer solutions for any budget.

With Freeview, you can watch over 60 digital TV channels and up to 15 HD channels through your TV aerial.

No monthly cost, no contracts, no fuss. With new Freeview Play, you can see 95% of the nation’s favourite TV, live & on demand, all without a subscription, straight from your TV Guide. You may need to upgrade your TV aerial with a new aerial installation to receive full coverage.

​

Switching to Freeview in Barry is easy. All TVs since 2010 have Freeview built in, so only require a working aerial to be plugged into the back. If your TV is older than this you may need a Freeview box, or you have an HD ready TV, buy a Freeview HD Recorder  to watch in high definition.

If you’re in the market for a new TV, grab one with built-in Freeview Play & Youview. These are pretty much future-proof, offering catch up alongside live TV through the TV guide. Some of the latest models have services such as, Amazon, Netflix, Youtube built in & can be updated with the latest apps.  

Alternatively, if you want to record live programmes and access on demand services through your TV, Freeview HD Recorders offer a simple solution and can easily be connected to any HD Ready TV. There are also the online benefits of Youview catch up services offered by BT Vision - TalkTalk & Plusnet.

Freesat installation

Freesat is a digital satellite TV service from the BBC and ITV, offering even more free channels than are available on Freeview. There are no ongoing fees, but you'll need a dish fitted to your home to receive it. You'll also need a Freesat compatible television, set-top box or PVR, some of which allow you to pause and rewind live TV.  

What else does Freesat offer?

What channels are available on Freesat?

Whereas Freeview offers 70 TV channels, 15 HD channels, & more than 30 radio stations, Freesat tops that by giving access to more than 200 Channels, with over 20 HD Channels. Alongside the five main TV channels – BBC One, BBC Two, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 – Freesat customers in Bridgend can access channels such as: Entertainment: BBC Four, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, E4, More4, 5 USA, 5 +1 News:BBC News, BBC Parliament, Sky News, Russia Today, Al Jazeera Films: Film4, True Movies Lifestyle: Food Network UK, Showcase TV,FilmOn.TV, CBBC, CBeebies, CITV Music: Vintage TV, The Vault,  Magic Freesat HD has over 20 HD channels in total including BBC One HDITV HD.

How do I get Freesat in Barry?

To receive Freesat in Barry you'll need an existing satellite dish on your house, or have one installed. Give me a call to book an installation. 

To receive satellite channels in other rooms in your house you may need to upgrade your LNB to a quad or octo, allowing upto 8 satellite TV reception points. Or if more rooms are needed then the possibilities are endless with multiswitch installation.

If your satellite dish isn't correctly aligned or not pointing toward the right satellite (for Freesat this is Astra 2) then you may need to get your dish re-aligned.

Some TVs have built-in satellite tuners meaning they can receive either Freesat or even Freesat HD channels without needing a separate set-top box.  You can buy a Freesat set-top box from about £80, although Freesat HD ones cost a bit more. Modern Freesat boxes have much more functionality with internet services & Freetime program guides for catchup etc. 

I offer a complete service & can supply Freesat boxes with your satellite dish installation or install your own equipment.
