What they said about us.....
"The robust installations are a good advert. A no-nonsence approach."
Tim Jenks

"This is a company that has been built up on a solid reputation.
I am fortunate that I know Woking Aerials work, his reputation goes before him. Any person employing Woking Aerials is assured of a job well done.
Again being able to see work close up shows that Alan provides a service which is to be envied.
The system viewed by me was very impressive...."

"This assessment was carried out as an NVQ assessment session.
I observed Alan, visit a domestic property, qualify the customer, fault find/diagnose the reception issue, and install a complete new aerial system.
This was done to an exceedingly high standard."

Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) Freeview
With the completion on the digital switchover in Northern Ireland on the 24th October 2012 the whole of the UK now receives Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT).
DTT is the most common type of TV service across the world.
In the UK it is known as Freeview and it replaced the old analogue TV service which consisted of five channels.
With Freeview you can get over 70 free-to-air standard channels, 15 HD channels and around 30 radio services.
Depending on the properties location and the transmitter which covers the properties location, most properties around the Woking area, should receive all of the DTT channels.
In and around the Woking area we mainly rely on the Crystal Palace Transmitter located in South East London for our TV transmissions.
However, there are a few locations in and around Woking where receiving Crystal Palace is not possible, and we will then test for an alternative transmitter, like the Guildford transmitter, which is a relay transmitter of Crystal Palace sited up on the Hogs Back just outside Guildford up on the North Downs.

'Local' Multiplexes
The 'local' multiplexes on channel numbers 35 Crystal Palace, and 33 Guildford are not always obtainable even though all the others are.
This is because the 'local' multiplexes are transmitted at a reduced level of power when compared to the 'main' multiplexes.
With Crystal Palace, the main multiplexes are transmitted at 200kW, whereas the 'local' multiplex on channel 35 is only transmitted at 46kW.
Sometimes there is a noticeable difference, but very little can be done to improve the situation being as you are either on the edge of the transmitted area, or beyond it.
