"It went very well. The work was done the next day after my call. Patrick was very friendly and informative on the phone. Ray, the installer was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He also helped me figure out how to navigate my tv's with the new antenna. "Cutting the cord" was made easy by these guys! And the price was right!"

"Ben came to our house the first time to check out our situation and let us know what he recommended. He was on time, very pleasant and very knowledgeable. We decided to proceed with his recommendations and he ordered an antenna for us. He came back to our house a couple of days before the hurricane to install our new antenna and remove the antennas installed by someone else last year that were on our roof. We were very appreciative of his willingness to come while we were trying to get out of town and he was trying to prepare for the hurricane as well. We are very pleased with the new antenna and with the customer service that we received from him. We highly recommend him."

"The work went very well. I believe the job was more difficult than the work described in the estimate. There was no additional charge. Alvin answered every question. He responded to my emails promptly. He even came back to reset the new system after my dog ate one of the remotes. Two months later my 10 year old TV quit. I had several questions about a replacement TV, which was returned based on Alvin's advice. I will make an appointment to have Alvin install the new TV."

"Neil (and his son) did a very professional job installing Ethernet/TV Cabling throughout the house. They worked with me on several proposal modification to help me understand the end objective of not just what I wanted but what I needed to make things work seamless together. Work was started and completed on time as promised, all areas of install were clean and neat. Everything worked as advertised with no issues. Even my wife was pleased and that says a lot!"

FAQs for antenna installation and replacement projects in Wilmington, NC

Mounting your TV antenna on the roof or in the attic at the highest possible point provides the best reception. Ensure a clear, unobstructed view toward the broadcast towers. The best view is free from trees, buildings, or walls that could interfere with the signal and potentially damage the antenna.

Your TV antenna should be mounted as high as possible with a clear, unobstructed view toward the broadcast signal source. Elevating the antenna improves the chance of receiving clearer and uninterrupted reception. Obstacles like trees, buildings, and hills can interfere with the signal, so avoid mounting it on the ground or below the roofline. Installing it on the roof or in the attic ensures a direct line to the transmission towers, enhancing both signal strength and picture quality.

To strengthen your antenna signal, start by ensuring your antenna is in an optimal location with a clear view toward the broadcast towers. If you're still experiencing weak signals, consider adding an amplifier for an additional $50 to $200.

Check for nearby obstructions or metallic objects that might interfere with reception, such as appliances or metal fences, and keep the antenna at least 6 feet away from them. Additionally, ensure your coaxial cable isn't excessively long, which can reduce signal strength.

Even though a few rare cases are exceptions to the rule, grounding won't improve your TV antenna reception. Like other issues, it's best to speak with a TV antenna specialist to learn which options will deliver the strongest reception. While grounding may not work, your pro will offer other ideas to improve reception.

An outdoor HDTV antenna costs $20 to over $200, with some units running upward of $500. Indoor units run as little as $20 but with poorer quality reception. Like most things, you get what you pay for. However, you may not need a top-of-the-line antenna. Discuss your needs with a local TV antenna installer.

A TV antenna won't always provide perfect reception due to factors like your distance from broadcasting towers, nearby obstructions, and weather conditions. To minimize issues, research your area's signal strength and choose the right type of antenna for your location. Tools like the DTV maps from the Federal Communications Commission can help you check local digital TV channel reception. Selecting an appropriate antenna and proper positioning and installation will improve your chances of receiving consistently clear signals.
