Questions

How much does TV aerial repair cost in Chester?
Usually £80 to £150 in Chester, from published UK cost guides. A fitter quotes before doing any work.
What's the nearest TV transmitter to Chester?
The nearest main transmitter to Chester is Winter Hill, about 54km to the north-east, carrying ITV Granada and BBC North West. It isn't always the one your aerial should face: hills, buildings and local relay transmitters mean some homes get a better signal from another. Freeview's online checker gives the right one for your postcode.
Why have I lost some channels but not others?
Freeview channels come from several frequencies. A weak or misaligned aerial can lose some and keep others. Try a retune first; if that doesn't fix it, it's likely the aerial or cable.
Can weather affect my TV signal?
Yes. High pressure can bring interference from distant transmitters, and wind can move a loose aerial. If it comes and goes with the weather, a fitter can usually fix it with a better fixing or realignment.
