How much does TV aerial repair cost in Edinburgh?

Usually £80 to £150 in Edinburgh, from published UK cost guides. A fitter quotes before doing any work.

What's the nearest TV transmitter to Edinburgh?

The nearest main transmitter to Edinburgh is Craigkelly, about 13km to the north, carrying STV and BBC Scotland. 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.
