Greg was fantastic. He was responsive, professional, and provided insight. He mounted my TV and added the soundbar to it with a custom system that looks awesome. Will use him again for any other audio or visual projects in the house and highly recommend him to others.

They were very prompt, and complete. The wait time is minimal. I was in and out in twenty minutes. Oh the waiting room is nice. They got. They have TV. I can't think of anything they need to work on.

TV Antenna questions, answered by experts

Before your TV antenna stops working, there are a few ways to tell it’s starting to break. Some common signs that your antenna needs repair include:

A repetitive “no signal” issue
A redundant “searching” issue
Increased signal issues during a cloudy or rainy day
A sudden drop in signal strength, regardless of the weather

If you’re experiencing these problems, you’ll want to ensure that your cables are still in good shape and have not deteriorated. In addition, check to make sure that your cables are firmly in place at the wall outlet. Finally, check the position of your antenna to ensure there are no obstructions in its path. If you’ve checked your antenna thoroughly and are still having these problems, a repair is most likely needed by an antenna technician.

The shorter the coaxial cable, the better. The further you run the cable, the more signal loss you'll experience. At 50 feet, you'll see significant signal loss, and by 100 feet, you'll experience at least a 30% drop in signal strength.

Most repairs take 1-4 hours, but complex signal issues may require further troubleshooting.

Signal loss, loose mounts, cable damage, and weather-related wear often require repair.

Outdoor TV antennas are often worth it, as the signals broadcast in your area are always stronger outside. If you have an indoor antenna that isn’t performing well, call a TV antenna installation company to come out and use a signal checker to see if a stronger signal is available on your roof, as it often will be. Outdoor antennas require longer cables, which can decrease the quality of the picture, but a professional should be able to find a position where cable length is minimized, and the available signal is strongest for ideal performance.
