About

K-Sat Aerial and Satellite.

K-Sat can provide all types of TV aerials, standard, medium gain, high gain and extra high gain. Also special low noise amplification can if needed be added. FREEVIEW Aerials ~ Aerial up-grades
We can provide 1 aerial to run 1, 2, 3, 4 or any number of rooms, giving equally good results in each room.


Aerials are manufactured to differing standards this shows up in the price, the mechanical construction and it's electromagnetic performance.
The aerial has to receive a number of different signals from the required transmitter in an even manner, it has to reject unwanted signals from the side and back as they would cause interference and could swamp the wanted signals.
All of this becomes even more important when you want digital reception. A digital aerial is manufactured slightly differently and makes use of a balun.
In all cases good quality aerials and cable are the best bet!

Will an analogue aerial work a digital set top box (Freeview)? Yes and No - It will if the received signals are clean and above a certain threshold and the analogue signal and digital signals are balanced.
In practice this means if you normally have trouble free reception (a good channel 5 is an excellent indicator) you can just plug in and view. In a lot of cases this is what happens. When using digital if freezing and blocking or sound problems occur, then you would benefit from a professionally installed digital aerial.

Freesat

Digital Television is already here
Anyone who subscribes to Sky is using digital
People with Freeview set top boxes have gone digital.
Cable subscribers more and more are receiving digital only services.

Most of these viewers still receive analogue (normal TV) along with the digital services.
This is where problems may arise at switchover because this analogue reception is used by most current video recorders, being able to watch one channel while recording another for example.

At switchover the analogue will disappear and digital only will become normal TV.

Currently you can buy digital set top boxes to connect to your existing TV
Televisions with digital built in - dual standard analogue and digital combined
Personal Video Recorders (PVRs) which record to a hard disk
Freeview set top box with twin tuner and built in PVR (Freeview +) which works in the same way as a Sky + box - they both will record one channel while you watch another and let you pause live TV and even back track live TV if you missed something

The future is bright because all kinds of useful features can be built in to equipment with digital.

Now Freesat, Freesat + and Freesat HD is available - like Sky but no subscription prvides all the UK terrestrial channels plus lots of free satellite channels
