TV aerial and satellite dish installer in Seville, Spain: installation, alignment and repair

TV aerial installer in Seville, Spain for flats, villas and apartment buildings

When the TV goes black, shows a “no signal” message or the picture breaks up into squares, the problem is almost never the television itself. It is the aerial, the amplifier or a section of the cable that runs down from the roof. As TV aerial installers in Seville we do three things: find where the signal is lost, repair or replace whatever has failed and leave every socket with good reception.

In Spain, free-to-air digital television is called TDT (televisión digital terrestre), broadly the equivalent of Freeview in the UK. We work on TDT aerials and on satellite dishes, both on a single home and on the communal aerial of a block of flats.

What the service includes

• New TDT aerial installation, with mast, anchoring, amplifier and distribution to the sockets in the home.
• Alignment and tuning with a signal meter, so the aerial points where the signal is best and not where it looks right by eye.
• Satellite dish: mounting, pointing at the satellite and connecting the receiver, on your own home or as a communal dish.
• Repair of the building’s communal aerial: head-end, amplifiers, power supplies, splitters and shared cabling.
• New or relocated TV sockets when you move the TV to another room or hang it on the wall. If you want no cables on show, see hiding cables.

Typical cases in Seville

• Blocks from the 1960s and 1970s. In buildings in Nervión, La Macarena, El Cerro or Triana, the communal aerial is often decades old: corroded connectors, cable dried out by the sun on the roof and amplifiers replaced over the years with no plan. Here it pays to check the whole head-end rather than patching one socket at a time.
• Villas and townhouses in the Aljarafe. In Tomares, Mairena del Aljarafe or Bormujos the aerial is often on the roof without firm anchoring and the wind knocks it out of line. We are also often asked for a TV socket on the porch or by the pool.
• New-build homes. New buildings are handed over with their shared telecoms infrastructure; what is usually needed is extra sockets or a fix for weak reception in one room. If the fault is in the common part of the building, see building telecoms (ICT).
• After a storm. If every TV in the building loses signal at once, the fault is on the roof: an aerial that has moved or an amplifier burnt out by a lightning surge.

How we work

1. You tell us the symptom: which channels fail, on which televisions and since when. A photo of the aerial or the amplifier already helps us point you in the right direction.
2. We measure the signal at your socket, at the junction box on your floor and at the aerial, to locate the exact section where it is lost.
3. We give you a fixed price before touching anything, separating what belongs to you from what belongs to the comunidad (the owners’ association).
4. We repair or install the aerial, the amplifier or the cabling, and align it with the meter.
5. We retune the televisions and check every socket before we leave.

Guide prices

These are market references. The final price depends on the materials that need replacing and on access to the roof, and we confirm it in writing before we start. More references are on the prices page.

Regulations

Communal aerials are part of a building’s shared telecoms infrastructure, regulated in Spain by Royal Decree 346/2011 (the ICT Regulation) and Order ITC/1644/2011, which develops it. In apartment buildings, any change to the head-end respects the existing distribution so that no neighbour loses their signal.

If you manage a building, everything we do for comunidades is under homeowners’ associations, and the rest of our signal and security work is under telecoms and security.
