Find the cause of poor reception
One faulty outlet and a whole-house reception problem need different checks. Record the symptoms so the enquiry starts with the signal path that needs attention.
Choose repair or replacement with context
Discuss the antenna, mounts, cables and TV points before deciding what needs to change. Pixelation alone does not establish that a new antenna is required.
Plan for the TVs you use
Include existing and proposed TV locations, any extra outlets and whether the property uses a private antenna or a shared building system.

Before you book
Answers to common installation and repair questions.
Does pixelation mean I need a new antenna?
No. A damaged lead, faulty outlet, splitter, cabling, interference or an incoming signal issue can also cause pixelation. Note which TVs and channels are affected; testing the signal path helps identify the next step.
Can you help if only one TV has poor reception?
Yes, reception troubleshooting enquiries include individual TV points. Compare the same channel on another TV and check the accessible fly lead if you can do so safely. Share those results when you call.
Should I buy a signal booster first?
A booster is useful only when the signal conditions justify it. Too much amplification can make reception worse. Discuss the symptoms and any existing amplifier before buying additional equipment.
What if my apartment uses a shared antenna?
Shared MATV equipment, roof areas and building risers may be managed by a body corporate or property manager. Ask who controls the system and can approve access. A private TV outlet fault and shared-system work need different scopes.
What information helps with a quote?
Include your suburb or postcode, property type, roof and access details, number of TV points, affected channels and when the problem occurs. Take photos only from a safe position; do not climb onto the roof or enter the roof space.
Property-specific planning
What changes for TV antenna installation in Brisbane.
Separate a private reception fault from shared building infrastructure before replacement is discussed.
House, townhouse or apartment
A detached house may have one private signal path. Apartments and some townhouse sites can use shared MATV equipment, common roof space or building risers. Confirm who controls the system and whether a body corporate or property manager must approve access.
Diagnosis before replacement
Pixelation, missing channels or one faulty outlet do not establish that a new antenna is required. Note which televisions are affected, when the fault appears and whether roofing, renovation or cabling work happened before the problem began.
