Digital TV Installation

Today’s Home Entertainment Systems have digital tv as an integral component. Be it LCD tv, LCD HD tv, LED tv or plasma screen, digital tv offers a far wider choice of television viewing with lots of extra channels and reduced interference.

Digital tv also provides a greater selection of wide-screen programming, an on-screen programming guide, interactive services, and in some cases, High Definition and Dolby Surround Sound 5.1. Let AMI put that together with digital tv surround sound speakers and a multi room system and you can watch and listen wherever you want!

 

Digital TV options

By 2012, the UK’s TV service is switching to digital and you need to be ready for the switchover. Below is a brief description of some of the more popular packages available.

Freeview Logo

FREEVIEW
Freeview is received through your standard TV aerial. All channels are free to watch, there's no installation or subscription cost, no contract, and no engineer needs to visit.

Freeview offers around 40 TV channels and 25 radio stations - the channel line-up is more limited than Sky Digital.

The Free-View service is now built in to most new televisions. To check availability in your area please go to: http://www.freeview.co.uk/availability/ However, if you are having difficulty receiving this service through your aerial, AMI will provide a free survey within a 30mile radius and carry out the necessary work to rectify the situation there and then having provided a price for you.

For those of you who have difficulty receiving the Free-View service due to trees or other obstacles there is the Free-Sat version received through a dish. Again we provide a free survey within a 30 mile radius to advise on the best possible and most unobtrusive position in which to site the dish which is generally not more than 60cm in diameter.

There is also the Sky TV service for which we will carry out the same service as for Free-Sat above.

To get Sky, you sign up online, and arrange for a Sky engineer to install a satellite dish and hook up a digibox to your existing TV. If you're considering Sky, we recommend you look at Sky+, the digital recorder that will change the way you watch TV...
