Are you constantly dealing with pixelated images, audio dropouts, or channels disappearing altogether? Poor TV reception can be frustrating, especially when you’re trying to enjoy your favorite programs. At Brocky’s TV & Internet Solutions, we specialize in professional TV antenna repair services across the Sunshine Coast, helping homeowners restore clear, uninterrupted viewing.
If your reception is acting up, one of these five common issues may be the cause—and we’ll show you how to fix it.
1. Damaged or Aged Antenna Equipment
Outdoor antennas are constantly exposed to harsh weather conditions, including wind, rain, sun, and even salt in coastal areas. Over time, components can rust, break, or lose alignment, leading to signal issues.
How to Fix It:
Inspect the antenna for visible damage, corrosion, or loose elements. If your antenna is more than 10 years old, it may be time to consider a professional replacement. Brocky’s TV offers expert TV antenna repair services and installations to get your signal back on track.
2. Loose or Faulty Coaxial Connections
Even if your antenna is functioning perfectly, the signal can still be disrupted by loose, frayed, or poorly fitted coaxial cables inside your home. These issues are often overlooked during DIY setups.
How to Fix It:
Check all cable connections at wall plates, splitters, and the back of your TV. Tighten or replace cables as needed. If you’re unsure, our technicians can perform a full system inspection and replace damaged lines to ensure clean signal delivery.
3. Incorrect Antenna Positioning or Alignment
TV antennas must be properly aligned with local broadcast towers to receive a strong and stable signal. If the antenna shifts due to wind or was never correctly positioned, reception will suffer.
How to Fix It:
Use a signal meter or consult coverage maps to ensure correct alignment. At Brocky’s TV, we use precision tools to point your antenna for optimal reception based on your exact location and terrain.
4. Signal Interference from Nearby Structures
Buildings, trees, hills, and even nearby electronic devices can interfere with your TV signal. This is particularly common in urban areas or in valleys where line-of-sight to the broadcast tower is blocked.
How to Fix It:
Raising the antenna or relocating it to a higher point on your roof can often solve interference problems. Our technicians assess the best possible position for your antenna to overcome physical obstructions and maximize signal strength.
5. Using an Incompatible or Low-Quality Signal Booster
Many households use signal boosters in an attempt to improve reception. However, the wrong type of amplifier—or a poorly installed one—can overload the system or increase noise, worsening reception.
How to Fix It:
Only use signal amplifiers that are suited to your specific antenna setup and reception conditions. We offer professional-grade boosters and ensure proper installation to enhance performance without distortion.
