If you are one of the many people who set up their Freeview with a simple scan for channels and haven’t thought twice about it since, then there is a chance that you aren’t getting all the channels that you could be.

Scanning for channels isn’t as simple as the set top box collating all the available channels out there and then presenting them for your immediate pleasure. Instead, the set top box will only pick up the channels that it can detect at that time and there are many elements that could mean that you missed a few, or even quite a lot.

For instance, poor weather at the time could have made a big difference as could generally diminished signal strength. Then there are more permanent issues such as being in a generally poor signal area, having physical items blocking the signal or having your aerial pointed in the wrong direction. You may also find that your aerial simply isn’t up to scratch anymore and actually need to undertake a new aerial installation.

A quick search on the web may give you an idea of whether or not you are missing channels, although with more and more channels being added all the time, you still might not have them all. If you think you may be missing some channels, the best idea is to get the professionals in. We can give you a full aerial MOT and help make sure that you are getting exactly what you paid for.

Let’s face it, no matter how awesome your huge new flatscreen TV may be, it can sometimes create a look or atmosphere that’s less than conducive to your living room/bedroom/kitchen/bathroom/office décor! Our installation experts have compiled this list of their favourite ways to stylishly conceal your TV.

Wall mounting

Ok, so mounting your TV’s isn’t exactly the same as concealing them completely, but it’s certainly the thriftiest way to keep your flatscreens out of the way! Wall mounting your TV is a great way to free up floor/cabinet space and really de-clutter the room. Particularly in terms of Multiroom installation of media services, wall mounting helps to keep your home free from hoards of storage furniture and precariously placed shelves. Professional TV wall mounting services like ours are certainly worth the peace of mind!

Art Covers

Create your own original art or pick out your favourite renowned piece to grace your remote controlled, wall mounted TV cover. This can be pricey, but you’ll never tire of showing it off!

Cabinet

The classics are often the best! Specially designed media storage cabinets have come on a lot in the past decade. Some include a central wall space for you to mount your TV, leaving it framed by convenient contemporary storage.

The TV lamp

Definitely one of the most inventive and ingenious concealments we came across! Your TV is mounted atop a lamp stand; the specially designed lampshade glides over your TV to cover it when out of use.
