Having trouble with pixelated pictures, missing channels or a TV signal that keeps dropping out? Poor TV reception can be frustrating, especially when you’re trying to enjoy your favourite programs.
There are several reasons why your TV reception may be unreliable, including an old antenna, damaged cables, incorrect antenna positioning, signal interference or changes to your home’s surrounding environment.

Common Causes of Poor TV Reception
1. Old or Damaged TV Antenna
Over time, an outdoor antenna can become damaged by weather, rust, strong winds and general wear and tear. Older antennas may also struggle to provide reliable reception with today’s digital TV services.
2. Damaged or Poor-Quality Cables
The antenna itself may be working correctly, but damaged coaxial cables, loose connections or poor-quality splitters can reduce the signal reaching your television.
3. Incorrect Antenna Position
Your antenna needs to be correctly positioned toward the appropriate transmission tower. Even a small change in direction can sometimes affect reception.
4. Signal Interference
Electrical equipment, nearby structures and other sources of interference can affect your TV signal. Homes surrounded by tall buildings or located in areas with difficult terrain may also experience reception problems.
When Should You Replace Your TV Antenna?
If your antenna is old, visibly damaged or regularly losing channels, it may be time to have it inspected. A professional antenna technician can test the signal and determine whether the problem is the antenna, cabling, splitter or another part of the system.
