Effects of Damaged Cable

TV aerials play an important role in every household. They are installed so that the homeowners will get the best reception, quality pictures and therefore enable them to enjoy their favorite shows on TV. In order to achieve this, the aerials must be properly installed. However, even if the aerials are properly installed, there are times that the homeowners still get a bad reception. It is important that the causes are identified so you know how to deal with them.

One of the most common factor is the weather. It’s something that can greatly affect the TV signal yet it’s something that is extremely uncontrollable. Even the aerial cables are exposed to this kind of condition. They are exposed to the heat during summer causing them to be “baked” for some time. During the winter, they get frozen because of the low temperature. Frozen in winter and thawed in summer. This continuous cycle could cause cracked cables and from the cracks, water may enter the cables. All these can damage your aerials and your TV.

If you have problems on broken or loose aerials and cables, it can always be fixed. However, for water damaged cables, it is highly recommended that it should be replaced in order for you to have a better TV reception again.
