Anyone who has a job that requires climbing onto roofs can tell you stories about what they’ve seen up there. Roofers, home inspectors, quantity surveyors and of course, TV antenna installers all have tales to tell. When someone from Picture Perfect climbs up on your roof, they are not conducting an inspection and will not necessarily notice if something is amiss. Still, some things stand out so clearly that we can’t help but notice. Don’t worry. If something really jumps out at us, we’ll let you know. Here are a few things we’ve noticed while on the job.

We call our new antennas that are optimised for use with digital channels “digital antennas.” However, it’s true that older antennas can pick up digital signals. They’re just not usually as good at it. They may give you poor reception or be unable to tune into some channels at all. Why is this?
