## About this site

The site exists to connect UK homeowners and landlords with CAI-registered TV aerial installers covering their specific postcode area, and to publish technically accurate, vendor-neutral information about UK terrestrial television reception.

We do not sell aerials or equipment. We route enquiries to installers covering each UK postcode. The site is editorially independent.
