Must-see TV for 2014

Posted by

You’ll be glad you have good satellite or aerial coverage this year because there are some hotly anticipated programmes about to hit the silver screen. Grab the biggest tub of popcorn you can find, don those 3D glasses and get ready to be blown away by these must-view features.

  • World Cup: Yey! It’s been four long years since the last world cup but the wait is nearly over, we’ll soon be glued to the television watching the best players in the world compete for their respective countries in Brazil. Think England can go all the way this time? Will Rooney be on form? Probably not but we can live in hope!
  • The Fall: Gillian Anderson was brilliant in the first series of The Fall and if the early reports are anything to go by expect more of the same from the second series. See what happens to serial killer Paul Spector, will he finally get his comeuppance?
  • Mad Men: Due for release in the spring and sadly the last series of this excellent programme. The rumour has it the final series will actually be split, half will be shown this year and the final few programmes in 2015.
  • Suspects: A crime-drama starring the excellent Fay Ripley has got to be good, especially when it’s filmed fly-on-the-wall style as early previews would indicate. You don’t have long to wait for this, tune in from February onwards.
  • From There To Here: Set around Manchester in 1996, this programme is based on a man whose life is ripped apart by the IRA bombings in the June of that year. It starts Philip Glenister, Bernard Hill and Steven Mackintosh so with that meaty cast list it’s definitely one to watch out for.

5 Things To Consider Before You Wall-Mount Your TV

Posted by

Wall-mounting a television is a practical solution, freeing up space in the room and providing a comfortable platform to watch your favourite shows and movies. However, the work involved – and the potential costs involved if you get it wrong – can be more than a little daunting. Follow our practical advice to ensure you get the best results.

tvFind the ideal place: Work out the best position to mount your TV. This could be over the fireplace, for example, or on a main feature wall. Alternatively, you might want to place the television at a slight angle in the corner of the room. Think about where you’ll be seated when you are watching television to find the best viewing angle, and avoid putting it in a position where it will be affected by screen glare.

How are you going to mount it? Once you decide on the exact position to hang the TV you need to decide on the best mounting method. The best option is to choose an approved wall bracket that fixes firmly to the wall. Read the manual that comes with the TV for advice about weight, fixing instructions and the type of bracket you should be using. Think carefully about the height at which you’d like your TV to be mounted as well.

Do you want to conceal the wires? Before you fix a bracket to the wall, decide whether you want to conceal the AV and power cables. If you want the wires totally hidden you’ll need to ‘chase’ channels into your wall which is a rather labour intensive task. Cable covers are an easier option, they help to manage your cables and you can paint over them afterwards.

Can somebody help you? It’s handy to have another pair of hands around when you are mounting a TV to the wall. Another person will be useful, especially when you are lifting the LCD TV onto the bracket, they can take some of the strain. Make sure somebody is available to help on the day you mount the TV. It’ll save time, you can work together on the project and prevent any accidents.

Are you a confident DIY-er? Mounting a TV to a wall isn’t for everyone. Some people will struggle with this type of work, and as you’ll be hanging hundreds – if not thousands – of pounds worth of equipment, not to mention potentially damaging your walls, it may be best to bring in the professionals if you’re at all unsure.

If you’d like to make sure your TV is wall mounted safely, securely and tidily, contact JNB Aerials’ qualified engineers today. Call 01619568654 or fill in our contact form to the right of the page for a quick quote with no obligation.
