Constant faffing!
Absolutely ridiculous service from this aerial company. I didn’t realise that part of the installation package included turning my living room into a family signal-adjustment team.
Every single evening, I have to position my three children around the room like human antennas. One stands by the window. One holds the cable. The other is under strict instructions not to breathe too heavily. Meanwhile, I’m just trying to watch my soaps in peace.
Instead of relaxing after a long day, I’m shouting things like “DON’T MOVE!” and “IT WAS CLEAR A SECOND AGO!” while the screen flickers between static and someone’s forehead.
At one point, when the picture cut out for the fifteenth time, I accidentally shouted, “BLOODY HELL FIRE JUST GET OUT!” at my eldest for shifting half an inch. The poor lad was just standing there trying to be helpful.
I paid for a professional aerial installation, not to run a nightly signal boot camp in my own living room. I just want to sit down and watch my programmes without assigning my children reception-based responsibilities.
Sort it out.
