No reception on mums tv, so the technician ended up telling her she needed 2 new digital antennas, an amplifier and cabling, leads, and power supply (which was already there) etc to the to cost of $1701! Mum has nothing fancy, no foxtel or cable, just a normal tv but she is now the only one in her street with such a fancy antenna, but according to 2 other quotes I have since had mum was charged about $1200 too much. On questioning the invoice and installation, my phone calls were not returned, i was literally shouted at, I was sworn and abused at over the phone and then he hung up on me. Absolutely disgusting! Stay clear of this company entirely, there are a number of similar reviews out there about this company, I only wish I had read them earlier

I rang Antenna Specialists because we needed a TV Aerial. I'd rung for a few quotes and theirs was the best value ($180). The lady on the phone was friendly and the installer was on time, pleasant and knowledgeable. After installing the antenna I was advised we needed an amp to get proper signal as we lived in a suburb with variable signal. This costed an extra $220 which significantly blew out our budget. It may be that this was necessary but I would have liked to have had it raised in the original quote that our area was variable and may need an amp with a quote for that too. This would have allowed me to compare to amps from other providers. Our reception is now perfect but I'll always wonder if I could have got a better deal. Also they said on the phone that the guarantee was for 10 years and paperwork had 3 (which he changed for me) which wasn't consistent. If you need an antenna, get a quote for an amp too just in case.

Approximate cost: $400
