    Great Job

    We called Chris in desperation after our local aerial guy retired. Chris said he will be adding Georgina to his service area, which is great that we can now call a competent aerial expert for the area. One day our system worked and the next it wouldn't. Chris attended and through a process of elimination, found a faulty pre-amp unit. He then set up our system without replacing the pre-amp. He told me you try the system to see what you need first, then add. In other words keep it simple. This will not only save money for the customer, but eliminate problems if an add-on fails. We had started to stream a lot of shows using Roku, Netflix and Prime, but we wanted to watch local area news. I took stock of the shows we were watching on cable and I researched what channels we could get over the air by antenna. It turned we could get all of our main networks and shows we recorded before. It was a no-brainer to go with an aerial system. If you want to get off of expensive cable or satellite, Chris is the person to call.

    Great service

    Chris is a professional no nonsense type of guy. He is a real expert and can get you set up in no time. Friendly and knowledgeable. I can definitely recommend his service to anyone who would like to just scrap their old antenna or simply have a nice alternative to cable television. With my antenna I got 40 channels... I'm definitely amazed... no more paying for cable television!!

    Excellent results

    We have terrible FM reception. The house has vynil siding and aluminum foil wrapped insulation. The doctor installed the antenna on an old TV tower. Reception is now excellent and the work was done neatly and fast.

    Replaced defective antenna / pre-amp with a European Deep Fringe Yagi on 40 ft tower.

    Chris is the third antenna installer I contacted to do this work. The first one, who claims to have been in the business most of his life, did everything he could to dissuade me from installing an antenna he was not familiar with even though I had provided him with all the manufacturer's technical literature and pictures of my existing antenna and tower. Finally after numerous emails he simply backed out and refused to do the work. The second contractor I found was also familiar with my location and had numerous years in the business. At the last minute, he advised that he had hurt his knee and would not be climbing any towers any time soon. Christopher was a real breath of fresh air! He had no problem in agreeing to take on the work as long as I acknowledged that he would not guarantee the performance of my "customer supplied antenna". To make this long story short, Chris arrived yesterday (the July 1st holiday) with his wife and did an incredibly professional job in removing my old antenna and pre-amp and installing my new antenna. His cost, on a time and materials basis, was significantly lower than I had anticipated and is entirely fair. This is the third time I have had work done on this antenna tower over the last 25+ years. Christopher was, by far, the best equipped, most professional person who has climbed my tower to install an antenna. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him for this type of job. I am located in a deep fringe area. My old deep fringe yagi antenna did a pretty good job until the pre-amp died. The new antenna is even better. The total number of Channels I now get, including sub channels is 36. This is 10 more than with the previous antenna when it was working.

    Antenna raise and reposition

    We had Christopher raise and reposition our antenna. Prior to the work we were lucky to get 30 channels (and many of those would drop periodically). Christopher mounted the antenna on a pole to give it better height and also aimed it properly and now we get about 13-15 channels extra. Signal seldom drops now and we rarely lose Buffalo channels any longer. We even get a few Rochester stations on occasion were we never saw any before. Dr Antenna knows his stuff and is a friendly individual and great worker/technician.

    Antenna removal

    I called Christopher about an HD antenna that had become loose on my roof. He said he was in the area and would be at my house shortly. He arrived within an hour and a half, and had the antenna down in less than an hour after that. I wish all contractors were as prompt, responsible, and efficient as Christopher. Bravo to him and his company.

    Ketchen TV Antenna

    Chris did not get my Kitchen TV Antenna working. Amateur and He made a mess of my house by walking up and down with his shoes on for 2 hours. I realized too late that he could not do the job and asked him to leave and he charged me $125. I am not angry and I think this is a fair review. I paid Chris because I felt that I had to pay for my own mistake for hiring an Amateur. I am writing so other will not make the same mistake.

    Answer from pro:

    I'm sorry you feel that way Mr. Wilson I'm a good technician but I'm not a magician I can't make wires appear in your attic that aren't there spent an hour and a half checking your system checking all the wires you said they were in the attic and none of them lead to your kitchen Should I have not been paid for my attempt to trace wires that are not there anyone who reads your review is going to realize you're just an angry man definitely not an accurate review of me
