Is It Worth Getting a TV Repaired?

This is a question we get asked all the time — and the answer might surprise you.

The first thing to know is that most TV problems are actually caused by poor signal from your TV antenna, not the TV itself. Over the years, we’ve seen plenty of customers assume the issue is with their television. They rush out to buy a new one, only to find the same problem persists — because the real culprit was the signal all along.

That’s why the first step is always to get your TV signal checked.

At Tiger Antennas in Hornsby, we offer free signal checks, so you don’t waste time or money replacing a TV that’s working perfectly.


Still Having Issues After a Signal Check?

If your signal is strong and you’re still experiencing problems, then it’s likely the issue is with the TV itself. Here are your next steps:

  1. Check if your TV is still under warranty
    • Most TVs come with a 1–2 year standard warranty, and some retailers offer extended warranties of up to 5 years.
    • If it’s still under warranty, contact the store where you bought it or the manufacturer.
  2. If it’s out of warranty, your best bet is to contact a trusted local repair technician.
