Shaun, our local franchisee on the ground in Williamstown, South Australia, is of the firm belief that bigger isn’t always better. Shaun recently attended a home in Murraylands, where the customers had an existing antenna attached to a 12 metre mast (see pictured).

Jenny and Allan Duggan, based in Benjamin Street, Sunshine, have experienced their fair share of hard times, with each of their four children, Marc, Bryce, Nicholas and Jasmine, born with varying degrees of Autism.

It was so refreshing to have someone who actually resolved our TV issues….issues that we have had for years and even though we have had three different companies out to “fix” our reception problem..they never have.

Matt made every effort to accommodate my needs in meeting at our holiday house down south. He kept me informed the whole way and showed me the installation in detail as it required some alterations to the framework under the roof tiles. Nothing was too much for him to explain or do to make this […]
Daniel said he would resolve our TV reception problem and would give an honest assessment of the work needed.
