Reasons to replace a TV aerial
One reason to replace a working aerial is if it has been damaged and is causing a rattling or noise when it is windy. People usually detect this at night when they’re in bed. They can hear the aerial rattling in the wind, keeping them awake. The aerial itself may still be working, but it would be advisable to replace it. Both for a good nights’ sleep, & before parts of it break off and fall onto the neighbours’ property causing damage.
Transmitter changes frequency
Sometimes a change of frequency from the transmitter can cause problems with this. Therefore, the only solution is to replace the antenna with one that will pick up all of the frequencies being broadcast.
Conclusion
So, on average a good quality TV aerial should last upwards of 15 years. However, it really can depend where it is located. Aerials that are fit in a location that is very exposed, especially to the sea air tend to fair worse that those in a more inland and sheltered location.
