Antennas Installed Today

Ripped off. Charges too much . Over $1000 for an antenna. Beware!!!!!!
BEWARE - SCAM LICENCE PLATE 401KR2 – I fell victim to this scam as well. Tech arrives and inserts a tester into the wall adaptor ports. You can actually see him click the buttons down to show you 'poor reception'. Then insists he will install a top of the range - best in the area antenna and amplifier. Turns out it was a $99 Jaycar antenna and a $30 amp - 1 hours work...$1300!!!!!! Moves onto the next victim. Drives a chinese brown vehicle licence plate number 401KR2.
Not happy – Over charge for job. Fit basic antenna replacing existing antenna. 30minutes. $759.00 PLUS consistent badgering to buy more expensive antenna. Then trying to con me into a booster. Not happy. Show details
Very expensive but satisfied – I had a 31 inch TV installed today on a brick wall outside and an aerial plug fixed. They advertised $100 off this week but it still came to $590 which is extremely expensive. I probably wouldn't have gotten them out at all considering the shocking reviews but because they have changed their name multiple times I was not aware of their poor… Read more
history as it doesn't show clearly. However, the man AJ did a fine job and I am satisfied with its position and the job overall. That being said, I'm upset at being mislead and still not sure what your company is called. Is it Antennas Today or Perfect TV Picture, or one of the 16 other names you have gone by? Thankfully the job went well and many thanks AJ who was very polite and did the job asked. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend at such price and cheap materials but it is what is is!!
VERY BAD – This company sent a technician who said we needed a new antenna but told us he could restore reception with an amplifier and some cabling. It worked for about a day or two. We were charged over $1300. Today we had a well known franchise install a new antenna complete for less than $700. PefectTV Picture used poor quality and unsuitable products.… Read more
We were ripped off. Please do not use this company, they are crooks. I just wish I'd read the reviews first. Please read the reviews, they are all bad for a good reason.
Rip off – TV Antenna man ABN 73950988003, overcharge. Replace storm damaged antenna, didn’t even test or view to see if it needed replacing. Twenty minutes later $1,500 charged. Asked for quote told just done three other jobs in the area, insurance will pay. When I did my homework I realised I had been overcharged and questioned it only to be told, tough you accepted the quote. Bullied into it more likely. Wish I had read the reviews on this company.
Advised to replace the antenna, then charged to fixed the issue – The Antenna man said there was low signal and suggested to replace the antenna, When the antenna was replace still no signal, no FTA stations. Then did some fiddling in the roof and the connection to the TV and there was signal. Average Digital antenna $1089.00 Double the other companies. Be very careful overcharging abuse with this company, they also trade under Antenna Man and Show details
Wrong Advice – Said I needed a new antenna, starting at $450, charged me $190 for incorrect info, another company repaired the cable for a little more than they changed for absolutely nothing, waste of time & money Have not responded to any of my emails ABN 73 950 988 003 Show details
Discussed – Over charged by this company $1600 to have an antenna installed.Wish I had read the reviews first. Don’t use this company. Show details
Do not use this company - absolute rip off – Wish we would have seen all the bad reviews first. Got charged $250 labour for about an hours work. The mark up on there products is ludicrous. Amplifyer $89 retail but charged us $300 then antenna is $64.56 retail and they stung us $450. Watch out as they have multiple business names so do your homework first…. Our invoice shows ABN 73 950 988 003. Definitely would never use again nor recommend to anybody else.
Perfect TV picture, ABN 73 950 988 003. Save yourself pain, they are expensive, unprofessional and totally rude – Perfect TV picture, ABN 73 950 988 003. It took me several phone calls for the antenna man to come back to check the imperfect tv picture he left us with. 4 months after installing the antenna, he finally came to our home and fixed it. But he was annoyed and left in a hurry, slamming the door and swearing.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY – This company has many sister companies under their belt, Antenna Man, Perfect TV Picture, Television, Antennas Today they are not professional and will rip you off. They attempted to charge me $1300 for a replacement amplifier when only the power supply required replacing at $25.00 The owner Richard is a convicted con man. DO NOT USE & PLEASE REPORT Show details
These people are thieves – These people charged me over $1500 for less than 30 minutes work, invoicing over $700 for the antenna and close to $500 for the amplifier. They then charged my credit card an additional $300 over and above what was on the invoice. THIEVES!

Really bad company – This company rips off people. They charged me $1089 for an antenna. They only cost $400. I have taken them to VCAT Show details
NO. This company – I extensively researched the cost of antennas before asking for quotes form a number of sources. This company quoted a make never even mentioned by two specialist retailers, whose top of the range was less than half the price. the rest of the quote was equally exorbitant, even when choosing the mid-range antenna. Thankfully I found an installer… Read more
who has done an excellent job for less than half the price with a quality antenna producing strong signals from every channel.
A Financial Disaster - Don't use this Company – I installed my Foxtel IQ4 set top box, replacing my IQ2, now free to air is unavailable, you need an external aerial, I called 0409 888228 - supposedly trading as Antennas Today, the ABN is 73 950 988 003 and belongs to Perfect TV Picture, the Director is Ricky Hobman, was charged $1190 for a new aerial, $490 for an amplifier, $250 for the mount… Read more
to my roof, splitters and cable, no change out of $2,200 an absolute ripoff, have called several times, no answer, have emailed them too to no avail, never give this phone number a call, many business names under this ABN, avoid at all costs
RIP OFF – Do not under any circumstances use these rip off merchants..keep listening to your radio until you can get a local guy. Quoted me $1450 to replace the whole antenna amplifier and power supply which is not only around triple the local guys price but the only part needing replacing was the amplifier at $275 supplied and installed. Just to be sure their ABN is 73950988003 Blow in from Vic. Show details
This guy is a con artist – [Name Removed] came to look at why I was getting not tv. Told me I needed new antenna, new wiring, new amplifier infact new everything. He then cut the wire to the aerial. Told him no - go away. He had quoted $950.00. I have just had the job done and now I have the tv working. Total cost $310.00, bloody robber, do not use this guy. He has lots of different names too so be aware. Show details
Angry. No integrity – Angry. Called what I thought was local service for antenna review due to average to no reception. Guy turned up 1hr late no apology, no customer service skills and after 5mins told me I need a new antenna...at $580, he went away to buy mast arm for it came back spent over an 1hr trying to find cables in roof for one of the 6 antenna ports??

me I need antenna booster ..a must ok..sure but adds another $100 so $680 all up. I've not checked aerial installed but booster is $21.50 I feel a little ripped off. Esp as this business is not even in my state owned by individual in Vic using 20 other business names to capture work..disappointed however I do have reception if I can add a positive to support 1 star. Receipt shows antennas today under abn 73 950 988 093 mobile 0408 154 222 banking details show perfect tv picture Patterson Lakes Vic as does epfpos receipt. Would not recommend.
DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! – Called up Attena Man and they sent me a subcontractor. The service technician came out and spent 15 minutes - maybe less running a signal test. Replaced two TV aerial cables (apparently high quality), actually he handed them to me and I did it myself and then charged us $125. I would not have proceeded had I known upfront this was how much we… Read more
were going to be charged to replace two cables. I called to make a complaint and was told they would refer this matter to management, let's see if anything comes of it.
Over priced – This guy came around .said this and that had to be done.said it was an old cable made had to be replaced ..sounded like a big job did it about 20 minutes said it was connected thru sattelite dish..i had a closer look about 3 weeks later .used the old cable and looked at the sattelite and he just sticky taped the old cable to post to make it look… Read more
like its gone thru the sattelite.charged me about 500 for booster which is 10 times less the cost....pretty dishonest if you ask me...was told paid to much...lesson learned next time get a few quotes
DODGY – We had a brand new $1500 antenna installed 7 years ago. We recently had interference issues and our TVs were not working. They said we needed a new antenna and booster. Of course the mid price did not work, so had to upgrade - then this didnt work. We are now out of pocket $1100 and still no better off. They now tell us that we need new cabling and that we probably didnt need a new antenna. There slogan is Perfect TV Picture - yeah right! Show details

Value Antennas brilliant!! – We called for an installation, got the technician to come same day, he spent time problem solving and delivering optimum service for a older house with challenges. Really appreciated the porfessionalism, and cheerfulness. Highly recommended to anyone. Excellent job Mike!
https://antennaservice.net.au/ Do Not use there services ripoffs – Do not use this company as they are a rip off and over charge you for equipment and installation. Stay away from this website https://antennaservice.net.au/. I was taken for a ride and hope that other don't get ripped off in the future
WARNING!!! Dodgy company!!!!!!!! – WARNING!!!Do not contact for any services!!!!! Had an antenna installed incorrectly in 2017 and now needs replacing. l was told that they would not be refunding the money for the faulty install or the antenna that requires replacement 0 OUT OF 5 STARS
Scammers – Antenna Man Bayswater - Had a technician out to check what was causing interference on my TV. After checking a few things he suggested a new antenna which I agreed to. After all, he is the expert! Problem turned out to be the internet dongle causing the interference. Company not prepared to offer any sort of refund for purchasing an antenna that I didn't need.

Disgusting service – Bought a brand new Tv had 2 young inexperienced boys come to install it. Left us with all the mess and didnt test the TV to see if it worked. Paid 450 to have the tv mounted, they wrecked my wall and broke the antenna. We approached the office and had a senior come out tested the TV and said it was faulty send it back! We decided to get another… Read more
technician out and we later found that the pin of the antenna was forced and broken, hence why the boys couldnt get out quick enough! On calling the office I spoke to the owner and told him politely what happened I said I wanted the mount put up properly my wall fixed and my tv replaced as the piece cannot be bought. He refused and offered no compensation He closed the phone in my ear. Telling me he didnt want to talk to me No response to my email Im totally disgusted on all counts!!
No show, no apologies, overpriced – Technician did not show up to the booked appointment. Called and explained my situation, no apologies or anything - was then quoted a ridiculous price over the phone of $200-$300 for a single antenna point lol. These guys are unprofessional and overpriced. Just avoid them
I just gave up – So I emailed them and they send the antenna man to install the antenna... After few days I noticed I can't watch some of the channels, so I emailed them again... And emailed them again... Eventually I got the response asking my address... Waited a week or so, emailed them and then again was asked due the address... after few days got a call and… Read more
arrange an appointment. No one showed up!
Emailed them again... And got a call was told to change my TV cable... called them after trying everything, was told he's coming now... told him no one's home now how about another day, was told he's busy the whole week and I should call them when I can.... Any ways, I eventually gave up
Didn't turn up, no communication – Booked for Saturday for 11am, made it clear that I couldn't stick around, technician did a no show. Called in to find out what was going on and was told that I wasn't booked in for 11am, it was actually 11am-3pm, this pretty important point was never communicated to me. Would have been fine if they told me this, instead the whole thing was a complete waste of time.
Positive Experience – Quite impressed. After getting the run around from Austar after they failed to install the day they were supposed to for my new house was left needing an antenna just for free view channels. Called this company and a friendly technician was around [name removed] within 90 mins and installed an antenna all working perfectly within an hour. As name suggests they installed that day.
Installing new TV points – After installing a TV antenna and 2 points in my new house I called this company back to install another 6 points and they used different wall outlets? Different style and colour. The first 2 also matched the electrical outlets and computer outlets as you would expect. There would be a charge if I wanted them replaced. I wasn't asked if I… Read more
wanted my additional TV points to be the same style as the first 2 installed previously. I was also over-charged and had to call twice before getting a credit.
