Installation of a Inb Freesat quad dish to two rooms. Great service from Dave & Jack. Clean and tidy job. Well mannered and respectful, nothing too much trouble, even got tuition on new Freesat recording box.
Mike, Warwick, on Checkatrade, 12^th December 2022.

DD Aerials were prompt, well equipped and did the job exactly as agreed. Dave and his colleague were very prompt, arriving as agreed at 8am (time for arrival 0800-0900) they were efficient and quick workers.
We live in an old building converted into flats and it was a challenge finding out which Sky dish was whose on the roof. Dave was quickly able to locate and update our dish, they tested the signal before leaving with everything done in about an hour. Sky came that afternoon and without any problems managed to connect our Sky Q.
Everything went really smoothly (for once!) Jode, Solihull, on Trustpilot, 2^nd April 2022.

Excellent service. Our aerial snapped due to age and exposure. Elaine dealt with our request carefully. It was a bleak, cold, and drizzly day but David arrived before time and was both professional and cheerful.
Mr Balmere, Solihull, on Trustpilot, 11^th December 2021.

Problem with TV signal. David arrived and quickly identified the problem which was then resolved.
Mr Cook, Stourbridge, on Trustpilot, 23^rd November 2021.

Brilliant on site service from Nik & Dave. This wasn’t an easy job as it required installation of a Wi-fi network, multiple Wi-fi extenders and sky tv to 4 points of the house (as well as 2 large TVs to set up and wall hang). Nik & Dave worked quickly, efficiently and were very neat and tidy. They take all the stress away and their rates are very reasonable. Nicky, Stourbridge, on Trustpilot, 16^th October 2021.

Excellent new aerial installation. We recently had a new aerial fitted in our loft, to replace an outdated one. The service was very efficient, and the work completed the next day. Robert was friendly and thorough, and explained what he was doing at each stage. He made sure it was all working before he left. Excellent company, and we definitely recommend them! Deborah, Halesowen, on Trustpilot, 20^th August 2022.

Thanks to Elaine and engineers Richard and Rob for the amazing service – a weight off my mind in helping my mother out when I couldn’t! Patient understanding reliable efficient and trustworthy.
Karen, Birmingham, B31, on Trustpilot, 14^th May 2022.

Fantastic Customer Service!
Thank you Digital Direct for working with the Building Management to resolve a Sky satellite signal issue, for me the tenant. Rob was excellent in delivering a fantastic service, he was on site early, carried out all works in a professional manner, keeping me informed and area clean at all times. I felt Rob went over and beyond to ensure that I, the customer, was not disappointed. He did this by working with the Sky engineer, who would not have be able to complete installation of Sky tv had Rob not offered to assist with the connectivity to the wallplate and dish. Rob you’re an absolute star! Even the Sky engineer was taken aback at how genuinely you worked to ensure Sky tv could be installed today. Jaz, Bilston WV14, on Trustpilot, 5^th October 2021.

From the initial contact with Mark to installation from Rob, friendly and professional and competitive price. Would recommend. Jeanette, Birmingham, on Trustpilot, 19th June 2020.

Excellent service. Great communication from Kerry and Sarah, super friendly too. Excellent service from Rob who come to do the job. Would definitely use them again and recommend their services to all. 100% top notch. Lindsay, Birmingham, on Trustpilot, 15th May 2020.

Excellent Response and Service I live in an apartment complex in Solihull where our communal television service failed affecting about twenty residences. Digital Direct juggled their workload so they were able to visit our complex in the morning after the problem occurred and restored the service. Rob the engineer checked on two elderly residence to ensure their tv settings were maintained and the televisions were functioning correctly which was much appreciated. Ronald, on Trustpilot, 20th December 2019.

Fast reliable and cost was fair. Thank you to the team at DD . Especially Elaine who was really helpful booking in and Richard who explained everything clearly and knowledgeably. Louis, Bromsgrove, on Trustpilot, 21^st December 2022.

Excellent, Excellent service! This being the second time we have used this company. We were the first call of the day, and Richard arrived early to the appointment time. This was great for us, as we had the remainder of the day to ourselves. Richard immediately identified and explained the problem (a new one to the previous issue), he then successfully rectified. All was sorted in approximately 1 hour. As previously, we felt very comfortable with Richard being in our home. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.
Jones, Halesowen B64, on Trustpilot, 15^th December 2022.

Fantastic company, great service. Elaine was professional and friendly and the engineer that attended, Richard,

My 87 yr old mum was fretting because her television had lost its signal. I phoned digital direct Birmingham who came to her rescue. The lady who took my call was so helpful and understood completely how important a lifeline a television is to older people. Richard, the television engineer, was round in half an hour, and fixed the problem for a very reasonable cost. Thank you so much. Jeanette, Solihull, on Trustpilot, 2^nd August 2022.

Excellent service. Did not expect my issue to be resolved on first visit but the engineer Richard was very professional and efficient, located and rectified the reception problem within 1 hour of arrival.
Totally satisfied and would recommend DDA. BS, Hagley, on Trustpilot, 11^th July 2022.

Karen, Birmingham, B31, on Trustpilot, 14^th May 2022.

We recently moved into a new home, and were confused about how to get our four televisions set up and working. We also needed three of them to be mounted on the wall. Richard did all this for us in a morning, patiently explaining how to work them. As well as being technically competent , Richard is a nice guy. The company was very efficient in arranging the appointment. Highly recommended.

LG 65″ TV – Wall mount and devices connected. Andy (the fitter), did a superb job in wall mounting my new 65″ LG OLED TV and concealing the wiring. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable, Connected my devices to TV and checked they were all working. Excellent job.
Andy, Birmingham, B29, on Trustpilot, 21^st October 2022.

What a great service! When I rang yesterday the lady I spoke to was very helpful. This morning, Andy rang to let me know what time he would arrive. He was polite and informative and carried out the work required quickly and efficiently, in spite of the heavy rain we were experiencing at the time! Thank you!
Mary, Coventry, on Trustpilot, 5^th October 2022.

Excellent service. Andy gave me a call to say he was nearby and what time he would arrive by. He was even patient enough to wait whilst I joined a video call.. Andy was extremely professional, very polite and friendly, he took the time to understand what we wanted and explained how he could make it happen. He also respected that I was on a work call and was able to avoid making too much noise. I was able to leave Andy to get on with the work needed and he did so perfectly.. He also cleaned up after himself and left everything as he found it. Thanks so much to Andy .. we are now finally able to watch live tv without having to rely on the internet.

Absolutely outstanding service from this company Elaine was first point of call and arranged a visit within hours .. Andy who told me “ no I definitely don’t need a new Ariel “ which really impressed me .. Andy went on to solve the issue and took the time and effort to explain to me what he was doing. I would most definitely use D.D. again and would recommend them to anyone else. Pauline. Kidderminster, on Trustpilot, 9^th July 2022.

Top quality installation. Highest recommendation. Thank you Andy.
Robert, Stourbridge, on Trustpilot, 4^th July 2022.

Absolutely first rate! From being able to book through ANY method I chose (email, phone – hugely important for people unable to use phones), then by being kept up to date by customer service, and then Andy who came to diagnose and put right the problems we had. Andy looked for the cheapest solution despite the fact he could have sold us the most expensive aerial. He didn’t. Instead, he told us we only needed the smaller aerial. He also replaced an ancient cable after showing the different readings between old and new cable, and left us with a 100% signal strength – for a bargain price! Sue, Lichfield, on Trustpilot, 21^st June 2022.

Great service, well organised, Andy the engineer sorted out everything we required. Would use again.
Sarah, Bromsgrove, on Trustpilot, 10^th May 2022.

Andy arrived well within the time frame and diagnosed problem. New cable was then installed. This was very awkward due to the aerial being up a tree away from the house along a very narrow path on the top of a steep slippery bank and through the roof space with very limited access. All done very professionally. Television was then re-tuned and all is now good. Lynn, Stourbridge, on Trustpilot, 24^th January 2022.

Andy the Technician arrived, AKA the Yoda (he who knows everything) of Remotes. Within twenty minutes he had sussed out the problem and totally re set the remote. Fantastic! He then said would I like him to alter the settings to improve the viewing quality of the TV. Seriously, what he did I haven’t a clue but I now will not need to book an eye test for my glasses as in the evenings I thought something was wrong with my eyes.

Called Digital Direct for a visit to see what was required. Had an engineer called Ben arrive same day and booking in the work promptly for the following week. Ben was informative, worked cautiously and very tidy. After and before service calls from Elaine as well. So my experience dealing with Digital Direct was an extremely positive one and would recommend their services. Thank you. Mark, Stourbridge, on Trustpilot, 12^th July 2022.

Ben worked out above and beyond to get the most satisfying solution quickly and it wasn’t long before we were connected up. The price was very good as he managed work-rounds to reduce the cost. I would certainly recommend them. Jonathan, Stourbridge, on Trustpilot, 20^th June 2022.

Excellent service and lovely company to deal with, Ben solved our issue with the poor picture quality.
Highly recommend. Sue, Halesowen, on Trustpilot, 20^th June 2022.

I called for an engineer as my TV viewing was almost non-existent.
Too many cables and aerials that didn’t work properly. Ben came out, assessed the situation, made recommendations and when I gave him the go ahead he proceeded with the work in a professional and thorough way. I am delighted, I now have a TV that can provide the channels I want and for a reasonable price. From start (my initial call to Elaine) to finish (Ben coming out and completing the work) it was a painless service. Thank you. Molly, on Trustpilot, 30th May 2022.

Brilliant service Ben couldn’t do enough knew his trade also Elaine on phone very lovely lady.
