Dr. Antenna setup outdoor antenna

I have called Dr. Antenna, he came on time and he setup the antenna for me, and I was able to get 43 channels.

He came on time and he is really good at what he does. He even replaced the Roger cable that I have had because it was an old cable.

I am really happy with the final result

Fixing poor reception for TV

After reading the reviews for Dr. Antenna on HomeStars I phoned Chris and described my problem with our existing antenna. Chris was on another job however he was very patient as I described the problem and told me he would phone later in the day with some suggestions. True to his word he not only phoned but asked if he could stop at the house and look at the antenna. Within half an hour he solved the problem and checked the installation of the existing antenna too. I was very happy with his skills and knowledge in diagnosing the situation so quickly. I highly recommend Dr. Antenna if you want to deal with an honest, skilled professional and just a really nice guy.
Thank you Chris

Truly excellent for antennas

I join all the others with the highest praise for Chris both for technical skill as well as cordial working relationship. Great work for both my TV-HD and FM antennas. (I am very knowledgable about antennas... but don't like heights!).

OTA Antennae Installation

The Doctor did a great job. Took around an hour (my install was pretty straight forward) and I am very very happy. I had an indoor antennae already in use but it was on the inside of the 3rd floor. I was getting all the Canadian local channels and some of the Buffalo stations on most days. Now with the antennae on the roof, I am getting 4 bars (out of 5) on PBS, NBC, MyTV, GetTV etc. all the time.

Fix previous installation HD Antenna

this guy came in and saved my set up, he is amazing and i would defiantly hire him again....i had hired another company to come in and install an HD antenna, they charged me over 1,000 to install 2 clear stream CV2 antennas, and after done i got 20 channels...so i was happy, but i was not sure because they did not ground my antennas, the y mounted them just on my roof near the edge, and i saw they pointed them in the wrong direction, i called them to come and look and they said just get a ladder and go up...
well, i called Dr Antenna, wish i did the first time, he came out, moved my antenna to the peek of my roof (other guys did not want to get on the roof), found out i only needed ONE antenna, and now i get 32 channels...WOW, this guys is really the Dr, he was way more experienced, and knew exactly what to do, and his price was way better than these other guys who gouged me and would not come back to fix it...
Dr Antenna is top notch and provides solid work at a very reasonable price!

Antenna Installation

Chris is pretty tech savvy. I pictured texted him an image of my roof from my driveway and he texted me back the estimate.

Once I made my decision to go with Chris, he scheduled the installation for 3 days later.

What I liked about Chris is that he assessed my roof and decided that he could do it without help, and so decided not to get an aide for the installation.

After the installation, we got around 30-40 channels, including some Buffalo stations. Overall, pretty happy with what we got for the price we got it.

TV Antenna Tower Removal

​I had very old TV antenna tower and it is so harmful to my house, especially the roof. Chris arrived on time and finished the work in 30 minutes. He said it is more than 50 years old. So fast! I strongly recommend Dr. Antenna, Chris.

OTA antenna installation

I had an Over-the-Air antenna installed a couple of years ago by a company that's since disappeared. It stopped working. I called Chris to check it out, thinking it would just need a repair. However, there were issues with the installation (it was a poorly executed chimney mount, plus heat from the chimney would always impact the hardware). Chris came up with an innovative solution for resolving the issue (mounting it on my flat roof, since I didn't want the pole installed on the top ridge of my newly shingled roof). He was very friendly, easy to deal with, was very reasonable on price.

Antenna Instaliation

I called Chris. He was very friendly. He came on time. Took down the antenna I had bought, installed a way better antenna. I went from 9 channels to 24. He went up and down the ladder so many times to make sure I got the best reception. And the price was very fair and honest, compared to other companies who wanted at least twice or three times as much money to do the same job. I highly recommend chirs. His job was very professional and he did a amazing job.

More about Dr. Antenna

Can you believe Doctor Antenna has been around for fifteen years? I can't!
What I can believe is I must be doing something right. This year alone I have had at least seven people re use my service on the new houses they purchased. I can't even begin to count how many people have referred me to their friends and families.
***
When you call Doctor Antenna, I am proud to admit that you deal with me and only me. It's still a small company and I believe it's strength is derived from it's person-ability. As my ninety-two year old dad always said: "I'm the Chief Cook and Bottle Washer".
***
Another thing that surprises me every day is that so many people call me asking me to fix an antenna that was installed by someone else....why aren't they getting the original person to fix their own work? My take on that is that the other installer is not big on the after sales service, or they simply aren't in the Antenna Installation business any more!
***
At Doctor Antenna we (I) install, guarantee and fix my own work and apparently other people's work as well!!! I'll even go as far as giving you a guarantee on my repairs of other people's work! If I am putting my company's reputation on the line to fix other's mistakes, heck, I'll give you that guarantee and stand by my work.
***
And don't forget about Doctor Antenna's other services. We have been safely removing old TV Antenna Towers from both residential and commercial properties for ten years. Those old, out of date satellites that litter almost everyone's house, the huge old black satellite dishes that you find in peoples back yards and on top of old sports bars, never to be used again are all removed by Doctor Antenna.
​​***
More recently, Doctor Antenna has a new website called "starlinkinstallationtoronto.com" as our official site for Starlink Satellite Internet Installations.
In closing, Doctor Antenna will provide you with the best quality, insured, safe install your dollar can buy.

As I have said all along...."Tune Into the Logical Solution", let me be the next Doctor that makes a house call to your home.

Thank you again for your patronage to Doctor Antenna,

Christopher MacDonald, Founder, President and CEO​
