Communal Aerial Systems (IRS / MATV) in Basingstoke
In Basingstoke, TV aerials point south to the Rowridge transmitter, 69 km away — Group A, vertical polarisation. We route communal aerial systems enquiries here to the one vetted installation company covering RG postcodes.
Reception in Basingstoke
Basingstoke receives Freeview from the Rowridge transmitter , broadcasting on Group A with vertical polarisation at 200 kW.
Aerials here point SSW (bearing ~197°) toward the mast, 69 km away. At 69 km, Basingstoke sits toward the fringe of coverage — installers usually fit a high-gain aerial on a raised mast here, and will meter the signal before quoting.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Rowridge, installers working Basingstoke can often realign to Hannington (12 km north-west) or Guildford (37 km east) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
One of only two UK main transmitters using dual horizontal+vertical polarisation. Serves South Coast from Southampton to Brighton.
