Communal Aerial Systems (IRS / MATV) in Carlisle
Carlisle (Cumbria, pop. ~78k) takes its Freeview signal from the Caldbeck mast, 21 km to the south-west. For communal aerial systems, tell us your postcode and your enquiry goes to the installer covering Carlisle — one company, no lead auction.
Reception in Carlisle
Carlisle receives Freeview from the Caldbeck transmitter , broadcasting on Group K with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point SW (bearing ~220°) toward the mast, 21 km away. At 21 km from the mast, most Carlisle homes get reliable reception from a standard roof-mounted yagi.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Caldbeck, installers working Carlisle can often realign to Selkirk (74 km north) or Pontop Pike (74 km east) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
Took over TV duties from Sandale post digital switchover. Serves Cumbria, Lake District, eastern Dumfries and Galloway.
