Freesat Installation in Birmingham

Reception in Birmingham
Birmingham receives Freeview from the Sutton Coldfield transmitter , broadcasting on Group B with horizontal polarisation at 200 kW.
Aerials here point NNE (bearing ~17°) toward the mast, 13 km away. At 13 km from the mast, signal in Birmingham is strong — a standard 18-element yagi, often loft-mounted, is usually all that's needed.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Sutton Coldfield, installers working Birmingham can often realign to The Wrekin (49 km north-west) or Ridge Hill (70 km south-west) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
Third most important UK transmitter by population. Coverage extends Chipping Norton (Oxon) to Stoke-on-Trent.
