Freesat Installation in Oldham
In Oldham, TV aerials point west to the Winter Hill transmitter, 28 km away — Group A wideband, horizontal polarisation. We route freesat installation enquiries here to the one vetted installation company covering OL postcodes.
Reception in Oldham
Oldham receives Freeview from the Winter Hill transmitter , broadcasting on Group A wideband with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point WNW (bearing ~290°) toward the mast, 28 km away. At 28 km from the mast, most Oldham homes get reliable reception from a standard roof-mounted yagi.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Winter Hill, installers working Oldham can often realign to Saddleworth (6 km east) or Emley Moor (31 km east) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
Second most important UK transmitter. Highest TV transmitting antenna in the UK at 778m above sea level.
