Freeview Installation in London
In London, TV aerials point south to the Crystal Palace transmitter, 10 km away — Group T, horizontal polarisation. We route freeview installation enquiries here to the one vetted installation company covering EC postcodes.
Reception in London
London receives Freeview from the Crystal Palace transmitter , broadcasting on Group T with horizontal polarisation at 200 kW.
Aerials here point SSE (bearing ~160°) toward the mast, 10 km away. At 10 km from the mast, signal in London is strong — a standard 18-element yagi, often loft-mounted, is usually all that's needed.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Crystal Palace, installers working London can often realign to Reigate (30 km south) or Guildford (42 km south-west) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
The most important transmitter in the UK by population covered. ~60 mile range across Greater London and Home Counties.
