Freeview Installation in Preston

Preston (Lancashire, pop. ~148k) takes its Freeview signal from the Winter Hill mast, 20 km to the south-east. For freeview installation, tell us your postcode and your enquiry goes to the installer covering Preston — one company, no lead auction.

Reception in Preston

Preston receives Freeview from the Winter Hill transmitter , broadcasting on Group A wideband with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.

Aerials here point SE (bearing ~141°) toward the mast, 20 km away. At 20 km from the mast, most Preston homes get reliable reception from a standard roof-mounted yagi.

Where terrain or buildings shadow Winter Hill, installers working Preston can often realign to Saddleworth (51 km south-east) or Emley Moor (70 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.
