Freeview Installation in Salford
Salford (Greater Manchester, pop. ~270k) takes its Freeview signal from the Winter Hill mast, 21 km to the north-west. For freeview installation, tell us your postcode and your enquiry goes to the installer covering Salford — one company, no lead auction.
Reception in Salford
Salford receives Freeview from the Winter Hill transmitter , broadcasting on Group A wideband with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point NW (bearing ~316°) toward the mast, 21 km away. At 21 km from the mast, most Salford homes get reliable reception from a standard roof-mounted yagi.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Winter Hill, installers working Salford can often realign to Saddleworth (18 km east) or Emley Moor (44 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.
