Satellite Dish Installation in Cowes
Cowes (Isle of Wight, pop. ~10k) takes its Freeview signal from the Rowridge mast, 11 km to the south-west. For satellite installation, tell us your postcode and your enquiry goes to the installer covering Cowes — one company, no lead auction.
Reception in Cowes
Cowes receives Freeview from the Rowridge transmitter , broadcasting on Group A with vertical polarisation at 200 kW.
Aerials here point SSW (bearing ~207°) toward the mast, 11 km away. At 11 km from the mast, signal in Cowes is strong — a standard 18-element yagi, often loft-mounted, is usually all that's needed.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Rowridge, installers working Cowes can often realign to Midhurst (46 km north-east) or Hannington (60 km north) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
One of only two UK main transmitters using dual horizontal+vertical polarisation. Serves South Coast from Southampton to Brighton.
