Satellite Dish Installation in Hillsborough
Freeview in Hillsborough arrives from Divis, 17 km north of town, so most homes here run a K-group aerial with horizontal polarisation. We match satellite installation jobs to the vetted company that actually covers Hillsborough.
Reception in Hillsborough
Hillsborough receives Freeview from the Divis transmitter , broadcasting on Group K with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point NNE (bearing ~17°) toward the mast, 17 km away. At 17 km from the mast, most Hillsborough homes get reliable reception from a standard roof-mounted yagi.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Divis, installers working Hillsborough can often realign to Knockmore (5 km north) or Limavady (88 km north-west) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
Primary UHF/FM main transmitter for Northern Ireland. Belfast, County Antrim and parts of County Down.
