Satellite Dish Installation in Oban
In Oban, TV aerials point south-east to the Black Hill transmitter, 117 km away — Group K, horizontal polarisation. We route satellite installation enquiries here to the one vetted installation company covering PA postcodes.
Reception in Oban
Oban receives Freeview from the Black Hill transmitter , broadcasting on Group K with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point ESE (bearing ~121°) toward the mast, 117 km away. At 117 km, Oban sits toward the fringe of coverage — installers usually fit a high-gain aerial on a raised mast here, and will meter the signal before quoting.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Black Hill, installers working Oban can often realign to Darvel (115 km south-east) or Craigkelly (143 km east) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
Covers central Scotland including Edinburgh and Glasgow. Fifth largest UK transmitter by population covered.
