Satellite Dish Installation in Portsmouth
Portsmouth (Hampshire, pop. ~208k) takes its Freeview signal from the Rowridge mast, 25 km to the south-west. For satellite installation, tell us your postcode and your enquiry goes to the installer covering Portsmouth — one company, no lead auction.
Reception in Portsmouth
Portsmouth receives Freeview from the Rowridge transmitter , broadcasting on Group A with vertical polarisation at 200 kW.
Aerials here point SW (bearing ~231°) toward the mast, 25 km away. At 25 km from the mast, most Portsmouth homes get reliable reception from a standard roof-mounted yagi.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Rowridge, installers working Portsmouth can often realign to Midhurst (31 km north-east) or Hannington (55 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.
