Satellite Dish Installation in Sandown
Freeview in Sandown arrives from Rowridge, 15 km west of town, so most homes here run a A-group aerial with vertical polarisation. We match satellite installation jobs to the vetted company that actually covers Sandown.
Reception in Sandown
Sandown receives Freeview from the Rowridge transmitter , broadcasting on Group A with vertical polarisation at 200 kW.
Aerials here point W (bearing ~279°) toward the mast, 15 km away. At 15 km from the mast, most Sandown homes get reliable reception from a standard roof-mounted yagi.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Rowridge, installers working Sandown can often realign to Midhurst (46 km north-east) or Hannington (73 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.
