Satellite Dish Installation in Stornoway
Freeview in Stornoway arrives from Rosemarkie, 150 km south-east of town, so most homes here run a A-group aerial with horizontal polarisation. We match satellite installation jobs to the vetted company that actually covers Stornoway.
Reception in Stornoway
Stornoway receives Freeview from the Rosemarkie transmitter , broadcasting on Group A with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point ESE (bearing ~116°) toward the mast, 150 km away. At 150 km, Stornoway 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 Rosemarkie, installers working Stornoway can often realign to Keelylang Hill (210 km north-east) or Durris (273 km south-east) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
Main transmitter for the Highlands. Inverness, Black Isle, Moray Firth coast.
