Satellite Dish Installation in Stranraer
Freeview in Stranraer arrives from Caldbeck, 122 km east 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 Stranraer.
Reception in Stranraer
Stranraer receives Freeview from the Caldbeck transmitter , broadcasting on Group K with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point E (bearing ~97°) toward the mast, 122 km away. At 122 km, Stranraer 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 Caldbeck, installers working Stranraer can often realign to Divis (71 km south-west) or Knockmore (81 km south-west) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
