Satellite Dish Installation in Thatcham
Freeview in Thatcham arrives from Hannington, 11 km south of town, so most homes here run a E-group aerial with horizontal polarisation. We match satellite installation jobs to the vetted company that actually covers Thatcham.
Reception in Thatcham
Thatcham receives Freeview from the Hannington transmitter , broadcasting on Group E with horizontal polarisation at 50 kW.
Aerials here point S (bearing ~173°) toward the mast, 11 km away. At 11 km from the mast, signal in Thatcham is strong — a standard 18-element yagi, often loft-mounted, is usually all that's needed.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Hannington, installers working Thatcham can often realign to Oxford (43 km north) or Guildford (53 km east) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
