TV Aerial Installation in Accrington
Freeview in Accrington arrives from Winter Hill, 17 km south-west of town, so most homes here run a A wideband-group aerial with horizontal polarisation. We match TV aerial installation jobs to the vetted company that actually covers Accrington.
Reception in Accrington
Accrington receives Freeview from the Winter Hill transmitter , broadcasting on Group A wideband with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point SW (bearing ~215°) toward the mast, 17 km away. At 17 km from the mast, most Accrington homes get reliable reception from a standard roof-mounted yagi.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Winter Hill, installers working Accrington can often realign to Saddleworth (32 km south-east) or Emley Moor (49 km east) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
Second most important UK transmitter. Highest TV transmitting antenna in the UK at 778m above sea level.
