TV Aerial Installation in Blackburn
Freeview in Blackburn arrives from Winter Hill, 14 km south 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 Blackburn.
Reception in Blackburn
Blackburn receives Freeview from the Winter Hill transmitter , broadcasting on Group A wideband with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point S (bearing ~189°) toward the mast, 14 km away. At 14 km from the mast, signal in Blackburn is strong — a standard 18-element yagi, often loft-mounted, is usually all that's needed.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Winter Hill, installers working Blackburn can often realign to Saddleworth (38 km south-east) or Emley Moor (56 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.
