TV Aerial Installation in Gateshead
In Gateshead, TV aerials point south-west to the Pontop Pike transmitter, 14 km away — Group K, vertical polarisation. We route TV aerial installation enquiries here to the one vetted installation company covering NE postcodes.
Reception in Gateshead
Gateshead receives Freeview from the Pontop Pike transmitter , broadcasting on Group K with vertical polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point SW (bearing ~229°) toward the mast, 14 km away. At 14 km from the mast, signal in Gateshead is strong — a standard 18-element yagi, often loft-mounted, is usually all that's needed.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Pontop Pike, installers working Gateshead can often realign to Fenham (6 km north-west) or Bilsdale (72 km south-east) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
Covers Tyne and Wear, County Durham, Tees Valley and most of Northumberland. Newcastle, Durham, Sunderland.
