TV Aerial Installation in Shaftesbury
Freeview in Shaftesbury arrives from Rowridge, 69 km south-east of town, so most homes here run a A-group aerial with vertical polarisation. We match TV aerial installation jobs to the vetted company that actually covers Shaftesbury.
Reception in Shaftesbury
Shaftesbury receives Freeview from the Rowridge transmitter , broadcasting on Group A with vertical polarisation at 200 kW.
Aerials here point ESE (bearing ~122°) toward the mast, 69 km away. At 69 km, Shaftesbury 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 Rowridge, installers working Shaftesbury can often realign to Mendip (40 km north-west) or Stockland Hill (67 km west) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
One of only two UK main transmitters using dual horizontal+vertical polarisation. Serves South Coast from Southampton to Brighton.
