TV Aerial Installation in Tameside
Freeview in Tameside arrives from Winter Hill, 33 km north-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 Tameside.
Reception in Tameside
Tameside receives Freeview from the Winter Hill transmitter , broadcasting on Group A wideband with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point WNW (bearing ~300°) toward the mast, 33 km away. At 33 km from the mast, most Tameside homes get reliable reception from a standard roof-mounted yagi.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Winter Hill, installers working Tameside can often realign to Saddleworth (8 km north-east) or Emley Moor (31 km north-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.
