TV aerial & Sky satellite installation services - ABINGDON
TV Reception Conditions
All of Abingdon town has good analogue and digital TV reception (and radio reception) except for the following patches. Firstly around Caldecott Road where the ground is low lying and there are trees along the river Ock blocking TV signals; another around Albert Park (Conduit Road etc.) again where trees cause a problem and finally near the centre of the town by St. Helen’s church where television signals are shielded by the large buildings in Abingdon town centre. eg. the Town Hall.
Apart from these areas, pretty well everywhere else in Abingdon, standard digital aerial installations work perfectly. In the trouble areas, it’s usually a case of a taller mast and perhaps pointing an aerial to the Hannington (Newbury) transmitter rather than the local Oxford transmitter. Our digital aerial installers are very experienced at assessing TV reception in the Abingdon area. Often an upgrade or aerial repair can be enough to allow digital TV to work.
Oxford Aerials provides Sky satellite installation service and is an approved Sky registered agent. We provide domestic and commercial tv aerial installation services. No job too big or small. Call 01865 400141 for a free quotation.

Local TV Reception Conditions
In the surrounding villages the story is similar, with most of the area being very good, with a standard digital television aerial installation delivering perfect reception but with there being one or two weak areas usually caused by trees blocking signals. The bad areas are Whitecross and Wootton which are largely blocked by Boars Hill; some of Kingston Bagpuize and Marcham and particularly Frilford and Tubney.
Both transmitters deliver the full range of analogue and digital TV signals to the whole Abingdon area, and there will be no further complications after the switchover in 2011.
In particularly bad reception areas where trees block signals from all directions, and there are a few around Abingdon, particularly the centre of Sutton Courtney, it is now often more economical to use the BBC / ITV Freesat service to get free digital broadcasts from a satellite installation which do not suffer the same tree interference. Our aerial installers are also trained satellite TV installers so can often offer a solution from a dish installation.
