Local reception knowledge
Newbury is less than ten miles from the Hannington transmitter, so most of the town and Thatcham get a strong signal with every Freeview channel and BBC South and ITV Meridian news. Close to a mast, the problem can be too much signal rather than too little: old amplifiers can overload TVs, and removing one sometimes fixes the picture.
Out in the North Wessex Downs it’s a different story. Villages in the Lambourn and Kennet valleys, and homes tucked behind the hills, can be shadowed from Hannington. We test the signal first, and where an aerial can’t do the job, Freesat gives you the main channels in HD with no monthly bill.
Lambourn’s racing yards, farms and rural businesses often need TV in more than one building. We run cable or install separate aerials and dishes for tack rooms, staff accommodation and offices.

Newbury & the surrounding area
New estates at Greenham, Sandleford and around Thatcham often come with a single builder’s aerial and one TV socket. We add points to bedrooms and garden rooms, and upgrade the aerial where needed. In Hungerford and Kintbury, older cottages and canal-side homes need neat cable runs and discreet aerial positions.
We cover Newbury and the surrounding villages across RG14, RG18, RG19, RG20 and RG17. Give us your full postcode when you call and we’ll confirm the visit.

Too much signal can be as bad as too little. An old amplifier or the wrong aerial can overload your TV. We measure the signal and remove or replace whatever is causing it.
