Pointing at it

Rods lying flat (it broadcasts horizontally), a group A or wideband aerial, channels 22, 23, 25, 26, 28, 30, and 35 for London’s local channel. Which way from your postcode

Is it the aerial, the TV or the cable?

Rods standing upright?

Your aerial may be pointed at a smaller relay transmitter; relays usually carry only the multiplexes with BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. Freeview’s checker shows which one serves your address.

Still no picture? We’ll sort it

The direction is only part of it: a loose cable or a faulty booster can cut the picture too. An engineer tests the signal at your home with a meter and puts it right.

Crystal Palace transmitter questions

Where is the Crystal Palace transmitter?

On a hill in Crystal Palace, south London, in the London Borough of Bromley; the mast is over 200 m tall. It is London’s main TV transmitter, run by Arqiva, and serves Greater London and parts of the Home Counties.

Why have my Freeview channels gone today?

It may be planned work on the transmitter: check Freeview’s weekly list. During the work, don’t retune: the channels come back when it ends. If a neighbour’s TV is fine, the fault is more likely your aerial, its cable or the TV.

What aerial do I need for Crystal Palace?

A group A or wideband aerial, with the rods lying flat: Crystal Palace broadcasts horizontally. Our transmitter checker gives the direction from your postcode.

Which channels does Crystal Palace use?

UHF channels 22, 23, 25, 26, 28 and 30 for the national Freeview multiplexes, and 35 for London’s local channel.

Did the 700 MHz changes affect Crystal Palace?

Those changes finished in 2020. The Crystal Palace main transmitter’s six national multiplexes kept their channels.

Should I retune?

Only once any planned work has finished. Then, on each TV: Menu, Set-up, First-time installation, OK (Freeview’s steps). If channels are still missing after a retune, an engineer can find the fault and fix it.
