Heathfield transmitting station
The Heathfield transmitting station is a facility for FM and television transmission at Heathfield, East Sussex, UK. Opened in 1969 it uses as its antenna mast a tall guyed structure, giving average transmitter height above sea level. A Group B horizontally polarised aerial is required to receive digital TV signals. The original analogue signals were in the Group C/D band, but all the digital MUXES should still be receivable on a C/D group aerial in reasonable signal areas.
The station's coverage area suffers from co-channel interference problems, particularly to the south, not only with Brighton but with the continent as well. It is owned and operated by Arqiva.
Along with Dover, Bluebell Hill and Brighton Whitehawk Hill, Heathfield transmits regional television services from BBC One South East and ITV Meridian.Services listed by frequency
