TV aerials in Upper Norwood and Crystal Palace
Upper Norwood is home to the Crystal Palace mast itself. Getting a good picture here is less about finding signal and more about taming it.

Living under the Crystal Palace mast
Upper Norwood gets its Freeview from Crystal Palace in south London, less than a mile away to the north-east, which is why local TVs carry BBC London and ITV London news.
The Crystal Palace mast stands 219 metres tall and sends Freeview to most of London. Right underneath it, the signal is so strong that TVs can overload. Amplifiers often need to come out, and a small aerial, or even a loft aerial, gives the best result.
Picture breaking up? Call020 8226 4596Upper Norwood TV fault finder
Pick the problem you're seeing. We'll show you what usually causes it, and where in the house the fault tends to be.
“No signal” on every channel
- Usual cause
- The cable has come loose or been damaged, the aerial amplifier in the loft has failed, or wind has knocked the aerial out of line.
- What we do
- We check the connections and amplifier, then realign or replace the aerial.
Picture breaks up or freezes, worse in wind or rain
- Usual cause
- Corroded connectors, water in the cable, or a loose aerial or bracket moving in the wind.
- What we do
- New cable and weatherproof connectors, and the aerial re-secured.
Some channels missing after a retune
- Usual cause
- The signal is weak on certain frequencies, often from an old aerial or one pointing at the wrong transmitter.
- What we do
- We measure each multiplex, then realign or fit a suitable wideband aerial.
Sky or Freesat says there's no satellite signal
- Usual cause
- The dish has moved in the wind, the LNB on the arm has failed, or the cable is damaged. Very heavy rain can cause it for a short time.
- What we do
- We realign the dish and replace the LNB or cable if needed.
Works in one room but not another
- Usual cause
- A faulty wall plate, a splitter in the loft, or the cable to that room.
- What we do
- We trace the extra point and repair or rewire it.

Upper Norwood questions
If yours isn't here, call or WhatsApp us. We're happy to give advice for free.
Why does my TV freeze when the mast is so close?
Too much signal overloads the TV tuner, much as too little does. We measure it and remove amplifiers or fit an attenuator to bring the level down.
Do I need a roof aerial here?
Rarely. Most Upper Norwood homes get a perfect picture from a small loft aerial, or even an indoor one, because the mast is so close.
Can you fit Sky near the park?
Yes. We check for trees in the way and fit the dish where it has a clear view.
Can every flat in an Upper Norwood converted villa get its own TV feed?
Yes. We fit one aerial with a multi-output amplifier and run a separate cable to each flat, so a fault in one flat does not affect the others.
Can you mount a TV in a Victorian villa near Crystal Palace Park?
Yes. High ceilings and tall walls give plenty of choice. We fix into brick, set the screen at a comfortable height and hide the cables behind the plaster.
Do Church Road shops and cafés need a special TV setup?
Not usually, as the signal is very strong here. We mount the screen, fit a short aerial or a feed from the building and set it up for sport or menus.
Not sure what you need?
Send us a photo of your aerial, dish or the message on your TV screen. We can often tell you what's wrong and roughly what it'll cost.
