Heathfield transmitting station

The Heathfield transmitting station is a facility for FM and television transmission at Heathfield, East Sussex, UK. Opened in 1969, its antenna mast is a tall guyed structure, giving the transmitter a height of 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 experiences 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.
The transmitter broadcasts television and radio services to East Sussex and parts of West Sussex. This includes towns such as Hastings, Eastbourne, Bexhill, St Leonards-on-Sea, Heathfield, Lewes, Uckfield, Seaford, Newhaven, Peacehaven, Crowborough, Hailsham, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and East Grinstead.
Along with Bluebell Hill, Dover and Whitehawk Hill, Heathfield transmits regional television services from BBC One South East and ITV Meridian.
Heathfield has 13 local relays: Bexhill, Ham Street, Haywards Heath, Hollington Park, East Dean, Eastbourne, Eastbourne, Lamberhurst, Lewes, Mountfield, Newhaven, Sedlescombe and Wye.
