Communal Aerial Systems (IRS / MATV) in Cardiff
Cardiff (Cardiff, pop. ~363k) takes its Freeview signal from the Wenvoe mast, 8 km to the west. For communal aerial systems, tell us your postcode and your enquiry goes to the installer covering Cardiff — one company, no lead auction.
Reception in Cardiff
Cardiff receives Freeview from the Wenvoe transmitter , broadcasting on Group K with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point WSW (bearing ~251°) toward the mast, 8 km away. At 8 km from the mast, signal in Cardiff is strong — a standard 18-element yagi, often loft-mounted, is usually all that's needed.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Wenvoe, installers working Cardiff can often realign to Mendip (47 km south-east) or Kilvey Hill (53 km west) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
Main transmitter for South Wales. Also serves parts of South West England across the Severn.
