Communal Aerial Systems (IRS / MATV) in Colchester
Freeview in Colchester arrives from Sudbury, 14 km north-west of town, so most homes here run a K wideband-group aerial with horizontal polarisation. We match communal aerial systems jobs to the vetted company that actually covers Colchester.
Reception in Colchester
Colchester receives Freeview from the Sudbury transmitter , broadcasting on Group K wideband with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point NNW (bearing ~329°) toward the mast, 14 km away. At 14 km from the mast, signal in Colchester is strong — a standard 18-element yagi, often loft-mounted, is usually all that's needed.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Sudbury, installers working Colchester can often realign to Tacolneston (71 km north) or Sandy Heath (82 km west) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
Covers central/southern Suffolk and most of Essex including Ipswich, Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend and Clacton.
