Communal Aerial Systems (IRS / MATV) in Croydon
In Croydon, TV aerials point north to the Crystal Palace transmitter, 6 km away — Group T, horizontal polarisation. We route communal aerial systems enquiries here to the one vetted installation company covering CR postcodes.
Reception in Croydon
Croydon receives Freeview from the Crystal Palace transmitter , broadcasting on Group T with horizontal polarisation at 200 kW.
Aerials here point NNE (bearing ~14°) toward the mast, 6 km away. At 6 km from the mast, signal in Croydon is strong — a standard 18-element yagi, often loft-mounted, is usually all that's needed.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Crystal Palace, installers working Croydon can often realign to Reigate (17 km south-west) or Guildford (35 km south-west) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
The most important transmitter in the UK by population covered. ~60 mile range across Greater London and Home Counties.
