Communal Aerial Systems (IRS / MATV) in Islington

Reception in Islington
Islington receives Freeview from the Crystal Palace transmitter , broadcasting on Group T with horizontal polarisation at 200 kW.
Aerials here point S (bearing ~173°) toward the mast, 13 km away. At 13 km from the mast, signal in Islington 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 Islington can often realign to Reigate (34 km south) or Guildford (46 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.
