Communal Aerial Systems (IRS / MATV) in Runcorn

Reception in Runcorn
Runcorn receives Freeview from the Winter Hill transmitter , broadcasting on Group A wideband with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point NNE (bearing ~24°) toward the mast, 35 km away. At 35 km from the mast, most Runcorn homes get reliable reception from a standard roof-mounted yagi.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Winter Hill, installers working Runcorn can often realign to Moel y Parc (41 km west) or Saddleworth (52 km north-east) — a decision made with a signal meter on the roof, not guesswork.
Second most important UK transmitter. Highest TV transmitting antenna in the UK at 778m above sea level.
