Communal Aerial Systems (IRS / MATV) in Southwark
Freeview in Southwark arrives from Crystal Palace, 9 km south of town, so most homes here run a T-group aerial with horizontal polarisation. We match communal aerial systems jobs to the vetted company that actually covers Southwark.
Reception in Southwark
Southwark receives Freeview from the Crystal Palace transmitter , broadcasting on Group T with horizontal polarisation at 200 kW.
Aerials here point S (bearing ~179°) toward the mast, 9 km away. At 9 km from the mast, signal in Southwark 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 Southwark can often realign to Reigate (31 km south) or Guildford (44 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.
