Communal Aerial Systems (IRS / MATV) in St Helens

Reception in St Helens
St Helens receives Freeview from the Winter Hill transmitter , broadcasting on Group A wideband with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point NE (bearing ~38°) toward the mast, 24 km away. At 24 km from the mast, most St Helens homes get reliable reception from a standard roof-mounted yagi.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Winter Hill, installers working St Helens can often realign to Moel y Parc (46 km south-west) or Saddleworth (48 km 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.
