Communal Aerial Systems (IRS / MATV) in Trafford
Freeview in Trafford arrives from Winter Hill, 25 km north-west of town, so most homes here run a A wideband-group aerial with horizontal polarisation. We match communal aerial systems jobs to the vetted company that actually covers Trafford.
Reception in Trafford
Trafford receives Freeview from the Winter Hill transmitter , broadcasting on Group A wideband with horizontal polarisation at 100 kW.
Aerials here point NNW (bearing ~330°) toward the mast, 25 km away. At 25 km from the mast, most Trafford homes get reliable reception from a standard roof-mounted yagi.
Where terrain or buildings shadow Winter Hill, installers working Trafford can often realign to Saddleworth (23 km north-east) or Emley Moor (48 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.
