Hi
Does anyone know of an easy to use website where you can put either an address or postcode and it will tell you which way up to put your aerial. in some of the poorer areas its bad enough trying to get any type of signal to tune your telly in without having to worry about polarity. -- TIA Ian B Please reply to NG Anti Spam applied |

some of the poorer areas its bad enough trying to get any type of signal to tune your telly in without having to worry about polarity. There's a simple three stage procedure for obtaining the correct polarity. 1. Try it with the aerial horizontal. 2. Try it with the aerial vertical. 3. Decide which is best and use that one. Bill |

Hi Ian,
Try http://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/trans...ns/index.shmtl which gives all tranmitters in UK (and gives both horizontal and vertical polarization for each transmitter). Hope this helps D.J.
