    Here in the North West of England, the Winter Hill transmitter recently changed from type C/D (mostly) to requiring a Wideband aerial. There is a particular issue with the SDN MUX on Channel 29.

    They had a new aerial installed a couple of years ago, but is it possible to tell what type it is from this photo? Is it Wideband?

    Many Thanks.

    The aerial imo is not wideband - See ofcom's explanation here https://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and-on-demand/advice-for-consumers/television/wideband-aerials

    Thanks very much. It’s a pain that they didn’t fit a wideband aerial at the time, when they presumably knew these changes were coming.

    The aerials in your photo are the 'contract' type, & there are widebands of this type available.

    I can't tell what those in your photo are, but they should probably be further apart, & mightn't be the best quality either.

    Would it be the case that if it were a wideband aerial that it is pre 4G and would therefore be susceptible to interference?
