aerial for reception in the South Manchester area.

Try using the UK analogue TV reception predictor on www.wolfbane.co.uk.
Not only will it give you the information you ask but calculate the
bearing to the transmitter so you can point the beam.

For example, from Manchester Airport the nearest HTV transmitter is:
Moel-y-Parc Group B, Horizontal, 44 miles at 258 degrees.

I know it will be a fairly weak signal, but I have promised my wife to get
this prog. for her, and I am just about to install the aerial.
I would appreciate any good advice.

aerial for reception in the South Manchester area.

Do you mean Moel-y-parc? If so S4C is on ch 42 so you need a Gp aerial. The
polarity is horizontal. Can you receive this signal in Manchester? Whay not use
satellite?

On the subject of television interference, there can be no doubt that the most
effective solution is the one that prevents the interference from ever
occurring.

Moel y Parc does put a good signal into parts of Machester (ch42
horizontal), but you will need an aerial with a good front/back ratio to
avoid co-channel interfernce from Saddleworth.
