Hi I live in nn4 9sz my aerial points north west my signal is good and picture good I just need to know where my signal comes from Sutton or sandy Heath ? As sandy Heath goes full power in march and would I be better pointing my aerial the other way thanks

The reason for the aerials pointing northwest is due to i am at the bottom of a hill and would need a 40 foot pole the look over it one half of the street points to sutton and the other half go to sandy i think and some point completly the opposite way to mine which baffles me
Northampton is not a very good area for reception low lying and a huge express lift concrete tower messed up the analogue signal
I dont have a pronlem getting any of the channels some lower down break up for a second every couple of hours but nothing worse

Sutton Coldfield (Birmingham, England) Full Freeview transmitte

Hey if my aerial is pointing north west picking up Sutton coldfield which way would I have to point it to pick up the main sandy Heath transmitter ? I'm currently at nn49sz and after a little research believe I'm on the fringe of both but due to location Sutton is easier to point at and although it's a fair distance away I think I can get a clear line of site to it as I live on the edge of Northampton
We also have a smaller transmitter near
to the town which is part of the sandy Heath group but I can't access it as I'm wrong side of hill hence I need to know where to point to main sandy Heath transmitter ? Thanks
I also have a wideband aerial I think tri boom with an amplifier
