Cable Forum - View Single Post - "Twin Aerial" installations: Do people still put them in?

A friend of mine has recently bought a home in Broughton, just on the Welsh/English border.

I've offered to help him install a TV aerial in the loft. Broughton is a pretty strong signal area for two (or even three) main transmitters, the two main ones being Moel-y-Parc and Winter Hill.

My question is, aside from Moel-y-Parc offering S4C as well as C4, and the two different BBC/ITV regions, is there any benefit to an old school "twin aerial" setup, with one aerial pointed at each mast? As far as I can tell the only differences are that Winter Hill carries the local manchester station.
