Even close to Winter Hill, the early sets had valve tuners and the NF at the top end of Band 5 was poor, needed every bit of signal to get a snow free picture. Transistor tuners were a great improvement.
No doubt some could get by with the wrong aerial but we couldn’t from Winter Hill and it was line of sight.
In 1969 when all 3 stations were on UHF we usually fitted a new aerial with a new set.
