Having recently moved to Thanet in Kent I've noticed how rubbish my
TV reception has become with a few Freeview channels now

entirely convinced that this is solely an aerial issue. The aerial is in
the
attic rather than on the roof which I guess doesn't help but it
seems a decent size and not abnormally small.

Does anyone whether the reception in this area of the country is
just crap and is there much I can do short of getting a new bigger
aerial installed on the roof?

I'm in Ramsgate and we have a new "digital" aerial in the loft,
facing roughly South. It runs through a booster, although I don't
know if it really has to as the booster was just there from the
previous aerial so I re-used it. Excellent picture.

My niece lives near Ramsgate town though, which is significantly
lower than where I am, and her reception isn't fantastic but her
aerial's in the loft too. I'd imagine you should get a good signal
anywhere with a decent outdoor aerial.

Ask your neighbours what their reception is like.

Why would I care what the neighbours' tv reception is like?

Well its a good comparison to what your getting..

As a onetime manager of a TV shop I can tell you that the biggest
problems we ever had were with bloody loft aerials and lost many a
customer who didn't believe us.

Then we made it a rule that no TV would be supplied on anything other
then an outside aerial most all of the usual problems disappeared and we
then developed a reputation for the place that did the best TV
piccys)..

nothing quite like customers recommending you to others!..
