Is it possible to get better reception with a very good loft aerial
than with a crappy old small aerial mounted on the chimney stack? I
know that a very good aerial on the chimney stack would be better
still, but I would like to do it myself so only the loft would be
practicable.


Depends where you are. If you're just over the road from Crystal Palace
a bent paper clip will probably work. If a deep valley in the wilds of
the Highlands, nothing will help!

A postcode checker was mentioned earlier in this thread.

But for some people that is very uncertain. Although living near a
transmitter, its transmissions go over our heads! Hence analogue
reception is terrible. No idea if that will change at all when digital
is installed there - whether at reduced or full power.

Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
