Some roof materials block the signal. I tried a VHR aerial in my loft
and off a 5 element got worse signal than bits or wire in the house.

I woudl wonder what happens to an aerial in two years. I would expect
a new aerial and cable to last 5 years unless serious wind/weather.
Bag them under sale of good compalin loudly that goods not fit for
purpose if breakdown in that time.


If your signal is very good try a set top aerial.

We`ve had to have our aerial re-done twice in the last couple of years -
and of course, the "warranty" these places offer never seems to be enough
to get them back when the picture goes... Either that, or you were never
given a receipt / can`t find it etc.

I was thinking about changing tactics and fitting a loft aerial that I
can fit / adjust myself, but i`m not sure whether I might need to
consider a higher spec aerial than might normally be required if it was
mounted outside.

Would the "top of the range" screwfix (ref 14374) @ £25 be overkill for
the Liverpool area ? (as far as I know, we have a decent signal here)

Any comments appreciated :-}
