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 wasn`t sure how well they worked, hence the question about getting a
higher spec model - looking at the orientation of other aerials along the
terrace, it would almost be pointing at the brick divider between ours
and next doors` too, so i`m not sure how it would work out...

If I pick up a reel of co-ax I suppose I could always mount it at the
back of the house - probably wouldn`t look any worse than the redundant
satellite dish i`ve got sat there :-}

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.

Got no receipt from the last guy... its proving it... i`ve just had a
quick look and its fallen off the chimney completely

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

I think Winter Hill is about 30 miles away as the crow flies
