Any loft antennas, even in strong signal areas are likely to give poor
results. In poor signal areas, the roof attenuates the signal a
great deal, and in stronger areas the effect of reflected signals will
cause ghosting and general fuzziness on analogue transmissions and
high error rates leading to possible loss of picture on digital TV.

Any idea if the likes of this would be better at avoiding these pitfalls?

You would be far better off finding an installer who will fit a good
quality antenna snip

Yeah... know what you mean

He should also have the correct equipment to align the antenna for
optimum results - which does not necessarily mean strongest signal.

The nearest i`ve ever known an installer around here do as far as
alignment is concerned is to point the thing in the same general
direction as everyone elses :-}

Thanks for the reply !
