I didn't know there was an 'omni-directional' freeview aerial.

read the thread and look at the photos.

The elderly neighbours have an external aerial on quite a high
external pole so they presumably cannot be in a strong signal
area.


Have a look at the manufacturer's page:

https://www.philex.com/products/prod...l-tv-aerial-2/


And in particular, try clicking the "specifications" and then, the "Call
Our Sales Department" or "Technical Support" links. That'll tell you
something.

Note the claims that it is

"High gain €“ suitable for weak signal areas"

and

"Receives all locally available digital TV signals"

and

"suitable for most signal strength areas"

OK OK, we get it !

Note that "according to Amazon, it is omnidirectional, then the high
gain refers to an amplifier? Hence the power supply

If it is omnidirectional why the triangular marker on the "dome"

How does it recognise the polarity?


Possible that the amplifier in the antenna is oscillating and interfering with the neighbors antenna.
