Could you be more specific? I looked but could only see what appeared to
be
wide-band ones.

Loads of them there. Type 'aerials' into the search box, then follow the
'audio visual' category. For example, part number AP00764.

That's a televes group A at 21 quid or so plus VAT. I got a Televes
wideband one (need it in my area) a few months ago and it works well
despite being in a 'no Freeview' area!


Thanks for that end bit as well. I had "assumed" a better group aerial would
improve terrestrial and freeview reception. I note from your comments and
further investigation that this is often not the case, as the Freeview
signals are in a different band and that, for these ares (eg Oxford) a
wideband aerial is indicated. I presume (assuming this is the case) that a
wideband aerial such as the one you purchased is "better" than one that you
might get in B&Q?

Cheers,
