[QUOTE="allan238, post: 155997, member: 175175"] For health reasons I had to move to a Bungalow and in the process lost satellite and Terrestial television. Property is in bit of a dip and quite a few trees doesn't help matters. To make things worse I have a Pioneer Plasma with built in Freeview.:-DOH! However I brought the old roof top digital aeriel with me (one lives in hope) It is on a six foot pole and after being attached to the wall the top of the aeriel is about eleven feet from the ground.:( Terrestial TV is attrocious and freeview gives me all BBC channels and a reasonable channel five.......no ITV channels whatsoever. My question is, if I can get hold of a twelve foot pole would the extra six feet improve my reception chances? Would a mast amplifier help? This is reputed to be a good signal area, though I don't think any of my other elderly neighbours bother with digital.....they don't seem to be enthusiasts like us. More flowerpot gardening and zimmer frame races.:D I have to be careful what I do, too many local ordinances to worry about. Appreciate any helpful comments [/QUOTE]
