[QUOTE="Sharkadder, post: 396465, member: 193449"] too be honest with you dude an aerial is an aerial, you arnt going to pick out extra up by getting a fully top of the range aerial its just not worth the money. I bought a roof aerial off ebay about 2years ago now for 99p, i think the postage was about £5.50 and it was wideband and digital ready. Aslong as the aerial says wideband you are ok, generally all aerials are wideband which arnt over 30 years old. All aerials manage to last a long time (otherwise you'd be seeing them being changed all the time) so an aerial like the 1 i bought off ebay would last me at least 20 years even though ive never used it yet, just kept it as a spare. Make sure you purchase a roof aerial and make sure it says wideband on it, next purchase some coaxal cable and some connectors and plug it in and you are away. Again theres no special type needed just normal coaxial cable from wilkos or wherever and some coaxial connectors. If you dont fancy setting it up yourself get somebody in to do it but as i say with roof aerials nowerdays they all tend to do the same thing, just mount it to your chimney, point it in right direction and you will be fine.
