    Maplin while generally good tend to be hopeless for Irish specific products such as Telephone gear or band 3 aerials/TV's

    Im not sure how well a DAB aerial will work for TV. Some of them may be only designed for 217-230 MHz rather than the full 174-230 MHz band

    Also Maplins Irish branches seem to be a lot more expensive than their UK stores (even accounting for currency/VAT differences)

    What's your proximity to Truskmore, gipo?

    The LP7 is pretty good indeed. THough depending on the signal in your area, you don't want too much signal either which would swamp the TV tuner or distribution amp.
