TV Aerial Recommendation

JohnH1099

Hi,
I need to get the aerial replaced on the house fairly - as it's been there forever and there's bits hanging off it at this stage.

I never really thought about aerials before until the telly started to go fuzzy, now I see there's quite a lot to learn.

Can anyone give me a recommenation as to what I should look for or avoid?
Thanks in advance,
John

We will need more details on the array you have currently.

WHere are you based, and is there any chance of a description of the aerial you have? An image would be even better.

Aerials are dependant on location, transmitter you're receiving from, amongst other factors.

Ok, thanks for that.
I live in Howth, on the northside of the hill. The aerial is pointing roughly south/south east.
The aerial I currently have has a series of vertical bars and then there’s one long horizontal bar coming out of the middle.
I hope that helps a bit, I’ll try to take a picture later

That seems unusual for Howth... What is the shape of the aerial? Is it an arrow-like one or is it one almost like a fly swat?

Edit: The picture would be very useful allright.
