Hey im in navan and have 2 ariels on roof, dont think you'll get them around here anymore besides there going digital soon'ish best bet is to ring electroplus just off old naas road beside woodies and they'll put you on track they have show room so you could have a look aswell, they sell dtt ariel's but its not kicked off properly yet .Ask for john or barry, hope this helps.

There are three electric suppliers in mullaghboy Industrial Estate in Navan
Wesco, Electric Murchents and one other.
They all sell Ariels.

I live outside Navan and bought mine in Electric Merchants. Installed it in the Attic.
I recevie all Irish channels Crystal clear as well as UK channels which are watchable.
But I usualy use freesat For UK TV anyway.

The one I bought is an 80 element Ariel with mast head amp.
It covers most of the spectrum from Channel 21 to 68 I think.

It works fine for digital and Analog Reception (of Irish TV).
