    Hi all,
    Just about to undertake the installation of this type of dtv aerial http://satworld.ie/avactis-images/Antiference-RX12-WIDEBAND.jpg and only noticed that there is no fixing included to fit it to the arm of a wall bracket. Can these be bought separately or are they just drilled in two places to take a u bolt to fix it to the bracket arm?
    Can anybody recommend a particular type of wall bracket (either online or B&M as it wont be going up til next weekend)
    Our existing aerial is disconnected on the chimney and dont fancy going up there to fit it so will be wall mounting next to our minidish. It should have line of sight from the proposed position to the transmitter.
    (Had a search but couldnt find anything in here already.)

    I think you can buy those separately can't remember what they are called though. If you bought that exact aerial it comes with one in the pack (have the exact one myself)

    you can buy a sort of balcony clamp to mount onto the sky dish arm and mount the aerial (can see it in satworld cant find it online)

    or just a cheap wall bracket will do like sky or a small steel one

    If you are 100% certain you have line of sight to the nearest transmitter then any wall bracket will do. If it needs to go on a chimney then a lashing kit rather than a wall mounting kit is best.,

    I would have thought that aerial would come with a U bolt to mount to a pole.
