For those that are interested in UK/European UHF Antennas/Aerials.

I just had my UHF TV aerial changed, there was water in the cable. it was one like the one below. It was wideband channels 21-68. The new one is a log periodic UHF 21-60 like the one below. I live about 25 miles from the Sutton Coldfield transmitter. Each multiplex is output at 200kw, both new and old require a mast top amplifier and power supply in the house.

Interestingly, modern aerials use F-Connectors (like satellite TV) and not traditional aerial plugs or hard wired.

The old one was on a 10ft pole - the new one a less rattly 6ft...

Needless to say i get all eight Freeview Multiplex’s perfectly, almost £200 down... oh well.
