They were all those little UHF yagis after VHF was gone then, I was in UK before sky/cable and saw them everywhere. LOL.

Mind you the loft antenna doesn't seem to be working after a lightning strike a few weeks ago that tripped the main circuit breaker, blew the internet modem/wi-fi box, blew two landline phones, broke a paving slab in two & melted & burnt an out door string of lights. We also have cable TV & that wasn't affected. Can get glitchy terrestrial digital reception by putting a piece of wire in TV antenna socket so know the TV is OK. Will have to buy/scrounge some co-ax & rewire my antenna, when I can be bothered that is... |

It's just co-ax connected directly to the antenna, no balun. The co-ax is very old as I found it in father-in-laws garage about 20 years ago & don't know how long it'd been there for, I'll go & have a look in the loft to see if anything has come adrift.... I don't think I've ever seen a balun used over here, everyone just connects the co-ax to the antenna terminals, my FM antenna on the side of the house doesn't have a balun & works OK, the lightning didn't affect that...

As an aside - from watching old BBC programing, IIRC, they used EMI 2001s a lot. from this clip above, and Fawlty Towers, those cameras seemed to be bad at comet tailing in the red channel. Were they really any worse than other cameras of the era, or is just me?
