"Telly Trouble"

[Mike Reed]

As several have commented, I think we need to spend 2 or 3 hundred to get decent aerial on the roof.

If you do, add a decent FM aerial for the tuner; you know it makes sense

I've got two UHF and two VHF aerials in my loft space and they work well.

Obv. big enough to hold a reception party, Mike! That's a lot of antennae in one loft space !

Depending on signal strength you might be able to install an aerial in your loft. It's pretty much a DIY job and it's protected from the weather. I've got two UHF and two VHF aerials in my loft space and they work well.

Me too - handy for hanging the Christmas decorations on when not in use

I have one on an old Australian TV that only picks up limited UK channels, and it works very well.

The basic Roku is brilliant and excellent value. I bought one for a friend who has an old dumb TV and no aerial but she does have a broadband connection. It's more than adequate for Freeview stuff.

Not really that big Mike. It's just a plain rectangular late 1970s four bed house. The aerials themselves are quite small - ie not large high-gain jobbies - as I have line of sight to our local relay transmitter about 2 miles down the road. The only exception is the 8 element VHF aerial pointing at France which just lies on the floor for me to trip over.
