I use this one http://www.avtex.co.uk/antenna/sth1000.html has a booster which connects to your 12v too....
Others find that Caravan pole type aerials work well....

Re: tv aerial
Also got the Avtex and it's a good bit of kit for the size.
Re: tv aerial
Ive seen the avtex in use.......excellent
Ive also seen this one,and as a result its now the one I use.
Also excellent,and much cheaper and no screws/brackets reqd,the base is a very powerfull magnet

I use the same one,I also use an angled plate that screws into one of the front holes in the roof,when the roof is raised it gives a bit more height.Bongoplod wrote:Ive seen the avtex in use.......excellent

It does have a powerful magnet.
The problem with reception depends on where the transmitter is and where you are.

Re: tv aerial
I've heard good reports of the Avtex, but I found the Maplins one to be useless, except in strong signal areas
- mine is hiding in my garage somewhere

Re: tv aerial
The Avtex has an amplifier so will always give better performance in weak signal areas than a non-amplified aerial.
