TV aerials…. (19 Viewers)

[Eeoodares]

I have an Avtex stick aerial, it is way better than I expected but not perfect.
Is there a significant step up in reception by fitting a Status 350 omni directional aerial (or similar)?
TIA

You'll get conflicting replies but my two penn'rth......load of crap.
Anything omnidirectional will never be as good as a directional aerial.

I have the Avtex figure of 8 usb boosted signal aerial and it has not let me down once. Ditched the useless sucker mount and I plant it on the roof with a magnetic pole being a Camper Van. Just remove it through the skylight when we move off.
I have the cheap little generic magnetic stick aerial people rate but it's nowhere as good as the Avtex I have.

We don't watch TV in our van so I am not going to recommend any specific products but after over 50 years in consumer electronics I know you can't electronically boost a signal that isn't there.
You need a decent Yagi antenna or a Log Periodic antenna if you want some gain and pull in weaker signals.

You need a directional aerial not omni. I can’t remember the make of ours but it works fine.

A simple directional antennae with a digital amplifier then use a Digital TV transmitter finder APP to find the direction to the closest one
Works for us
