Although watching TV isn’t a major factor when we’re touring, we’ve found that when we do decide to tune in more often than not the reception is either non-existent or intermittent. By experimentation I’ve found that the reception via the hopeless omnidirectional Status aerial can be worse than via a bent coat-hanger suck into the socket. I know that there are upgraded versions of the Status that are directional, but I don’t want to make another hole in the roof.
After a bit of online research it appears that a small log-periodic aerial is the way to go, so the plan is to fix that outside. I already have an external aerial socket so I won’t need to make another hole in the wall, but I will need to fix a pair of brackets to hold the aerial pole. I was wondering if anybody had any experience of using brackets like these stuck on with sticky pads, or whether I should attach them with screws.
