    we had one when i was a kid, it was ****ing useless. As i was the youngest, it was my job to get up and adjust it when the picture went fuzzy. The old man had me standing like a statue for 2hrs while he watched a race meeting from Aintree, with me holding the TV aerial in the correct position

    Good luck, let us know if you find one. Have tried for years without success. My mum’s got a flat square one which sort of works

    I use a old magnetic mount aerial off my camper van and it works really good.

    Probably not the answer to your question, but we had one fitted into the loft our our holiday rental. Think it cost about £100 ish and is perfect.

    Not funny when you were doing it. I can't count the number of hours of my life spent 'not' watching Coronation Street!

    Whether it works will depend on where you live. Which area are you in?

    This works perfectly.

    Make sure it’s against a wall that’s facing out, not into another room.

    I’m in Carmarthenshire though, would have thought it wouldnt matter too much but someone up there suggested it does matter.

    cheers everybody for your suggestions ( some good and some funny) but have decided to give an amazon fire stick another go.
