    Before you splash out on that try a set of rabbit ears (from the pound shop) or even a hanger, if you can get a strong enough signal the above will be good enough for you.

    Yeah, the signal around our area is a bit funny alright. A green (mostly) or yellow tipped UHF aerial works in most cases around the Portarlington, Portlaosie, Mountmellick, Monasterevin area, failing that we usually recommenend a decent wideband uhf grid aerial for customers. It should be cheaper than the one you suggested and works well in my experience.
