Recommendations for a indoor aerial

[Trev]

That's more a satellite thing, but I suppose it could happen on terrestrial. But I suspect that it won't happen as you are probably in a strong signal area. A true better test is if the reception breaks up when you walk around the room.

would I be right in thinking a true test is no break up of the signal when the weather is bad.

No. It's when the weather is good (high pressure) that you get temperature inversions and tropospheric ducting which can cause all sorts of problems. Rain doesn't affect UHF reception.

A true test is if the reception breaks up when you walk around the room.

I would say "better" rather than "true".

Yes Trev, maybe a rain dance in front of it would be a better test.

Emley also has the same high power (174kW) on all muxes except COM7, COM8 and local, not all transmitters (eg Waltham) do. Can you pick up the local tv multiplex (5kW) with that aerial?

Yes, although at low strength. Last time I tuned I had problems with COM4 but I can watch the channels on there with no breakup.

Yes, that would probably do the trick Die

I just did.

Yes, although at low strength.

Sounds better than I expected. I'll file that away for future use - thanks.
