I can say that this the best I have used for digital freeview.

Sory about that I was looking for the image number related to the items rather than the name of the item. Yhere I go again overcomplicating the issue!

I kind of had the idea that a signal booster would be reqquired for best results and wonder if the image has one inbuilt. Iny ideas?

omni as when you moving you be constanly turning so directional wont be much use though a directional gives better signal strength

I tried a signal booster with the Image and it worked just as well without it, my advice is save your money!

Just been doing some searching and found a few reviews of motorhome tv aerials and the status 530/18 comes out top a couple of times so will be picking one up. Have got my aerial socket and cable nicely fitted now. Just picked up a bargain lcd tv so just the aerial and pole to finish

:wink:

i have one of these too and they are vantastic...never been without a signal yet and always get around 80-100 channels on dvb..when i bought mine i also bought the pole pack that has the mounts that stick to the van.its gonna cost you in the region of 50 quid for the whole set up.i stuck the mounts to the rear wing in a way that holds the pole as verticle as possible..but afterwards i rivetted them on as i know i would never want to take them off again and if they ever did come off i would have to buy some more. i can do you a pic tomoz of it all set up if you like :wink: (oh and ive seen loads of vans and caravans using this too)...bejeesus..you'd think i was a rep ,wunt ya :lol:
