I just bought a portable tv, and supplied was the usual garbage aerial and a bit better one.
Both are rubbish, complete and utter waste of time, so what des one recommend please, I can't have a permenant one on the van roof, it's a pop top and would look silly,
Any help please

10 channels is good - I can only get 8 at home.

There are amplified ones which require power.
There are sticks that near to the transmitter are as good as an expensive one
or there are directional ones
I use a directional one from maplin (This is about 18" long it clips to the rollout awning)
It works without power and I always get a picture and always a ton of channels
and when I am near an antenna I use this little 12" magnetic one..
and it's as good as the other in the right place
