Having another senior moment. I have just been looking at a posting by someone who had purchased a cheap stickon window tv aerial. However, I do not know which web site I was looking at. Anyone know anything about these aerials, price, where to get them, whether they are any good etc.
For that kind of money you could get a very good conventional aerial and get better results.

Granted, but the choice of "stick-on" aerials is limited & they usually cost more than bog standard aerials. Standard aerial will still need a pole etc aswell.
I'm happy with my Avtex & it'll achieve a good price if I ever sell it on. One of the big advantages with them is that the booster is powered automatically from the aerial socket of an Avtex TV, negating the need for a separate 12V power supply.
Got our "stick on" Avtex aerial from Caravan and Motorhome show in Manchester for £30 but our local "MH" supplies stockist which is Riversway have them as well.
Find them great because you can lean out of the window/door to fix them to the MH - save you getting outside to put up the pole in the wet - Can also take them in in the same way.
Can also use them on either side or back of van (course this depends if the TV is fixed and the length of your aerial cable).
Sometimes ours doesnt work (like in Yorkshire Dales) a couple of weeks ago but we dont spend all the time watching it and we can always watch a DVD if we have no signal.
When on site we have a look around to see where everybody else's aerials are pointing and then attach to appropriate bit of van. The aerial also turns on "stick on" thingy to get better reception.
We have to do a search for channels on TV each time but now that i have got the hang of which bits of the menu to go into it doesnt take more than a couple of minutes.
But note they have been known to fall off van and frighten us to death
I've looked at Riversway and cannot see any stick on aerials.
I may be wrong - the old grey matter doesnt work as well as it used to and as I spend lots of time in Todds, Riversway, Campbells it could be any of them.
I bought a DVB-T indoor area at Tescos- Silvercrest for digital and analogue TV and radio reception with integrated broadband amplifier. It wasn't that expensive. I yore interested I'll post a photo. Basically it has a 'areil loop' plus two extenting ariels. Works indoors so why would it not work in a van? Have yet to try.
Bought John Lewis lcd with freevew builtin, but not any programs other than BBC ones on digital. Retuning is I believe due soon.
