Notices more when weather is windy cant get mustard tv at all
have only just moved in and the aerial is fairly old probably from the ealy 90's.
I was wondering weather to replace it with a high gain (16db) wideband
aerial.

DenisW:
If you do need to replace your aerial, then have a log-periodic type fitted as that will be suitable for the foreseeable future. it will cover all the services currently being transmitted and those planned for the next 6 years or more. Also do not fall for the 'con' about digital aerials, all UHF aerials are capable of receiving Digital TV signals at no extra cost.
To have it fitted, select a good local contractor by asking around. Do not use one that has an 0800 number or uses a mobile contact number.
