A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

The Yagi antennas work perfectly.
no filters or anything.
Which is not the reason for fitting a filter.


There was a rush to install wideband aerials in the UK a few years ago, keeping the cowboy side of the industry alive around here.

Now people are having to source LTE filters, when older systems running Group A and B antennas don't need them.

Somewhere in England (possibly?)!

I fitted (I think - it was the early 1990s, and thus a VERY long time ago!) a Group B nonYagi antenna to reliably get Crystal Palace, and haven't needed to fit a filter (so far!)

Then again, we rarely watch terrestrial tellie! :)

Yes, if they previously received channels between 25 and 48 - https://fmscan.org/main.php?qth=Aalten&l=6.5833333&b=51.9333333
theoretically these channels could be available:
Code:
<terrestrial name="Aalten (DVB-T2)" flags="7" countrycode="HOL">
<transponder centre_frequency="506000000" bandwidth="0" constellation="3" system="1" /><!-- Ch 25/WDR1 -->
<transponder centre_frequency="514000000" bandwidth="0" constellation="3" system="1" /><!-- Ch 26/NPO -->
<transponder centre_frequency="530000000" bandwidth="0" constellation="3" system="1" /><!-- Ch 28/NTS4 -->
<transponder centre_frequency="538000000" bandwidth="0" constellation="3" system="1" /><!-- Ch 29/ZDF -->
<transponder centre_frequency="546000000" bandwidth="0" constellation="3" system="1" /><!-- Ch 30/NTS3 -->
<transponder centre_frequency="554000000" bandwidth="0" constellation="3" system="1" /><!-- Ch 31/NTS2 -->
<transponder centre_frequency="586000000" bandwidth="0" constellation="3" system="1" /><!-- Ch 35/WDR2 -->
<transponder centre_frequency="626000000" bandwidth="0" constellation="3" system="1" /><!-- Ch 40/NRW1 -->
<transponder centre_frequency="642000000" bandwidth="0" constellation="3" system="1" /><!-- Ch 42/NTS1 -->
<transponder centre_frequency="650000000" bandwidth="0" constellation="3" system="1" /><!-- Ch 43/NRW2 -->
<transponder centre_frequency="674000000" bandwidth="0" constellation="3" system="1" /><!-- Ch 46/WDR1 -->
<transponder centre_frequency="690000000" bandwidth="0" constellation="3" system="1" /><!-- Ch 48/NRW3 -->
</terrestrial>
No matter what I try, channel 29 (ZDF) does not work, the rest of the channels do. almost full signal.

Hilarious, I also still have these Ralectro Roggel leaflets, they must be from around 1980!

MrDish1, what your location? (Edit: it's Aalten in your profile :-doh)
From my location (Oss) with a portable FM radio, I can receive all WDR from both Kleve and Langenberg, in mono even noise free.
Didn't have the incentive yet to try to receive DVB-T from these, since these muxes have nothing in addition to what Astra offers.
DAB+ however I want to try, but just don't know what would be a good (sensitive) portable with external antenna connector.
