Does anyone do or can recommend aerial services in the Reading area?

Currently have a wideband high gain pointed at the Hannington transmitter, that I want either turn around to Crystal Palace or probably replace with a high gain band A so I can get Freeview HD.

Happy to turn around the wide gain if its an easier job and try it, but I don't believe it will perform well enough to get the weaker HD MUX. I have a new Blake DMX10A high gain I have tried in the loft space but the attenuation from the roof is too much, only get 3/5 MUX's receivable (signal detected for other two but too weak). Wolfbane suggests its possible so I think externally would solve.

Aerial is on T&K on end wall as can be seen in first picture of old post on dish install:

Yes I know I can whack up a minidish and get Freesat+ HD but this is Plan B...

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

PM Rolf if you haven't done it already

He is a bit closer than I am.

If no luck then let me know

Oops, somehow forgot to subscribe to the thread so missed your reply, sorry. Deeply indebted to Rolf already so did not want to ask, Rolf if you read this outstanding long overdue offer for lunch at pub still stands anytime your passing! (with not need to touch any aerials or dishes!).

Looked like our house sale had fallen through so I was going to switch the aerial to get HD before F1 started, but after it all looked done last minute turn around so should be moving in a few months now so will wait and sort it out at the other end :cool: Thought it was all toast when I posted this last week.
