[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 869630, member: 199791"] No, the point I'm making is they've installed a piece of rubbish, and they won't be getting the best reception they could be with something that looks like someone came up with when they accidentally sat on a folded dipole, that thing won't pick up a decent amount of FM to reduce hiss to an acceptable point (never mind attaining a stereo signal), as it'll be pulling in signal from all over, causing crossover and interference, and if it's used for DAB, then it won't be any good as it'll keep cutting out and garbling the way it does... Yeah, it's fitted properly, looks different, and may be up there for years, but providing a good signal, I highly doubt it, if I hired a professional to install an FM or DAB aerial (not needed here given the proximity to Pontop Pike and Burnhope transmitters) and they tried to fob me off with one of those claiming it's a great product, I'd tell them to get stuffed, the problem is that a lot of the people who have had them fitted don't know their Yagi from their Dipole, so they just take the installer's word for it, and hey presto, there's a lot of them about, but like I said earlier, just because there's a lot of them doesn't mean they're any good...
