    Not sure what your question is but his advice was sound

    If somones in a bad area for reception (Ie, no matter what you do your going to have a bad signal), then spending money on a new aerial (or having it reset or whatever) is pointless

    I think the latter part of his advice was good I was just wondering about the highlighted part.

    I cant say for sure. But I took what almillar said as a basic upgrade.
    ie - IF the aerial requires replacing then do so. Though it may just need readjusting, rewiring or whatever.
    :idea:

    OP wants Freeview, and aerial is too weak, so subject to not being in a blackspot, just upgrade the aerial now - was the point of my post, as Rik has understood.
