    Need to know which transmitter your TV comes from, as they all use different 'beams'

    What are you planning to receive?

    Assuming TV then you'll need a wideband aerial these days. For a guess on the size needed look at what your neighbours have.

    Don't do a Rod Hull.

    Make sure you get a CAI member to install your aerial, hopefully that will avoid most cowboy intallers.
    If you are installing a television aerial it needs to be of the appropriate band for your area, which is NOT defined as small medium or large.

    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    & members on this site are trusted? I'm not very trusting unless it's a referral, but none of my contacts know an aerial chappy. I'm in North-West London
