Fitting a new TV aerial

Bit of a disaster last evening - my chimney mounted TV aerial fell down :-( The old rusty lashing must have been terminally weakened by the recent winds.
Anyway gonna buy myself a new wizzo digi/ana/freeview little number and mount it back on the chimney. Don't really want to use a lashing kit and would prefer to mount with a plate screwed to the chimney bricks.
Has anyone done this and can anyone recommend where I can buy the fixing plate ? The aerial will be small and the s-shaped pole will be less than 6 feet long and hopefully aluminium.
Before getting the new aerial and fixing I am going to try zip tying the old pole + aerial to my downpipe in a last desperate effort to get some sort of picture as a temporary measure of course :-)

Don't know where you are but here in West Yorkshire we have a local specialist shop - check your Yellow Pages.
We just tell them our post code and type of mounting and they come up with the goods. It's also very cheap - I'm sure our last aerial and fixing kit was under £30 (although we can't get channel 5 in our postcode area). They'll also tell you where to point it, how many elements it needs, and it's mounting orientation (vertical or horizontal).0
