Don't entertain the round fixed ones, the 3 series, they are absolute rubbish. We now have a 540 and it works a treat.

Admittedly, a few years ago, you were better off with a wire coathanger but times have changed due to the digital switchover.

The flying saucer model came with the van and it works quite well nowadays. In fact I can pick up nearly all channels on my driveway when 3 years ago, my Status 530 would only pick up a few (good enough to watch without breaking up). This is purely down to the digital revolution.

If I was starting from scratch I would go for the directional one. Even though I think that they are priced far too high and are a ripoff.

I've got the 530

The flying saucer type is only good in high signal strength areas
