Bingo!  LOL.

Well, I did get a bigger aerial, but it hardly upped the signal at all.
It didn't help that it was a cheap job with seductive numbers off ebay.
I'll have a look for a better one.

For indoors, the aerial (at the back of the house) is pointed in the
direction of the centre of the house, and it works pretty well inside.
It just means I'll have to reposition it for outdoors.

That said, I'm still picking up a signal that's doing the job outside as
it is, but I'm greedy and want to sit at the bottom of the garden just
for the Hell of it!

For winter, I'll do this but for now I'll point it outside.  This
weather's something else!

Thanks Al.
