Ever since the analogue TV switch-off I've had a FreeView box in use purely to listen to 6 Music on.
I know the TV aerial has blown a bit off its correct alignment and at the w/end the reception seemed to go off a bit and today I couldn't get a thing on it - I suspect it's down to a tree coming into leaf.
Sadly I don't do rooves so can't sort it out myself and am loath to pay goodness knows what to somebody else to do it.
DAB reception also seems to be leaving something to be desired, though given how bad VHF is I'm surprised it's as good as it is.
I'll see what I can rig-up in the loft tomorrow, I can even stick the receiver up there it it comes to it. I'll also see if I can bodge an aerial socket onto it. The design under discussion does seem better than anything else I've tried. Sadly I have no way of objectively measuring it.
