That's disappointing news.
The aerial in the aforementioned link was via Maplin and did involve easing the hole in the fascia. I don't really mind that not being an absolute purist, but having looked at the current Maplin offerings it's difficult to decide if that particular item is still stocked.
There are lots of aerials around but most do not seem to be designed to be mounted as per Hacker and do not fully retract.
The offending aerial on my set was very stiff and I broke it while not paying attention to what I was doing ......frustratingly I can't even blame my wife!
It snapped off on the second thinnest section
