I am open to other models if there are any suggestions but please tell me again the good and bad points.
This is all because the TV reception is hit and miss because of the air con unit being so close, on saying that we have just got back from the site at Keswick and always had poor reception in the Winchcombe  ,it was perfect in the Bourton , but this is  not always the case

We have a Bourton 2019 with the very same problems. What we did to overcome the problem of poor tv reception was to replace the Max View aerial with a Milenco (full details on request) which gives a much better reception. We also installed a WiFi aerial with a link with the tv (as yet not had to use it). This is at a much less cost of installing a satellite dish which is not easy on the Bourton due to lack of roof space if like us you have A/C.

I’m in southern Spain with my carbuncle....it’s good enough to get sky news etc...mine came fitted and to be fair I’ve no complaints...I watched tv last night but all the big dishes were forced to stay down because of wind!
everything is a compromise, you just do as much research as you can and take on board all the pros ...and cons!

That is a brilliant idea, can you adjust the height of the Milenco aerial and is the post the same in diameter as the Max View.Did you replace it yourself or have it done, just thinking about getting the 'other half' who is quite capable to have a think about doing it. If you don't mind would you let me know the details of the aerial you have used. Thanks

I apologise for the delay in replying.The Milenco is a Power 900L Omnidirection 360 TV Aerial. It has twice the db gain 38 as apposed to the Max View at 19db. It is higher with a lot wider receiver. It would be positioned in place of the Max View and it has it's own booster. We did not fit it ourselves but see no reason why it could not be done diy.
