868025	2010-03-17 08:46:00	This May Help (www.freeviewnz.tv):)	Trev (427)
868026	2010-03-17 18:36:00	I did that. Please look at attached screenshot in post #4	nedkelly (9059)
868027	2010-03-17 19:23:00	Ok do as Speedy says. Mount it as high as you can. :)	Trev (427)
868028	2010-03-17 19:45:00	yeah but I was wondering if I am in a Prime central area You are quite distant, and in a somewhat tricky reception area so you will need a fairly high antenna as well as one with quite a few elements. Have a look at your neighbours' antennas, check who gets a good picture and try for something in the middle of the pack as regards the number of elements among those with a good picture. Some of the smaller ones will only give a good picture on favourable days, while the ones with a thicket of elements may only illustrate that somebody encountered a very motivated salesman.

868029	2010-03-17 19:48:00	would a 3 storey house be tall enough?	nedkelly (9059)
868030	2010-03-17 20:01:00	Do you know which direction the transmitter is and can you see it from the top of your 3 storey house and if you can you should be alright. Do any of your neighbors have Freeview HD and what is there reception like. :)	Trev (427)
868031	2010-03-17 20:16:00	I have no idea about the transmitter. I dont really have that much to do with my neighbours.	nedkelly (9059)
868032	2010-03-17 20:22:00	You could try building the coat-hanger antenna blog.makezine.com	Agent_24 (57)
868033	2010-03-17 20:30:00	I have no idea about the transmitter. I dont really have that much to do with my neighbours. How about actually going outside and looking at what other people have and the direction most UHF aerials are pointing.	Sweep (90)
