I asked about those here a while ago - I dare say Bill will be along
shortly to explain it :-)

I think as well as allegedly better gain that they reduce ghosting. I saw
a
rash of them installed in an area where ghosting caused by blockes of
flats
in near line of site of Crystal Palace was common. Sort of like a phased
array, giving a narrower horizontal sensisitivy and a stonger vertical
one.

The above could all be rubbish of course :-)

Bill hates those Televes aerials. I had one at my old house (and it's
still there) and it performed very well. They are ugly, though, and
the plastic parts are very brittle. Also, they often arrive with a
couple of bent elements, and any attempt to straighten them will lead
to them snapping clean off.

But a lollipop stick and a squirt of 'No Nails' soon put that one right eh
Marky:0)

Actually, you're not far off. As the elements were tubular, I used
small wooden dowels and a spot of super glue and shoved 'em back on.
Admitedly, one did fall off after a week.

Seriously though one would think that they could do a lot better than a
plastic bag considering the price!
