Can anyone suggest a good portable TV ariel to pick up freeview? (We have the set top box already).

We want one that we can mount on a telescopic pole and have either free standing or attatched to the tow bar of the trailer tent.

We want to spend no more than about £50ish on the airiel.

Also what about the pole? can you but these or has anyone made one them selves?

I would be most grateful for any suggestions.

thanks for the ideas for the pole could cobble that together with what i have already got.

Know all I need to know is which ariel do you guys reccomend?

Thanks

I use a cheap one from wilko's think it cost abaout £5 works great but i have switched to Satellite now and also use a DVB-usb freeview receiver(£23.99) for my laptop for  if i feel lazy and the area has freeview there are also ones with a scart connection that fit directly into the back of the TV
