Hi,
Does anyone have any experience of these new antennas please? I currently have a 530 and wondered if I would see any gain over this. Now this next question may seem a bit simple but the first line of the set up instructions tell me to determine if my tv transmissions are horizontal or vertical. How do I determine this?
Many thanks.

Have a look at www.gradeuk.co.uk all should be revealed:thumb:
sorry just read post again I see you already have the instructions, I'm sure someone will be along with more knowledge

I have read the info on it and all it has extra is a signal strength indicator -no better than the 530 really --deffo not worth doing a swap(but if you feel you must I will give you 20 quid for the 530 )--- best way to see horizontal etc is look around you (houses preferable) and see if there Ariel are in flat position or on the side If no house then spin through 360 with it flat and if no signal then do the same with it on edge :thumb:

I have a 530 and use a signal strength meter (about a tenner on eBay). Its still more reliable to look which way/orientation any houses nearby have theres set however.

Im sure I read somewhere about a formula
Find out if the nearest transmitter is a main mast or a repeater mast
Main masts transmit horizontal and repeater masts transmit verticalor

That rings bells with me but it is still easier to look at nearby houses

Not many places in this country where you are above 1 mile or 2 away from a house Anyway what happened to the promised signal boost I still have 3 or 4 flying saucer types in the garage (somewhere)
