Default TV antennas.

I wondered if anyone had used an alternative to the two supplied windscreen antennas for the DVB-T TV?

They give a great picture but i think they look a bit of an eye sore personally

Would a sharks fin work?Or any other less intrusive aerials

Would these work?

I reckon they could be tucked into black edging on the front screen if they are suitable.

I reused my original Rover built into the rear screen antennas, so mine looks original. They work maybe slightly better than the supplied ones.

I you have Sean's DD and DVB-T, you will have got the same pair of antennas as I got with mine. They didn't look an eye sore, they can be fitted invisibly in the black part of the rear screen, trapped between screen and roof or D pillar lining.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

Will have another look at the rear screen tomorrow.I agree,they don't look an eye sore when they are invisible

Apologies if my description of the supplied antennas sounded a little harsh

They work great,i would just prefer it if they could be tucked away out of sight.Will check out the rear screen option.
