Basically, Digital TV aerials to work properly (or to get reception at all) need to be outdoors. Roof tiles, pipework & electrical wires commonly found in your loft can all play havoc with your reception.
The Digital Aerial is best suited to be mounted around 10m off the ground, and free from obstructions such as roof lines, trees etc.....

dont forget for best results it needs to be free from obstruction between the aerial and the transmitter. and dont forget to add between 3 and 5 degrees to the angle of the aerial at the top of the mast and keep to a minimum number of joins as you will loose about 2db though each connecter (coax plug).
