Hey hey hey - What about the football though?
I guess I'm old school. 1116 sen am radio does it for me, or the afl app on the iPhone for when I'm in a pinch.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, happy days!''Days of our lives'' has been axed, sorry to have to tell you

Any one running a GME DIGITAL TV ANTENNA AERIAL 360º OMNI DIRECTIONAL INDOOR OUTDOOR NEW AE3000.
Thoughts please
Thoughts please
just wondering malibu if you changed the horizontal to the top and if there was any improvement?
G'day,
Not a big improvement but funny enough at lake sambal it did work improving the signal a bit .Having said that last visit I used the extension lead which was much better.
Their aerial has a powered amp splitter and mounted high but from what I have experienced if your aerial can't see the transmitter in the wonderful digital age you aren't likely to get signal unless your lucky with reflection off something.
in the end Higher is usually better. I tried an old low gain aerial in an extension stick (ex garden lopper) and in some cases being higher was much better eg laurietan . One day I might design a wind up extension for the wineguard.Still use it as its so convenient and works well most places.
High gain log periodic style aerials seem fairly common and work well on one polarity though only one place I saw one work better than the winegard ,Tewantin and it was at least 3 metres above the van.
Omnidirectional aerials are a simple wire loop usually incorporating an amp in the head so don't care about direction so need good signal.
Tend to agree satellite is good in clear weather and away from trees and a good book is a lot cheaper.
Have fun and a Great Christmas.

Thanks for that malibu ...... very informative. What do you mean by extension lead?
I did have a look at the snowflake arrays and wasnt sure if you completely swapped over the 2 units or merely repositioned each one to the alternate postions?
Have a good xmas yourself too!
Ok nearly 12 mths since posting this, so quoting my own reply, Recently stayed at the same free camp near Braidwood, this time we had the new "Snow Flake" aerial and it worked a treat compared to the older aerial last time, recieved all channels from Canberra, occasionally fuzzed out with the wind on some channels, but otherwise all good
Sorry I did not explain properly.I meant the aerial lead the park lends you to connect to their aerial to the van. The top snowflake was rotated to match the transmitter I was pointed at.
I still think the lower snowflake may be too close to the roof and see no reason not to add an extra few cm to the mast and raise the whole thing especially when you consider the od wineguard sat on top of the mast.
PS moved into a nice over 55's place which means next year no worries about leaving the house!
Wingard snowflakes aren't worth two knobs of sheep don't be rude! Sick of tired of just trying to tune in to one thing ( footy), and no reception, but if you like SBS that's another story
Don't have a problem with ours, other than I bent it a few months ago and have to replace the shaft which you can't buy as a spare part, still works fine.
Have you check ALL the connections? turned the booster power on?
You've got to be doing something wrong, ours has worked a treat right through Central OZ , FNQ and here at home in the Illawarra and down the South Coast.
I've got a snowflake. Bought a signal finder and use it when needed but have never had an issue getting channels!
I've checked that booster and connections today and all is fine, strangely enough it's working a treat now in lakes entrance whilst a storm is going thru :-/
This is what we use down here in Tassie and so far 100% srike rate. Not cheap but easy as. Its omni directional so no pointing at towers, just plug it in and go.
And there made in Australia too.
