The letter in February's club magazine from Andrew Woodthorpe regarding caravan & motorhome TV aerials gives a good overview of the aerial and how to get the best reception.
I use a TV signal finder app. It shows you the direction of all TV masts and whether the signal is horizontal or vertical. Sometimes I find it's better to go for a mast further away but with a less interrupted line of sight, trees or buildings blocking the nearest mast etc.
On my Bailey Autograph II motorhome I have also discovered that the exterior TV aerial port, is not an input (from the EHU bollard) but an output to watch TV outside. I've now reversed it with a simple switch so that I can watch the site system when reception is bad.
Oh and the international signal warning that you have left your aerial up is someone pointing furiously at the heavens with one finger shouting 'aerial'.
