If you need to replace your rooftop aerial, Digital UK recommends looking for an installer who is a member of a recognised trade body such as the Confederation of Aerial Installers (CAI), or a Registered Digital Installer (RDI). Alternatively, ask your local electrical retailer for advice. Installation of a standard rooftop aerial is likely to cost £60-180. Additional sockets cost around £45 each.
Please note: These are the aerial requirements for after switchover (the stage 2 date)
A wideband aerial will always be suitable to receive all available channels after switchover
