IBB antenna photos ? Can you post some?

Random · 2005-04-14 16:09:42

Am looking for some photos of the IBB atenna if anyone would be so good as to take some for me? BE great if a few people could, as I hear it needs to go on a different position and a different height depending on location. Cheers

Cheers for those photos

Does it have to be so high up on all of them? Or does it depend on location? Anyone else got some shots ?

Depends on where your best signal is. mine is about the same as the picture but my house is high enough so its not a eye sore. I thought it would be alot worse than it is.

It's always installed by the chimney? I assume the engineer has all the equipment to get up on the roof etc? I assume he's not got issues wandering around on the roof lots? (as there's no room for a ladder in the back)

Not always by the chimney, we have one at work and it is against a wall with a 2 or 3 meters pole, I'll get a photo tomorrow.

The pole my antenna is on is only about half as high as in the pics posted. I suppose it's location dependent.

Well myself and drapper are in D15 and our ariels are not as high as some of the ones on those photos. My ariel was getting a full signal when it was still in the back of the installers van though as im ver close to the atrium so perhaps they dident need to my mine up high at all. I have no photos of it though.
