Right away I thought "could that actually be any use at all?" The simple answer is, no.
Why? You may ask, well, it's cheap - very cheap at £1.97 and is technically useless as a yagi antenna.
The main folded dipole element is fed by two rubbery feeling bits of stranded wire which run UN SHIELDED down the post to two prongs at the base, which has a length of coax leading from it.
The simple lack of shielding here adds to the uselessness a lot. What really amused me about this antenna is the fact that it performed better pointing right up in the air - that is just using the dipole element. In a yagi configuration my freeview box never got a lock at all and would squeek and splutter a few blocks of picture.
By the way - if you're thinking about dis-assembling the thing - don't, this is why...
...the plug bit of the base gets so solidly stuck in it actually snaps when you try to remove it.
So, to conclude, don't buy this. It's useless unless you perhaps live in a garden shed bolted to the side of the transmitter or something - but I expected this.
At least I managed to find something crapper than the Antiference antenna I use at the moment which I think dates from the 80's and every man and his cat seems to own.
