For an aerial attached to side of house near the eaves, or fascia board - how high would the aerial have to be in an area with no tall trees, and the tops of neighbours hip & valley roofs reaching about 7-8ft above the guttering? The house is at a relatively high point in the area.
Could the height of aerial be supported on a crank mast or would it have to be supported by what people call 'T&K brackets'? I am intending on getting a pro to fit it.
Also, I would like a socket in the lounge and on the first floor back bedroom. How would that work - bring a single cable into the house and have a splitter inside and route the cable upstairs somehow, or split the cable outside and have it coming in at two separate points?
Is it true that having too 'loud' a signal can be a problem - above 65dB? Would a fancy high gain aerial not be a good move?

What a fantastic resource.
