What kind of price would I expect to pay for the installation of a new TV aerial, on my roof?

We paid nearly£ 200 a few years ago for a medium gain on a 6 ft pole. Next door paid £400 last year for a higher gain, longer pole and booster.
I wouldn't pay that much tho I'd get sky I'm sure.

At the moment I'm paying Ricky Branston around £35-40 per month for broadband, landline & tv.

We don't really need a landline (barely use it), we don't watch much TV, & I'm sure I could get cheap broadband from elsewhere (Plusnet?) ... don't really care about super-fast interwebs as it's only used for internet/email/myface

I'm thinking I can save money in the long run by just having freeview & cheap broadband (I know this'll still require line rental).

We bought a new build house in 2009 with no ariel. I just stuck a £30 maplin jobbie in the loft and have never had any issues. Others down the street seemed to go for massive external poles etc.

So, I could possibly get away with fitting one myself in the loft space?

How significantly reduced is a signal inside a loft?

(I can't get to the chimney stack to mount one outside as it's a mid-terrace so would need roof ladders etc)

a rough price for a 32 element aerial to 1 tv point should be inbetween £100 to £150.
and roughly £35 per point thereafter.
