Hi,
I've just moved into a house that has a 'traditional' type ariel (one of these ugly things: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SLX-48-EL...-WIDEBAND-WITH-FULL-INSTALL-KIT-/281229580246 ) that has detached from its mounting and is now laying on the roof tiles hanging only by the co-ax cable that feeds the signal into the house.
The picture's pretty poor/unreliable and so I want to completely renew the terrestrial digital reception arrangements, but I'm not sure of the best way to do this.
I could just replace the existing ariel, but having thought about it, I've seen portable devices pick up a signal with something as small as this:

It also looks like I could set up one of these in the loft:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TV-Aerial...-To-50dB-Gain-DAB-Radio-Booster-/390556377713
and send the signal to the various sockets in the house.
As a non-expert, the choices seem numerous and I'm not sure what their various merits are. Is there a concensus opinion on the best/most practical way of receiving terrestrial digital?
Would appreciate some guidance
