- Can save money by reducing the need for amplifiers and distribution systems
- May work in attic where WB contract aerial would not give good results
DISADVANTAGES of UHF Grid TV Aerial
- Cost: Far more expensive than a 10 element contract aerial
- If mounting an aerial outside in a poor reception aerial - a high gain 32 Element aerial will give better results.
- A correctly selected and installed Grouped 10 Element contract aerial can give equally good results
- Takes up 80cm of pole space compared to only 30cm for a 10 Element contract aerial - an issue when space is tight on your aerial pole
