Some interesting experiences and tips - thanks all.
Putting the aerial near the window is a possibility - I'd have to use a coaxial extension, though. However, it seems like my window doesn't face the transmitter, according to Google Maps.
I guess I'm just going to have to try it to see if it works OK as there seems to be so many factors that affect reception.
I'll dig up this thread again and report back - just in case anyone's interested how things go. :)
[edit] Oh, one more thing: these aerials/boosters with 'gain' specified in dB - the higher the dB the better, right? I'm not totally sure what gain is, TBH. :/
