status 550 aerial or recommendations

I'm looking to put a new aerial on my abbey spectrum 620 as the reception is bad, I've got an omni directional fitted now but I keep losing some of the channels, does anyone know if the status 550 might do the trick or is anything else recommended, I have it kept permanently on site near Pwllheli North Wales,I would like to keep the original look of the van as it's not that old.

I have a status omni directional on my 2010 Elddis and had terrible reception - turned out to be faulty - I bypassed it to discover this and they then replaced it Thumbs Up

Did you replace it with another omnidirectional like for like, or did you go for a directional which I have been told is better.

The Status 550 apparently is a replacement for the 530 and is another log periodic antenna. I certainly don't have any problems receiving digital terrestial TV with my 530, unless the transmitter signal is particularly poor.

I just fitted the 550 last weekend, works fine so far even when the signal finder stays at red, so gets my vote.

Sorry it is a status directional and they just replaced the booster Embarassed

We have the 530 and that works pretty well - much better than the omni directional unit we had before.
