You mean vertically polarised robbage... TV antennae are more often than not horizontally polarised.robbage wrote:Belling Lee (IEC 162-2) not N type but anyway... TV antenna worked for me as well as a starter. It would work a lot better if the antenna was rotated 90° so the elements are up and down. Not so good for TV
Looking for a better antenna

You can lose more than 95% of the signal if you have the wrong orientation.Any idea why TV is HP? I assume it's something to do with better propagation and less noise
