It does depend on how long you expect to stay at your present location.

A good wideband aerial like you've mentioned should get both analogue and digital and if you are close to a number of transmitters you may get out-of-area channels as well. My 43-element wideband aerial can take signals from Winter Hill and from Moel-Y-Parc in Wales.

I live in South Manchester. A neighbour has a 50-element aerial and gets signals from the Sutton Coldfield transmitter near Birmingham so your 71-element aerial should reach some distance.
Yeah it would have been great if I could use the current aerial, but if it won't pick up the signal, it's gonna be a new one.

Thanks for letting me know how well the 50 element ones work
