I already have amplifiers and splitters in the leads as the signal gets distributed round the house mixed in with the output of a modulator on VM's HD box. Worst case I might have to swap them around a bit.

Even without a reflector the old rotting 625 antenna on the gable showed 80% signal and it was meant for the high end of the UHF band rather than Freeview that's a bit lower down the band. Never even thought about it til we got a Freeview capable TV in the Kitchen a couple of years ago so I was pleasantly surprised when it tuned in OK.
