I have a carp signal with the antenna from the tuner so need to get something mounted externally

whilst id like a 5 element jobby for the ultimate signal strength, I don't fancy a 4 foot thing hanging from the top of the house

would a an Omni or dipole be okay and should it have a balun or not? im not that bothered about getting an fm signal but wouldn't it to be degraded hugely if im using the dab aerial

thanks for the intel chaps

hear you re the internal vs external. given we are at the bottom of a valley I really need the height to get a stable signal. the idea would be too have the face plate close to where the tuner will be so the run from the faceplate to the tuner would be less than 1m and the external run would be fairly discreet and the aerial mounted close to the sat dish.. that's the plan anyways
