Aerial ?

Of the various Argos aerials then 535/2526 (#1st choice) and 900/4399 (#2nd choice) are worth considering. Beware though, these kits are often designed for DIY install by amateurs. You'll probably find that...
a) the aerial bracket is small and lightweight 'J' bracket so only suitable for loft mount or sofit/barge-board facia fixing. Those might not be the best places for your aerial
b) the cable quality might be basic and the length not quite sufficient
c) the amplifier may well be superfluous
...so when the guy is on-site and telling you your aerial needs to be mounted on a taller bracket and with longer cable etc etc then you may end up spending more than you 'save'.
It's worth having a chat with a couple of local aerial installers to get their recommendations and prices. They'll know what works and what doesn't for your location and quote for the right gear. Whatever happens you won't end up throwing money down the drain trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
