I'm also sorry to say that the "round" Status aerial is (IMHO) totally useless.

In two years of having a van with one we never got a decent picture.

IMO that thing isnt a telly device it is for secret spies to keep an eye on us vanners and transmit information into space might as well be as it is  as a telly areial. then again if you are in an area that has poor reception the directional ones are just as useless.

me I'm buying the sat kit from maplins,

Best place for a Status Aerial is the wheelie bin, total & utter rubbish, go sort yourself out a sat dish & tripod

I've had them on some of my vans and found they were very good - sometimes worked better on low, sometimes on high, depending on where we were.

Looking for something to use now as my little van hasn't got one and I really cannot be bothered with ones that go on great tall poles and have to be clamped to the A frame. Have enough to do when setting up/packing away.

Pardon my troglodyte-like ignorance but would a satellite dish aslo pick up the signal from a land based transmitter such as Winter Hill ?

No, I'm afraid not, different frequencies altogether.
