I'm not familiar with this site, but it might be worth checking if they provide an aerial feed to the EHU post, if the reception is known to be poor; that way you can just supply a cable to link up.
Alternatively, ToolStation do a cheap'ish TV aerial with brackets, mast etc. This is a standard domestic aerial, but bundled with a mast/hardware etc to mount onto the 'A' frame of your caravan.
Note that there isn't really such thing as a 'digital aerial', although some aerials are packaged as being 'digital ready'.
Grade UK/Status also do a range of touring aerials too, click here. These can be a fair price though for what they are.
There have been reviews and comments of the smaller Avtex device, however these do rely on a fairly decent signal to start off with. Considering the information from the site, I suspect you need a reasonable aerial.
Finally, if you opt for an externally mounted aerial, I would suggest you invest in a decent quality signal strength meter too. Fringe Electronics do an excellent UHF TV Signal Finder, and these really do make setting up the aerial an absolute doddle.
I'll sit back now and await the satellite brigade to appear ...

we bought a tv ariel from argos. extension poles that fit together to extend to whatever height you need and a bracket that fits to A frame at front of caravan. we have also seen people with brackets that fit in awning rail. nail 6" nail into ground next to your A frame and below your bracket. first section of pole fits over 6" nail and nail prevents ariel slipping sideways. gently hammer first section down into soil if you want it more secure. fit other sections. top one will have ariel fitted on it. turn to locate sat and you are set up. have some baling string and tent pegs handy for if you are in a windy exposed position.( red baling string and a few tent pegs fold away to nothing ) use red string and pegs to secure ariel to prevent it turning. gent in suffolk showed me this one. this set up has guaranteed us tv over the years.no matter where we go. never fails.
