DAB & FM aerials

I am in the process of buying a DAB aerial and FM aerial for chimney mounting, to be used with either a DAB/FM tuner or something like the Revo Inox.

The FM is a folded dipole type and the DAB is a dipole type both of which can be mounted either horizontally or vertically, I did not want a directional aerial as I appear to get decent signals on my normal DAB and FM portables.

Does anyone have any idea which transmitters are used for the Liverpool area for National DAB and FM? I have the location for Radio City, BBC Merseyside and Juice Fm transmitters.

I need a website that will give me information on whether the aerials should be vertically or horizontally mounted.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers - Harryo
