>>>‘Rabbit ears’ antennae were never really much of a thing in the British Isles. Rather there would be a rooftop aerial which would, until relatively recently, have got you 5 or 6 channels.<<<

Reminds me of a story my father used to tell, about how when he was a kid and the radio reception invariably got scratchy during the best part of a boxing match, he'd be sent up to the roof to adjust the antenna and would frequently be told to just stay put as they'd no doubt be sending him up again anyway.
