From my experience the 330 /335 Omni directional aerial are ok , if you in an area where the signal from one transmitter, is far more powerful then any other transmitted signals that can be received
However they suffer from a ghosting , can send the AFC on sets wandering all over the place ,and trees are not their best friends
The 530 being directional, can be position correctly for Horizontal or vertical, are very good
If you have smart phone download Aerial alignment free app
It show you the nearest and best transmitters available ,where every you are, its direction , if it is horizontal or vertical . Couple the 530 with a VP3 amplifier, with strength meter ,and i have been on a number of sites where TV signal was not supposed to be receivable, yet the combination has worked perfectly well

Why bother with any of those so-called caravan antennas?
A standard cheap TV antenna mounted on a simple pole and pointing in the correct direction/orientation will always perform far better, especially if you plug it directly into the TV.
