Low wind load
One type of aerial which is excellent for this is the Log Periodic TV aerial. These come in a number of sizes from the mini log measuring 40cm in length to the larger version at approximately 1 meter in length. These design of aerial are ideal for Freeview as they will pick up frequencies from 21 through to 60 Wideband or up to channel 48 & Frequency: 470-786MHz if a K-band version. Either version will work in the UK.
Reliability
There are many different types of TV aerial to choose from, but as long as it is designed to receive the wideband signal, then it will be compatible with the signal on which Freeview is transmitted. The only thing to decide is if it is going outside on in a loft space. If it is going to be externally fitted, then going for the log periodic antenna would be my recommend to you.
