TBH, we get half decent reception, but if you shuffle the box around a bit (rest on a few dvds, move forwards/backwards etc - it's hanging off the front of the video recorder at the mo!) then you can get much better reception.....
Just shuffle your box around a bit - we can even use the red button on news 24 now!
we're about 20 miles from Emley Moor Mast too.... (if that has any bearing on anything!!)0 -

For freeview what you need depends on your proximity to the transmitter - try putting your postcode into this website to see what it says:

Look at the last box on the line of data which comes up.
You will probably need a roof aerial fitting though.0 -

Hi
Mine says i need a "set top antenna" - i assume thats just an indoor aerial.
Although on the second row, it says the suggestion is "log periodic" of which i have no idea what it means.0 -
Log periodic is a type of wider bandwidth aerial (presumably some of your channels are widely spaced). In looks, the aerial elements taper in length from one end of the aerial to the other, instead of nearly all the same size.0

Thanks - are they easily available? - It's just a set top antenna which is shaped like a "triangle" (apologies for the lack of terminology!) isn't it or does it go on the roof?0 -
go to bbc home page,type in TV Transmitters,then follow the links you will end up in your region where you can click on either analogue or digital tv, from there it will give you details on transmitters,channels, power and the aerial group required and its polarisation. A log periodic aerial is used to cover the WHOLE of the tv band ie channels 21-68, 21 being the 'long' elements 68 being 'short',but you can buy an aerial to cover 21-37 or 37-68 Log perodic aerial will only work in a really strong signal strength area.never put off buying a bargain today,it may be gone tomorrow0
