No, it is a Signal Strength Meter, check out Maplins etc.;)

The dish is still there, but I'm not a fan of Sky.

You can use the dish to receive Freesat.

The best Freeview aerial is the Vision V10-040 in my experience. It knocks spots off the huge so-called "digital aerials".

Agreed, I was amazed at the performance of this aerial, relative to it's small size.;)

I live in London and I used to use a £1 aerial from Poundland with my freeview box. Once I got the right position it worked fine and I could pick up all the channels.

The 'portable tv aerial problem' is something coming fast over the horizon and Government ministers have only just realised what a time bomb they have waiting to explode here.

There are countless millions of CRT portables currently sitting happily on kitchen worktops, bedside tables etc in homes throughout the country which are suddenly going to fail when the signal is switched off. They quite likely outnumber the 'main tv'.

It'll be no good buying a digibox because there won't be an aerial socket to use and the current generation of indoor aerials are absolute pants.

This issue simply has not been addressed to the best of my knowledge.
