Any way to have TV in a room with no access to ariel/sky dish?

Tracyk_2

eg - a TV with built in ariel? or is that what the freeview box does?

Do you have any access to a TV arial? i.e. is it just your room that doesnt have an ariel point? or is it the whole place that doesnt have an arial point?

Becuase you could a AV Signal sender, wireless ones from Tesco which send the signal around the house.

Or, you could watch t.v. online but I dont know how many channels do this at the moment.

They're my suggestions.
Hope it helps!

You need an aerial ( not ariel ) to watch programmes on a TV, be that normal analogue channels or Freeview ones.

Your location dictates which aerial will be suitable.;)

Thought ariel looked wrong!
I've got Sky and normal aerial in the house - just not near this room. I saw the wireless thing in Tescos - does it really work?

You could run a cable from the RF2 output of your Sky box to your second TV, and use a magic eye to control the Sky Box remotely. Much more reliable than a wireless sender.

Tesco's sold them last time I looked.

There is nothing wrong with Ariel, gets my clothes nice and clean:rotfl:

we use the tristar AV sender from Argos:

Works fine. Not as good a picture quality as from the box itself, but nice and easy to use.
Note, it didnt work with the old NTL remote though.
