freeview reception problem

hi,
I have a usb freeview (it comes with small indoor anthena) that I use it with my laptop.

It worked fine but now I've move to a new place where and doesn't get ANY channels at all.

So what can I do to boost the signal and get some reception please?
(I can't use outdoor anthena)

thank you

    Suppose you could try an amplified indoor aerial, however they are mostly about as good as a bent coat hanger, if you have access to the loft space you could put an aerial up there.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Hi,

    Go & look at http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/postcodechecker/ see whether your area recieves freeview.

    Without a good signal and/or an external aerial, you are basically stuffed in all probability.

    The only true test is wait until you actually move.
