sorry to jump onto your thread but i bought a tv(built in freeview) for upstairs and have yet to watch it.. i thought it would be a case of just plug it it and away cos of the built in channels but it says no signal.. i tried using the ariel off my daughters telly and it still says no signal!! i gave up in the end and it just sits on the dressing table.. but looking through the threads i thought someone could advise me what i need to buy please..

You need a good aerial for Freeview. I had to change mine.

Honestly it's the aerial, my old aerial only pulled in ITV and BBC, smashing picture but it would not pull in any Freeview channels, you are probably in a bad area like me anyway and need the extra oomph.

He is being serious, a little portable aerial may pick up analogue pictures but to get digital reception you need a decent aerial preferably outside.

My son has an indoor aerial that can pull the Freeview channels in, he is in a good area though, quite high up. I suggest you run a cable extension from your roof aerial, just join some aerial cable on to your existing one.
