Freeview Box PC TV Card Question ??

Jon_C

I've posted a more general message elsewhere in this forum about a £25 digital aerial (with booster) that worked wonders for my Freeview box.

strange thing is....
I actually bought that TV card myself the other day !
I have a good digital aerial which I bought a while back (this one here ) but I am now back to square 1 asthe tv card only managed to pick up a few channels. The signal here is just not strong enough I called an engineer to see how much to have a decent aerial installed outside but he said £130 so its back to dvd's in the bedroom for now.

Sorry mandi but if you think that you have a "good digital aerial" you are kidding yourself!



Aerial like that are only suitable if you can look out of your window and see the transmitter or are fairly close to it.

:rolleyes:

What aerial does this website suggest that you need?

These PCTV cards do work very well but only if you provide sufficient signal to them.

Oh Man !!
Says i need Extra Hi Gain for one transmittor and Amplified extra hi-gain for the other ! boohoo never mind... I give up for now.
