Indoor Aerial for Freeview

heatherw_01

I need a new indoor aerial suitable for my freeview box. I struggle to get good reception in my house so I might need an amplified one.

Cheap but decent wanted.

It's not easy to tell you what to buy without checking signal strenths, but for starters you could put your postcode in here:

And post up what aerial it recommends at the end of the line.

Thanks for that, but I think that is recommending external aerial's.

When we moved into our new house we got someone to come round and fit a digital aerial properly. He did a great job, and we get freeview with no problem. Someone across the road, heard of our success and tried to fit a digital aerial themselves....they now have sky

Did it say, "normal", "high gain" "amplified hi gain" etc?

heatherw_01

It said standard

I'm in a poor reception area . For me it said "amplified extra hi gain".

That's good. You'll have some chance of an indoor aerial working. Know anyone with one you can borrow to try?

Otherwise try one from argos and take it back if it doesn't work?

I have one at the moment but it is old and fiddly.

I could get one for argos etc and see if it works well.

Thanks

This is the one I'd try as the others look too gimmicky for me.

Or there are amplified ones at the same price, but I have one of the same model and am not too impressed with it.
