Dudes,

OK, so I have freeview going nicely in my main telly without any issues.

So I have purchased this Samsung LCD TV here

Along with this Philips DTR220 freeview box here

And this digtal One For All SV9360 aerial here

So I connect it all up and cannot get any digital TV or radio channels.

I've checked the connections over and over...

Can anyone help me?

    Anyways ~ in answer
    Id say the cheap cr*p aerial your using just isnt good enough to pick up a signal (Or a good enough signal should I say)
    You really should use a proper roof aerial and plug straight into the back of your tv
