Freeview- through a portable tv?

swizzle_2

Is it possible to get freeview through the normal areail on a portable tv?

Also I have seen this new freeview thing that you just plug into the scart socket-no wires or plugs- I think Bush make it. Are these any good?

Thanks

What do you mean normal aerial?
If you mean the loop aerial thats attached to the TV you need to do a check, go to the window and look out, if you can see the transmitter mast then the loop aerial will be fine.
Freeview signals are much weaker those for Analogue TV, so you generaly need a decent external aerial.
Have seen the Bush scart box but havn't tried one.

We've got one of them freeview scart thingies. Not sure if it's Bush though. It works well with an external aerial - functions same as a normal set top freeview box- ie you need to plug in an aerial into it. Haven't tried it with a loop aerial though.
