Indoors Aerial.... with weak signal.. hence the aerial..

Hey,

TV reception is rubbish in my area.. hence the only reason we got sky!! Anyways... the portable TV's in the bedroom is rubbish! I've been looking about and most aerials are only suitable for strong reception areas!! (what's the point??!!)

Can anyone recommend a good aerial at a good price???

Thx

    Indoor aerials are only successful in areas of high signal strength. So are useless in your situation.
    You might get away with an aerial in the loft, but an external aerial will always give better results.
    Another way round would be to pipe the Sky signal into your bedroom by running a coax lead from the RF2 output on the sky box to the bedroom, get a Sky Link magic eye and you can control the Sky Box from the bedroom.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
