Freeview box

I;ve already got one, but the signals are crap to be honest, i dont get ITV channels and Channel 4 becasuse of the bad signal, i have to move the antenna around everywhere.

Even though Im practically next door to the ITV building, could you reccomend the top freeview boxed for under £100. Something that can get all the channels with no signal problems.

Thanks,

    Maybe you just need to realign your aerial or retune your box? My freeview box cost £30 and I have no problems at all
    I haven't got one!

    I picked a Sagem up from Argos a few months back to use on the TV in the bedroom, it was about £25 iirc, it's very good and we live in a poor reception area.

    You may be practically next door to the ITV building but that's not where the signals come from!

    :rolleyes:

    Enter your postcode into this site for more information about where your nearest transmitter is actually located and what type of aerial you should use. No Freeview box will work correctly with insufficient signal and set top aerials are usually a waste of time.
