No such thing as a " Digital Aerial " you just require an aerial that is capable of receiving adequate signal for your TV to function properly.

Make sure they are connected correctly, then run install from the menu.

What kind of aerial are you plugging into the box? Is it just a cable that comes out of the wall (probably connected to an aerial in the loft)? Or is it just a small aerial sat on top of the tv?

My aerial is in the loft and my signal is fine but then again I live in an area where there is good reception. The best thing to do is to look at the surrounding houses and if they have outside aerials then it is probable that you will need an outside aerial as well.

pedantic

I know this might seem condescending but it isn't meant to be,but have you connected the boxes to your tv's via the scart connector as most of them do not have an rf output and need to be connected via the scart connector.
Good luck !!
