freeview channels and sony play tv query

ih8stress

Just put an old tv with separate freeview box in the bedroom (got an aerial socket in there linked to the outdoor aerial - don't ask me the technicalities, I haven't a clue:D).

It can only find a few freeview channels. (Think this is down to the aerial signal). Tried a different aerial lead and although it found a few more channels they came back as saying 'no signal'.

Happened to get a Sony Play Tv thingy for my son last week but he wasn't keen so I am about to return it. Before I do, would this be likely to find any more channels?
Or (as I would guess), would it just find the same channels as it is down to the actual aerial reception and cabling?

Thanks:)

If the aerials as bad as that, I suspect PLAY wouldnt fair any better

Thanks for replying, Ali:). Looks like a trip to Currys tomorrow to return the play tv. (Pity as it was a bargain price!).

I'll also give the local aerial guy a ring to see what he says.

Beware that if there's no fault, you're not entitled to a refund. The aerial not being up to the job has no bearing.
