Digital TV

Hi All,

I live in a Digital TV area and looking for some help & recommendations.

We have a huge antenna on the roof but since Digital TV no longer works but we have SKY digital box which allows watching of TV in the main house.

My question is how do I get digital for tv's in the other rooms of the house (the other TV's have portable antennas that you plugged into the back of the TV). ? and can anyone recommend an indoor/plug into TV antenna ?


All the other TV's in the house are just plugged into standard electricity plug sockets.


I read alittle about portable antennas for digital but have read mixed things so not sure which I should go for, (I came across a few from currys but the reviews on reevoo were not great.)

Thanks in advance

    All the other TV's in the house are just plugged into standard electricity plug sockets. As are most TVs otherwise they would get no power

    Your outdoor aerial should be a lot better than any indoor job.

    Maybe you just need a freeview box for each TV - assuming you are in any area that can receive Freeview and as will-in-estoril says, it's analogue TV that no longer works.

    Do you get a strong enough signal?
