Indoor TV aerials

I am confused by what I read about which indoor aerial to buy for a spare room 22" Widescreen Freeview TV. Can anyone advise which work well and which to avoid?

    whether it will work at all or how well depends on where you live, where your transmitter is, how powerful the transmitter is, whether you have foil-lined plasterboard walls in your house, and a lot of other things we have no way of knowing.

    Don't buy it from somewhere that doesn't have a return policy.

    Indoor aerials rarely work unless you can physically see the transmitter. Even then there are so many variables as to make them impractical for most installs. I guess Argos would be a first start as you can then take it back readily. However, a bit of quality RG6 cable and splitter/booster to your down lead would be a much more of a permanent fix.

    Above is a superb source of information on the subject. Not sure whether the forum will allow the posting of such a site.
