Good indoor aerial

Can anyone recommend a good indoor aerial for digital TV. I have a small tv in the kitchen with freeview, but can only pickup a few channels and they tend to freeze a lot of the time. Can anyone recommend an indoor aerial which might give better reception. Thanks.

    The Telecam design is similar to an indoor one (from Tandy=Radio Shack) I have been using for twenty years, which works for Freeview perfectly well!
  • has your area gone digital yet ? you might get a better signal when it does just a thought

    Most decent digital reception requires an external aerial.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    It really is a bit pointless asking this question. Indoor aerials only work well where there is a good strength of signal.
    One person can say that aerial ABC123 is superb, ignoring the fact that they are 2 miles from the transmitter. Someone else buys the same aerial on that recommend, they live 20 miles from the transmitter and they get a lousy/non-existent picture.

    Go to Argos and buy an aerial and try it, if it doesn't work take it back.
