Freeview on a 2nd tv without an ariel

C_Ronaldo

Is it possible to watch freeview on a 2nd tv without buying a second freeview box,

penrhyn

yes, you would need a video sender, eghttp://www.argos.co.uk/static/Browse/catalogId/10001/identifier/8162948.htm
Or if your Freeview box has an RF modulator just extend the RF cable to the second TV.
Its probably cheaper to just buy anoter freeview box though.

Doubt it, can you get all channels with an indoor AERIAL with your existing freeview box?

It depends where you live, do you get a signal on the indoor arial with your current freeview box, easier to test it noe than fork out for another box and discover it doesn't work.

We have a freeview box set up to the telly in our study using an indoor ariel which has a signal booster. It sometimes freezes slightly and sometimes I have to retune but on the whole OK. We receive all the channels (apart for the pay to view).

Where does one get a signal booster from, I can get some channels but not ITV/C4/C5/E4.

Argos sell 'em, but you might be better off replacing your aerial.

Here at uni (halls) you have to use indoor aerials as outdoor ones are not avaiable , the analuge signal is very poor however Freeview signal is good though you can't get all the channels.

I can get all the main channels though BBC1/2, ITV, S4C, Five and Channel 4
