Portable tv in bedroom with no signal from ariel

Hi Can anyone help please. I have just moved in to rented flat & i cant get any freeview channels on my tv I have tried 3 indoor ariels but i have poor signal. Are there any indoor ariels that would work. I can get 1 - 4 but the channel is very say snowy and not a clear picture at all. I did have freeview for an hour after trying for 4 days but it just went off and has not come back. Are there any solutions please if someone can help i would very much appreciate it.

    Do you have an outside aerial on your main tv?? (if so, can you split the aerial signal and run a cable into your bedroom??)

    You can buy an indoor tv aerial with built in amplification (or buy a tv aerial amplifier) but may not solve your problem. (amplifiers can just make the snow more snowy)
  • Hi

    When it comes to freeview, outdoor aerials are by far the best, loft aerials are a distant second, and set top aerials a distant third. If the first two options aren't available though, the SLX Gold set top box with built in amplifier is just about the best set top aerial on the market. I use it on the digibox in my bedroom with good results.
