Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Name Dropper
We had a TV in the bedroom and downstairs, the one in the bedroom had a freeview box and the one in the living room had a BT vision box.

Digital switchover happened and the one in the bedroom no longer works.

We are looking at getting sky in Feb, so haven't bothered with the changing of the aerial on the roof to get the bedroom tv working, we've just left it.

Looking at getting DD a tv for her room for xmas, however we have no Ariel in her room, would a small 7in portable tv with built in Ariel and freeview work?
Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....

    7 inches, is on the small side.

    All depends on the signal quality/distance from transmitter, a set top aerial might work, something built into a 7" might not, have you tried rescanning the existing one
