I have tried googling this but I got very confused. Thanks!

    If are not too far from a transmitter you might be able to get a signal with an indoor set top aerial.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.
  • no a set top aerial won't work. I thought their would be a TV with freeview wifi built in or a small device that would enable me to easily do this!

    Catch up on shows you missed with BBC iPlayer and Demand 5. Stay up-to-date with Sky News and BBC News. And add awesome apps like Facebook, Spotify and Vimeo. They’re already loaded so just turn on your TV to get watching
  • Alternatively, look at the post you made four minutes earlier in the Wanna Buy it or Do it board.

    Get a TV aerial installer out or a handyman and have an extra aerial cable added. You don't need it to be fixed to the wall or anything, just the cable with a socket on it. Takes less than 30 minutes to do in most houses. They just splice the extra cable onto the main aerial.
