DAB indoor signal boosting

Options
Hi, I have a DAB radio and live in an area that has reasonable DAB coverage but I live a property with thick walls (a converted church) that means the DAB signal indoors is poor. Is there anything I can do to boost or source the signal from elsewhere ? Can I use my internet connection or TV aerial to to propagate DAB signal or something similar ? Any advice gratefully received !

Thanks

    I bought an aerial off amazon for my mini system. It works, but only when placed near a window and the wire could do with being a bit longer. Does the trick though. Cost about a tenner if I remember rightly.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    If the radio has an aerial socket, the obvious thing to do is increase the size, height, or vary the position of, the aerial.

    As elsien says, place it in the window rather than the room. Or if you can, connect the radio via cable to an external aerial on the roof or an internal one in the loft.
