Indoor ariel for freeview box

[shelley2]

Can anyone recommend a good indoor ariel for a freeview box - i dont have a very good reception in my room and cant get any channels on freeview - i know there are ariels i can buy - just wanted to know anyones opinion on a good indoor one for a place with not too good reception and i have checked that i am in a freeview area- thanks

They don't work. You need an external ariel really to get a decent reception. An extension to an existing roof mounted ariel is only a few quid dearer than an internal one to buy.

If possible you should definitely fit a correctly aligned and polarized TV antenna externally, preferably as high as you can. Alternatively if you have an existing outdoor antenna with a co-ax cable leading indoors, you could plug that into a distribution amplifier and then have several cable outputs to various rooms. Amps are easily available from Argos etc. If the catalogue quotes a 'dB gain' figure then go for the highest figure, ie 6dB would be three times more powerfull than a 3dB gain model. Hope this helps.

They certainly do work. I live in a rubbish signal area and I have one stored in a wooden box, underneath the tv in the bedroom. I spotted it at ASDA. One of their own bran type ones in a yellow and black box. Can't remember the make. Works fine.
