... and you may need a high-gain ariel. Good luck.

I dont think you will need a high gain aerial in the springpark area but you will definately need a wideband one.

Now you can actually get digital terrestrial set top aerials and I heard they are quite good on signal strength.

Hope this helps.

I agree with that last post, the angle of the aerial can affect the reception of Film Four, but don't ask me why.

Would go for an outdoor aerial in Springpark as the reception in that area is terrible anyway for the analogue aerials

Im sure Alacam were recommending that for best reception to get the 88 or so channels

Just a thought but no expert

Freeview is really a hit or a miss in good reception depending on were u are your better with satelite to get best quality reception.
