Can anyone recomend an indoor ariel capable of receiving a freeview signal?

If not does anyone use those digi senders? can you change the channel from another room?


Thanks,
MSME

You can get indoor aerials which will use a booster to get a good signal for digital.
Just pop into a local TV shop or even argos or tesco...

I bought one of these booster aerials from argos and it did not work, so I found an old indoor one lying in the attic and now have the best picture ever.

Try Colin Chessor - he will make sure that the system fits your requirements and can set it all up for you

Some of them do work.. I knew someone who had one and got most of the channels but they opted for the outdoor aerial and i put it in the loft for them. Now they get all channels and the aerial was knackered lol... It still worked fine tho [lol]

aerials with boosters are called log periodic .if they are set right they are great .if you install your own use a 48 or 52 element aerial you will get one from argos /homebase etc .the more elements the better chance of getting all channels

I got digi senders out of argos and they are great for other rooms where you watch t.v and yes you can change the channels . easy to set up too

Also have out door ariel in loft and gets freeview channels no bother.

Thanks for all the replies.

I have a loft ariel which works fine the reason for asking was for a tv in the spare room (no ariel socket).

Looks like digi senders may be the way to go.

Minnie which ones did you get?

Thanks Again,
