Hi Gents,
Currently, I have freeview in my home, via the Living room television with built in tuner. I would like to buy another Television; but this time, I have no aerial for this television upstairs. I would like to know if I could buy an aerial suited for freeview and install it in my loft. I am under the assumption if I can receive Freeview, I will be alright. Also, if all this is possible, could you recommend a good aerial?
The results will tell you what kind of aerial is required for your location. Tell us what it recommends and we can advise you whether that means a loft-mounted aerial will work or not.

I would think the TV downstairs is receiving Freeview from the aerial on the roof.

It may well be. But he said:

Before we can answer that, we need to know what Freeview reception is like in his area. The results of the Wolfbane predictor will contain that information.

Re: Freeview aerial?
If you're signal strength is good enough a loft aerial should work, or if your upstairs set is close to the existing cable run you could split the cable and use your existing aerial to feed both sets.
