Freeview indoor aerial

I just got freeview via a pacific PSTB1 box and I had some problems with image breaking on itv and bbc channels, but moving the box from the bottom of the cabinet to on top of the tv solved the problem

I forgot to mention that I use a cheap indoor aerial and i'm insight of winter hill.

Get a booster then. This is good for 3.99, cost me about 15 and well worth it. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/5344228.htm

I know all that, but Waltham reaches up into the fringes of the Peak District so someone in a stone's throw (Leicester) should be OK.

That said, there's a massive hill here so I can only get Belmont which is further, and Yorkshire not Central. Still, i know all the gossip as far as the yorkshire inbreds can see it lol.

Wolfbane can be very.. conservative with its judgements. Generally, it's better to use common sense, set the right AGL and look at the figures.
