as i dont have any connection to the cummunal digital aerail as yet for the time being would an indoor one work i live in central london if so which sort should i get?

It depends, how far are you from the transmitter ?

Punch your postcode into this, and it will tell you how far away you are, and which is your nearest transmitter.

Bear in mind though, there can be other factors that can interfere with a good signal.

with being in central london tv aereil's can be a pain due to the high building around. u may have a choice of what transmitter u can use depends on where u are.

Crystal Palace is the main 1 for london u best bet would to pester the company who maintains it to get u wired up to the cummunal system.

or to play with find a argos and if it dont work u can always take it back if u do go the route Crystal Palace will come under a A group if u wish to go for any other transmitter then u will need a wideband

thankyou for your replies.. im not too sure if i understand your reply iain what is find a argos and what do you mean by hook me up to a cummunial. do you mean the cummunial on the top of my block of falts that i live.

if u goto argos http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st...o.x=15&go.y=12

u can get a aerial and see if u can get ur freeview to work if u cant u can take it back within 16 days.

but this would be better
somewhere in ur flat will be a wall socket for ur cummunal digital aerail if there isnt call up who ever u rent from and tell them u want connected to it the landlord has a duty to provide each flat with atleast 1 way to recive digital signals

do u know how old the system is in ur building

iain the aerial is not that old maybe a couple of years at the most. i tried my box in a neighbours flat and it worked. the reason i still think i am connected to ntl virgin media is that up to wed i was getting chanel 5 and sky 1 since today sky 1 has been replaced with hallmark. yes i have a socket in the wall. i have 2 aereil sockets in my flat and neither of them will let me get freeview. i spoke to the landlords and they say for me to get a picture i must be connected/ virgin media swear blind i have been dissconnected a friend next door has ntl and a few days ago i had no tv for a few hours and she told me ntl had a prolem at that time cause she also didnt have any tv.
