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?
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.
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
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.
