no aerial

[dave113]

I got a new lcd tv for my bedroom and their is no aerial socket in there. I also have a freeview box and this is what I will be watching. What is the best/cheapest way to connect it? Is it worth trying an indoor aerial?
I saw this one is it and good?

Depends on where you are.


Indoor aerials are often pretty crap for Freeview, unless you happen to live fairly near the transmitter.


The best way to connect is always with a proper external aerial.


It's not the cheapest way, though.


You could try an indoor aerial & a booster, to start with, but don't be surprised if you don't get any decent reception.

We live miles away from the Freeview Transmitter (The one we use is on the Isle of White - and there is a large volume of water between here and there) and up until I mounted a High-gain Aerial in the attic (I say mounted - it's laid across a couple of boxes, but works great ;)) We were using a Philips DVB Indoor Aerial with Integrated Booster from Argos, it sat on my Window sil and worked great :)

Thanks guys, I think I will try getting an aerial + booster to begin with as you surjest. According to this I am between 2 freeview aerials: http://www.ukfree.tv/txdetail.php?a=SZ447865
I must live close to you zeph! I live in Worthing near brighton, its inbetween the isle of white aerial and brighton one and there seems to be some cross over between them so I might be ok. :)
