TV Fox - Fact or Fiction?

Anyone else having this advert pop-up on their browser?

Is it fact or fiction that this could be used in the UK?

I have not heard of any "law" that forces VM to transmit a low power broadcast signal that this "magical" device can pick up several miles away.

Looks like one almighty con to me:

Re: TV Fox - Fact or Fiction?

There is a comment that some people have ordered it but not received anything yet. It was claimed that it could work in the USA as the apparently the cable channels are also transmitted over the air as well.

Re: TV Fox - Fact or Fiction?

Sounds like a DTT receiver to me. Though it looks like a motorhome.

Re: TV Fox - Fact or Fiction?

Looks like a information gathering scheme to me, what can this do that a dtv ariel can't do?

It is an amplified indoor aerial, so basically a sub optimal method of receiving DTT.

Re: TV Fox - Fact or Fiction?

I've got one of these
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Digital-I...YAAOSwLdNZxhXU
Works remarkably well on the bedroom TV - actually mine came from a charity shop for 50p minus the base, and I'm guessing it's a rehash of the loop that portables used to have

Re: TV Fox - Fact or Fiction?

For a DTT aerial, the advertising is totally misleading (although of course you can eliminate your cable TV bill by moving to a Free TV platform):
