Right. earlier i bought a sagem digital tv receiver. Its not picking anything up though, and i think this may be because i dont have an ariel. If i were to buy a cheap ariel and plug it in am i right in thinking all will be well with the world?

Should be, depends on the area. If your area has a weak signal, you may need a better aerial. Check yourself on here http://www.freeview.co.uk/availabilityStrangely, I seem to be losing my freeview coverage after the digital switchover. How the feck that works I don't know. |

You'd be far better off getting a decent 'high gain' aerial, you may get lucky with a cheap aerial, but you even if you have enough signal in your area you may still end up getting interference from moped/power tools even light switches. A cheap Ariel will keep your lawn down mind. |

Worth a go, too many variables to judge. I'd be surprised if it worked, but he may live 100 yards from a transmitter. |

Is there not an aerial on the roof of your house?

So there is no tv whatsoever in your house that can pick up an analogue signal?
Just thought you could get a singal splitter and run more than one telly off the main aerial and you'd get a decent reception that way.

you'll have to get a tv license too dave.
try the indoor one, and make sure its a half decent one with a booster.

could be money wasted if it doesn't work.being ahead of me aint a good thing if that is the case.
will they let you fix an outdoor one if the indoor aerial doesn't work?
