Are you saying that you can get freeview, but not all channels? Where is the aerial you're using now? i.e. roof, bedroom.
If you can get some but not all or just have poor signal quality on some channels then just buy a booster box. Plug it into the mains and you're sorted. |

I would think it will help, but I personally would spend my time finding a way to get the rooftop aerial into your room. The rooftop aerial will gave a far better signal and channel range.

If you are going to spend that kind of money and since it is a good tv I would make the extra effort to get to your rooftop antenna and replace it with this Televes Aerial DAT45
with the MRD and PSU http://www.tracsat.co.uk/catalog/tel...t45-p-118.html That is if you have a weak signal from the rooftop. What is the distance to your transmitter?
