    Tv Aerial

    Hey Guys,

    Ive just got a sony KDL32D3000. Now i cant get a really good signal in my room for the freeview tuner

    I was looking at this http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...=46230&doy=4m7

    Would it be better? Also would i just be able to attach it to the wall outside beside my bedroom window? Or does it have to go up on the chimmney?

    Thanks for your help guys. I just want a good signal and get all my freeview signals

    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 can get 8 channels. Not including ITV etc. Im using a Bedroom aerial as i cant get access to the rooftop one. Would the above aerial help?

    Thanks

    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

    That is if you have a weak signal from the rooftop.
    What is the distance to your transmitter?
