    Indoor digital TV powered antenna

    I live in a flat that has a shared Sky, TV and FM antenna system. The Sky signal is fine but the TV and FM signal is very low. The flat has a distribution system so that all bedrooms get all three signals mixed into a wall outlet.

    I want to try an indoor powered antenna for the TV and FM signals. Can anyone recommned a high quality indoor TV/FM antenna that will provide signals strong enough for Freeview?

    I also have a digital TV tuner card in my PC so will buy another identical antenna for that as this card has recording capabilities that are very useful, but the signal provided by the flat's distribution system is not strong enough to receive a few Freeview channels like Channel 4 for example.

    I use the One for All SV9210 Flat Indoor Antenna . Which is great as you can hide it anywhere. But I gather the Philex SLx Digital Aerialis just as good at half the price... I can't tell you where to find it but see the links below.

    i bought a cheapy powered one from B&Q Warehouse, for about £15, its really rather good. Don't know the brand, but its got a plasticated silver antena, and a base which has the mains transformer built in, a amp power dial, and a blue led in it. Not bad at all, but its a generic brand.

    I got the all-in-one in the end. It wasn't that powerful but I did manage to use the tiny amplifier that comes with it and amplify the distributed signal to plug into my TV card in my PC. Now i've got all the channels that I couldn't get before. The antenna itself wasn't actually used in the end.
