you can go on the http://www.freeview.co.uk/home web site and find out the signal strength in your area. you could also try an indoor digital ariel which work well with freeview. Argos give a 16 day moneyback guarantee so if it didn't help you haven't lost anything.

Have you tried it with your normal TV aerial?
If you can receive Channel 5, you SHOULD get Digital TV.
If it works, then get a splitter and amplifier, and run a coax up stairs.
I tried a Digital aerial in the loft, and NOTHING!

You will need to go back into the loft and take the aerial and mount it outside. I tried installing my aerial in the loft, but did not get any reception, so I installed it outside and the reception is brilliant now.

Daft question but can you get freeview in your area? Check on the BBC web site.
