Hi hope someone can help,

I have the following aerial:

http://www.skytronic.co.uk/product/index.php?s=120.910

I have just bought a new tv with freeview and tried connecting the aerial up. The signal was poor but got better when I removed the booster unit from the equation.

The aerial was mounted on a 7 foot pole and pointing in the direction of other units aerials.

 

Any suggestions would be apprieciated.

 

Mark

Our 2006 van has the Status directional aerial, and we received very good Freview signals (in Cornwall, channel 5 changed to digital whilst we were there), and this was perfect when the TV switch (DTV button) was turned to digital.

This Status aerial is digital compatible, so I think any digital aerial on a pole would give equally good results, depending on a decent signal for where you are pitched.

Bertie.

Hi Mark
When televisions were just analogue pointing in the general direction to get a signal was often good enough, then tweek it for best reception. But with digital, pointing in the general direction is more often than not, is going to give you no signal. I use one of These to set the aerial up first, then just plug in the tv and auto tune. The aerial I have is one
Like this, but any high gain aerial should give good results.
