I am looking for recommendations for a TV antenna which picks up digital freeview channels without too much messing about. By that I mean one that you basically just plug in and that's it, not all that hold it there, left a bit, right a bit polava.

Thanks for any help,

Mike

You wont find one. Freeview is reliant upon the transmitter that is nearest you so you will still need to point it in the right direction. I had a freeview tuner for my laptop and used both a normal ariel and an amplified one, and of the 4 visits to Cornwall was only able to get reception once that could be called acceptable.

You managed to get Freeview reception in Cornwall? You must have been stood on top of the transmitter!
