Hi folks, does anyone know where we can get one of the outdoor sectional arials for our fc and does anyone know if the reception will be good enough to receive freeview if we get a set top box?  We've heard this might be possible.  Any idea?  Cheers,

Rob & Dawn

Freeview reception depends very much upon your location. The aerials can be obtained from the likes of Towsure. Just ensure that it is a digital one.

I bought one of these from Towsure last week and had great Freeview reception with the amplifier switched on. With it switched off, had no picture.

It does depend where you are if you will get reception or not, check the Freeview website and enter the postcode and that will tell you if you are in a freeview area.

All in all though I am very pleased with the aerial especially as it was placed only two feet off the ground.

This aerial is a very good compromise of size v. performance for analogue and digital signals.

If you have an EHU you could try an indoor aerial type with an inbuilt booster. The one my mother got from Tesco works pretty well.
