So does this mean the current tv tuner is only for analogue

no your tv is only a receiver so unless you have means to provide freeview to it,it will not work.as i said if you have one with built in freeview then you do need a box.you can buy a box at £12 now in somewhere like asda.

Plus... On our Freeview TV there are two different tuning options - Digital or Analogue. The ariel needs to point to either the digital signal or the analogue signal. This website lets you type in a postcode and then gives you the strength and direction of all the signals in the area. You can then print it off before you go and then choose. Perhaps buy a compass first though !

Signal Direction and Strength

Hope this helps,

Thanks for info

Where about on the website to you input your postcode ??

On right hand side at top under My Settings where it says Location. If there is already one there and it says [Clear] Click on that.

On the next screen on left there are various options such as direction, strength etc.

It's not a fantastically user friendly site - probably written by techies ! But has all the info needed !

The link to the site above shows each transmitter, the direction, the strength, whether it's analogue or digital PLUS Horizontal or Vertical ! (H or V) !

can not remember which way round but was told by a tv guy that one way was for a main aerial and the other way was for a sub station.
