Aerial question

Yeah yeah, phone / spell checker, sorted now.

Sorry, couldn't resist!

The aerial should be adequate. If you get a lot of signal issues ( picture freeze / break up etc) you may find a bigger aerial works.

Or a masthead amplifier.

We had the opposite with the digital system, it was fine when they were running on 'reduced power' but as soon as the switchover was complete and they turned the transmitter up we had to have a dropper attenuator plugged in-line as the signal off the antennae was too high.

They also amplify the noise, unless they are at the top end of the price range.

Should be fine. If it's not, you'll soon know when you can't watch Coronation Street.

You can be so cruel

Mine was cheap and works just fine.

Will this aerial work with a digital TV Freeview, Now box or similar, or will it need an analogue/digital converter thingy?

Yes, provided it's pointed in the right direction.

Replaced the ariel at our caravan last year as it fell to bits. Was there before digital. Anyway, gone from getting Winter Hill, to Wales, Isle of Mann and Winter Hill - fortunately the TV can select region.

At home in South Manc, we get Wales and Winter Hill. The old telly would get confused as you couldn't stop the Welsh chanels - had to pull the ariel out of the TV so it only just got Winter hill.
