Freeview with indoor set top aerial
 
Would I be able to view freeview via a set top indoor aerial? Want a
2nd TV in the dinning room unable to get an outdoor aerial so using a
set top.
Cheers

If analogue reception is extremely good with the set-top aerial (no snow,
perhaps minor speckling) you might get away with it, though it could still
be susceptible to interference from nearby electrical appliances.

£20 so worth the gamble

My local Asda had their 20 quid STB on display by the front door, with a set
top aerial pointing through the glass. Mind you the transmitter can be seen
standing at ground level in the car park, so that's an exceptional case.

I watch and record Freeview via a "One For All" powered indoor aerial. I
do live quite close to Sutton Coldfield and Lichfield, though.

The placement of TV indoor aerials is very "fussy", in my experience. If you
don't get good reception the first time; try the set in different positions,
or the aerial in different positions, using an extension lead.

Yes I used to mess about like that when I had one, but that's only going to
work with analogue as the differences in reception are immediately visible.

Would I be able to view freeview via a set top indoor aerial?

Yes. But it might require fiddling with the aerial orientation frequently.

I use an amplified (36dB) aerial with loop and antennae and it works on
most freeview channels, and I'm in a real blackspot regarding signal
strength!

Cheers,

Al.
