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.

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.

Thanks for that. Just seen some bargains freeviews sets at Asda under
£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.

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!
