Indoor Aerial Help ?

Hi all

I have got a panasonic tv with bult in freeview which works brilliantly with
an outdoor aerial.

However when I connect it to the indoor aerial in the conservatory only BBC1
ans BBC2 channels work.
The other channels say no dvb signal.

Why is this? Are the BBC signals stronger than those of ITC etc?

Also what is the best indoor aerial to use for freeview reception?

Thanks

you said it - it's simply that not enough signal is making it through - easy
way to tell is to check out some analogue tv - chances are it will look
rather fuzzy with the indoor aerial.
i find indoor aierials are much of a muchness - unless you have a strong
local signal you may not have a lot of luck.

What he says is about right. Some mux's are stronger than others on
some transmitters, also depends on frequency used ans whether the
boadcaster uses 16QAM or 64QAM, one being more robust than the other.
The best indoor aerial i've come across is the Antiference Silver
Sensor. If that don't work, then you have no chance.

The BBC transmits in a more robust way so this may be a contributing
factor. Digital TV is broadcast on 6 MUXs at 6 different frequencies.
Each of these frequencies will be effected differently by walls, water
pipes, electrical cables and even your presence within the room.

Unless you live within spitting distance of the transmitter no indoor
aerial is suitable for reliable Freeview reception but see

Am I right in thinking that the BBC's transmissions post DSO will be
changed to the less robust way?

Well, I thought finally the idea of the indoor aerial was buried as it
should be, but it seems not.

Yes, all six muxes will adopt 64QAM

Yes, all six muxes will adopt 64QAM

But will the transmission power be increased as compensation?

Yes, by 7 to 10dB, but I think the compensation is round the other way !

Wasn't there also some talk of changing the carrier mode which will have
some benefits for the robustness of reception?
