The current aerial on the chimney works fine for the standard 5 channels but can’t do freeview at all so I’m looking at installing my own.
May see what the signal is like in the loft first and if it’s too bad then take it outside.
The how-to side of things is covered by the readers digest DIY manual but I’m not entirely sure on the To Buy list.
Is a 52 element aerial worth £10 more than a 48 element (£12 and £23 repectively)
Do I need a strength meter or can I drag a small tv and freeview receiver up into the loft to check the direction and number of channels recieved etc?
what do i need in the way of connectors for aerial -> splitter then onto 4 TV's?
any other specialist tools needed?
