im looking for an indoor aerial for freeview
currently using an old loop style one, that has picked up some of the freeview channels, eg bbc3/4, dave

ive seen on some previous threads that a Telecam aerial is recommended, however those threads are now getting old.
Is it still a recommended aerial?

the wolfbane site has 2 transmitters listed

the aerial can go on top of a bookcase, almost on the ceiling, in an upstairs room.

dont automatically think the telecam or any other new indoor table top aerial will be better than your old one.

On analogue, I bought the 9.99 telecam aerial to replace a very old indoor aerial - result? The old one produced a very slightly better picture. Coundnt try them on freeview, as the signal for freeview is far to weak in this "backwater" part of the UK.

Myself, if you cant get all the channels with your old indoor aerial, dont waste your money on a new one - buy a proper aerial for outside instead.
