Aerials

The indoor aerials we recommend should be widely available. Before you commit though, ask if it is OK to return the aerial if it does not work in your home. Don’t buy from anywhere that will not give you a full refund if you need to bring it back.

Buy one of our cheaper recommended models first see best indoor aerials. If there’s still room for improvement, go back for one with an amplifier to boost the signal. See checking channels.

Don’t be swayed by aerials that have two telescopic rods, as well as the TV aerial part. These are designed for FM radio – you won’t need this as digital TV carries all the major national radio stations as well.

Buying your indoor aerial is only a first step. In this section we guide you through getting things up and running smoothly. Start by going to tuning.
