TV Aerials

Our range of TV aerials covers indoor and portable models for a spare room or a caravan, alongside outdoor and loft aerials for proper Freeview reception. Which one works depends far more on your local signal strength than on the aerial itself, so it is worth checking your area before choosing. Found it cheaper elsewhere? We will match the price.

Indoor or outdoor?

An outdoor or loft mounted aerial will always outperform an indoor one, because height and a clear line of sight to the transmitter matter more than any other factor. Indoor aerials work where the signal is strong, typically in towns within reasonable range of a main transmitter, and they suit a second television, a bedroom or a caravan. If you are in a weak signal area, a valley, or behind a hill, no indoor aerial will fix that and mounting outside is the only reliable answer.

Amplified or passive?

An amplified aerial boosts what it receives, which helps where the signal is weak but present. It cannot create signal that is not there, and in a strong signal area an amplifier can actually make things worse by overloading the tuner, which shows as pixelation on the strongest channels. Start without amplification if your signal is good, and add it only if you have a genuine shortfall. Many amplified models allow the boost to be switched off.

Check your local signal first

Before buying, look up your postcode on a reception predictor to find your nearest transmitter, its direction and the expected strength. That tells you whether you need a modest indoor aerial or a directional outdoor one, and which way to point it. It also tells you whether your transmitter is horizontally or vertically polarised, which decides whether the aerial elements should sit flat or upright. Getting the polarisation wrong loses a great deal of signal.

Positioning and pointing

Height first, then direction, then polarisation. Indoors, a window facing the transmitter is usually the best position, and moving an aerial half a metre can change reception noticeably, so retune and check signal strength as you experiment. Keep the aerial away from other electronics, and be aware that LED lighting and some power supplies generate interference that can affect a nearby indoor aerial.

5G and 4G interference

Mobile networks transmit close to television frequencies, and in some areas that now causes patchy reception or the loss of specific channels where none existed before. An in-line 5G or 4G filter fitted between the aerial and the television removes those frequencies. If reception has worsened recently without any change to your setup, this is the first thing worth trying.

Connections and cable

Use properly screened coaxial cable, and keep the run as short and direct as practical, since every metre and every joint costs a little signal. Make coaxial connections carefully, with the braid neatly folded back and no stray strands touching the centre core, as that is the commonest cause of a sudden complete loss. If you are feeding several rooms, split the signal after amplifying it rather than before.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will an indoor aerial work where I live?
It depends on your local signal rather than the aerial. Indoor aerials work in towns within reasonable range of a main transmitter. In weak signal areas, valleys or behind hills, mounting outside or in the loft is the only reliable option.

Do I need an amplified aerial?
Only if the signal is weak but present. An amplifier cannot create signal that is not there, and in a strong area it can overload the tuner and cause pixelation. Start without amplification and add it only if there is a genuine shortfall.

Which way should the aerial point?
Towards your nearest suitable transmitter, which a postcode reception predictor will identify along with its polarisation. Horizontal polarisation means the elements sit flat, vertical means upright. Getting polarisation wrong loses a lot of signal.

Why has my reception suddenly got worse?
If nothing in your setup has changed, mobile 4G or 5G interference is a common cause, since those transmissions sit close to television frequencies. An in-line filter between aerial and television usually resolves it.

Can one aerial feed several televisions?
Yes, using a splitter, though splitting weakens the signal to each outlet. For three or more points, or a marginal signal, use a distribution amplifier and split after amplifying rather than before.

Why did I lose all signal after fitting a plug?
Usually a stray braid strand touching the centre core, which shorts the feed. Fold the braid back neatly, keep it clear of the core, and check the connection before blaming the aerial.
