OK, I bought a new telly recently.  It's apparently got "DVB T" built in - I think that's freeview.  I only learned this today, even though I've had the telly a month :burt:

I checked my area - I can get Freeview.

I think all I need is a new aerial.  What price should I pay for Rod Hull to come and fix me up?

Get it external. My dad paid £80 I believe for them to upgrade the aerial and move it from the loft to  outside.

I always thought that was important, but apparently not, according to the clever gadgey who fixed up Vallium Towers. its down to the *quality* of teh aerial. We're miles from anywhere and have 1 internal aerial which serves 10+ rooms. He's also done an internal aerial which serves an entire village. Tr00F!!!111!!

Aye. People now pay a fortune for blurry pixcellated flat screen tellys.

We're only a short hop from Emley Moor and my signal quality's crap in bad weather.  I need a better quality aerial.  Are you able to recommend one, Mr teh Y?

We don't get all the FV channels and I believe it is down to not having a High Gain aerial... one of those purchases I have never managed to get around to......
