I bought a freeview hd box but there's no ariel in the room.

So I was wondering whether one of those in-door ariels would do the trick.

 

The freeview box is:

& is connected to one of those old CRT TV's

 

I want something which will do the trick at a cheap price (maybe a good review to it's name & say around £10 mark).

Anyone offer any insight on this forum? thanks.

You need to be in a very strong signal area firstly, and if you are, try this http://www.amazon.co.uk/digiTop-Amplified-Performance-Freeview-Wideband/dp/B001ACV7E0

But check your signal strength first, because if it's not good, you're wasting your time and money.

I would agree on the other readers choice,  I use this one at work for demonstration teaching purposes.  All indoor aerials are a compromise unless living close to transmitter, but these are easily the best I have found so far!

And what is needed is an ‘Aerial’.  Ariel used to be a motorcycle and Hebrew for Angel or Lion of God!

Thanks for improving my vocab,

 

Are the 27770R & 27769r the same? 

 

I found this glistening review of the 27770R:
