Review: Had read that putting it on to a metal surface is good so, being in the kitchen - May 2015 update. Had this since October 2014 and have used it all over the UK when caravanning. Never failed to get a good picture, far easier than the caravan aerial, not having to point in the transmitter direction and gets better reception. At Coniston Caravan Club site this last weekend and found it gave better reception and as least as many channels as the site bollard boosting connection. Going to but another one for my laptop in the study so I can watch/record TV. Bought this thinking at this price I've nothing to lose. Connected it up in the kitchen to an Avtex L187DRS TV which we use for our camping trips, no signal. Had read that putting it on to a metal surface is good so, being in the kitchen, I placed it (as you do) on an empty olive oil tin! Instant picture and good quality. Then took TV and aerial out to our VW California camper-van and plugged the TV into 12 volt socket for power and put the aerial onto the windscreen pillar. Powered up and immediately got good quality pictures on all the channels. Looking forward to trying it out in anger, as they say, but so far it looks like a very good acquisition and at this price a steal. desertcart more than usual great service, Ordered at 1:00 pm Saturday arrived following day, Sunday, at 10:30 am and this was on First Class delivery/ two working days. Well done.
Review: Excellent Buy - This is probably the best indoor Freeview aerial I have bought. Over the years I've used many different types and brands for the TV in the bedroom and this seems to be the most reliable in terms of keeping the signal. A lot is down to positioning and it pays to move it around to find the best place to put it. I live in an area that has very good reception so I obviously can't comment on how it would work in areas where the reception isn't so good. I like the magnetic base. It's very strong and means you can position the aerial in places others wouldn't have gone which helps to find the best spot for optimal signal. Good price. I would happily buy again if needed in the other rooms.
