Whats the best tv aerial for digital tv?
I have just got a 10in one (ooh er missus) and find digital reception with the supplied magmount pretty poor unless you are parked in a city.
I have looked on the net, and could fit a house antenna to the front of the trailer.
Any advice please?
Have you tried it with a booster. Mine works okay with a booster. I also find it better stuck to the side of the cab and not on the roof.
As for digital reception on the whole it is crap,they don’t seem to point it at service areas.
I find it helps to get the aeriel as far away fror the cab as possible, I think the metal affects the signal in some way. I use a couple of co-ax extension leads.
Where did you get the booster?
Somewhere like Maplins?
Hi mate
I have been reading reviews on the best indoor aerials to buy (for my truck).
Telecam TCE2000 << this one came 1st as being one of the best for reception. Only 9.99 @ Argos.
…
Another that they have been raving about is this one that has a built in amplifier.

19.99 <<< this one can be powered by 12V DC,lead not included for cigarette lighter socket
I will be purchasing one of these although not sure which one yet.
Let me know which one you go for.
With my trailer I can get away with a house antenna, so may try one of those.
Hi mate, If you can get away with a big house aerial I would suggest you do. No comparison in reception so I’ve read.
I’m gonna get the telecam one and I’ll post an update on here as to how good it is when I’ve tried it. I bought one of them dvd freeview tv thingy’s with a 10.4 inch screen the other day off ebay. I tuned it into my terrestrial aerial and the picture/reception is A1.
Anyone who buys one of these tv’s is best tuning it in on your house aerial first as it will be tuned in spot on. Don’t tune it in on an indoor aerial.
I’ll keep you informed 
Thats what I have too, and I tuned mine in on the house aerial.
What you need to remember is though the frequecies are different as you move around the country, so you have to retune, but KEEP your old settings, do not overwrite.
Hey Bowserman I was in ASDA living today and saw the SLX with the amp built in for 9.95 (19.99 at Maplin) so I couldn’t resist and bought it. Got home an hour ago and plugged it into my 10.4 inch dvd/freeview switched the amp and gain on and PING! On came my freeview! The picture was crystal clear mate…well chuffed so in my opinion I’d get one of these if an outside aerial is too big…just not from Maplin

On the back of this aerial is another antenna slot so you can increase your signal even more.
They do 2 versions…one with the amp and one without…just make sure you buy the one with the amp.
I will be buying a 12v adaptor for it so I can plug it into my cab.
Cheers Nige, I will look out for one.
ive got one of those they have on caravans + 15" flat screen tv with built in freeview there’s not many place’s i don’t get digi so then i just tune into analogue.
