no ariel

[The Wookiee]

Have just moved into a flat in worthing, there is no Ariel socket for my tv. What do the good people of nsc recommend ? I just purchased an indoor aerial and its shit. Don't have a lot of spare cash at the moment so can anybody help ?

Get sky.

I had the same problem in Barnes, London. I spent more time fiddling with the aerial than actually watching TV. In the end, I gave up as I need subtitles to watch TV and it was fruitless. From memory, I watched a lot of DVDs, overused the internet and read a lot more. I hope that helps.

Get sky.

Don't want to get into a contract as am unsure how long I am going to he here. Am just looking for a low cost short term solution

No aerial socket leaves you pretty much f***ed. You need to have somebody install one for you or get a satellite dish I'm afraid

You can get boosters for those internal aerials which help...depends which way your flat is facing though...got a balcony? you can hide a bigger aerial out there if needs be...

Have you got unlimited broadband - or an internet ready tv? You can always explore those options althgouh admittedly not cheap.

i would suggest asking neighbours about how they get TV, There may be a communal system somewhere.

But watch everything as though it's a badly dubbed Spaghetti Western!

I have an indoor aerial, if I plug it straight into the TV I don't get many channels but when I put it through the freeview box I can pick them all up fine.
I guess the freeview box does some kind of signal boosting
I do have an obstructed view across town to the Racehill transmitter though.

Pm sent.

what floor? if second/third up you could use a proper aerial, fixed just outside a window, or just a window sill inside. need line of sight to the transmitter though, dont know where that is but you can judege by looking at aerials in the area.

Those indoor ariels are usually crap. Can't be that expensive to get a proper one is it?

Have just moved into a flat in worthing, there is no Ariel.

Why would you want a Mermaid hanging around anyway?

Use Persil instead.
