Hi all - my father-in-law has just brought a new 16in. flatscreen TV with built-in Freeview, but is struggling to tune it in using his old analogue aerial attached to the caravan; he's reluctant to spend upwards of £150 on a mobile satellite dish and wondered if any of you out there had experience of indoor digi aerials with built-in boosters, or any alternative suggestions. Cheers!

If he has got one of the flying saucer aerials then he won't get much with that. His best bet is to go and buy a portable one with a pole. An indor one willonly work if you are close to the transmitter.

I've got that aerial too - it's very good and won't break the bank.
