We currently have freesat in the living room, which is fine.
Leaving Virgin Media for TalkTalk (not the best, I know but getting free TV box).
Old TV will go upstairs in the bedroom along with the TV box as the TalkTalk box doesn't accept freesat connections. Buying a new TV for the living room.
Bedroom upstairs has an aerial socket, which leads upstairs to the loft where the cable just ends.
Plan to use our existing home plug network to enable the bedroom TV to get Internet so we'll be able to use that to stream but I'd prefer to hook up an aerial if possible.
Don't really want to spend too much money so thinking about some sort of self install in the loft, attaching it to a beam somewhere.
I guess this will dampen the signal but hopefully not too much?
Apart from buying an aerial, is there anything else I can use?
Any other thoughts on this?
As a side note: We could give up on TalkTalk and go back to Virgin Media who offered a really good deal but no TV. I'm not sure how much it is to split the cable connection coming into the house - that would be the ideal situation. But want to investigate without this first.
