I am new to the world of freeview and am not an aerial buff, so would appreciate some help.
The post code checker said I am in a borderline area, so I bought a warfedale DV832b and tried it, it picked up the transmitter and I can watch a few channels like Sky sports news but the BBC channels are showing no signal. The channels I have got look like about a 30% signal which fluctuates. This is off a cheap and nasty standard aerial in the roof space, it does go through a powered splitter feeding each room.
I am 19 miles from 107.00 + Divis the channels are 29 33 23 26 48 34, it is recommending group K with H polarization,
First question group k goes up to 48 which is the top channel another site recommended W which is 21 to 68, so which should it be. The wolfbane site also said Amplified extra hi-gain
so the second question is the usual, I have looked at a few aerials any comments welcome including the possibility of keeping it in the roof space considering a bog standard aerial picked up the signal (just).
the Televes 45 or 75
