TV aerial

I All
I have a tv in my bongo but I think the arial is not strong enough for it and I am finding it difficult to find any company that does this sort of work anyone know anything about this subject or where I could get it done

Just tried out an aerial I bought from Maplins. Gives a perfect signal and the full Freeview available at home in Birmingham but here in Norfolk doesn't work on any channel. Even the best is going to have problems in an area of low signal strength.

Why not see what other folks have got when you're next at campsite with poor reception? There are plenty of campsites in little coves and valleys where you just won't get a decent signal so upgrading may not help.

What type of aerial are you using currently and do you have an amplifier? If you use the same TV on the aerial at home is it ok?
