Hi i am hoping someone can help,i have just bought a 8.4 inch digital lcd tv today and have found that the aerials that come supplied dont seem to be able to get a signal,i have tried the home aerial and everything is fine.
Can anyone give me some ideas of what kind of aerial i will need to get.
ps i bought it from maplins and they do have a few arials in stock but the guys there were not sure which one would be best.Has anyone got a tv set up and can reccomend one.
cheers,andy

I use a Maplin mag mount @ £9.99 with no worries unless in a very poor digital area, my Maplin TV also has analogue and secam as well as PAL & DTV.....you might be in a low signal area and if you haven't a powerful arial your signal can be poor......until 2011 that is when we are DTV everywhere...
if your set is one of these...............

Mike yeah thought the pics might be useful, based on yours and others recommendations I'm going to have a go with one. Did you attach yours permanently to the bongo?
