OT Freeview Antenna
 

Hi all.
Does this do what I think it does?

It seems to replace the through the wall aerial cable
and provide freeview channels.

Yes. It would be used instead of an external aerial.

Don't know, what do you think it does?

It may work as an aerial if you are in a very good reception area,
otherwise it makes for an ungly ornament.

Any aerial (so long as it is an appropriate group for the transmitter
you are using) provides Freeview channels.

An outdoor aerial on the roof will work best, one in the loft next, and
an inside one last.

Note the product you linked to contains an amplifier. You are generally
better off without one unless you actually can't do without it.

Use this page to work out what transmitter you are on:

and hence the group (i.e. frequency range) of aerial required (again go
for the grouped aerial if avaiable rather that using a wideband).

Do you mean you think it provides freeview channels without the need for a
freeview box

So do the old ones....

However unless you buy a TV/VCR/DVD Recorder with an integrated digital
tuner then you won't be receiving freeview without a separate tuner box.

What do you think it does? Provide an expensive ornament? Then yes.

If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

So you change channels on your non-freeview TV to get Freeview channels?
That's clever...

Arthur, it will not allow you to watch Freeview unless you have a set top
box/decoder/digital tuner/ etc... Go back to the product page and hover
your mouse over the "Receives both analogue and digital TV channels" on the
Features page.

well it doesn't.

It clearly states it has an aerial output, not RGB, not scart, nadda.

It's not the number of channels, it's the number of tuners which is
important

So you can pick up terrestrial channels on the TV set and whichever
channel the freeview box is tuned to
