Customer Reviews

Better than the more expensive models
I have just bought one of these to watch freeview upstairs in our house. The previous aerial I used was a One For All SV 9150 which cost about £25 and also had a built in amplifier. However, based on the other review I thought this cheaper version was worth a go. With my old aerial I was able to pick up about half the channels but with this one I get them all. The reception is not perfect but it is certainly much better than it was. I would definitely recommend this aerial, sometimes cheaper is best!

Great aerial! Cheap too..
Bought a freview box but after discovering that it wouldn't run from my tv-top extendable aerial I looked to the web to find an indoor aerial with an amplifier so that I could watch freeview.

After reading many reviews of much more expensive units I came across and bought this aerial, and it's great! I could only get 3 grainy channels normal TV before, and with the aerial I could only get better reception but not perfect (maybe if I'd played around with tuning I could have). But with my freeview box I can now get freeview in perfect picture, it's great! Simple to set up too, just screw in the aerials if they are needed, plug into mains & tv and switch on.

One thing I have noticed though is that when I'm on my mobile phone the picture sometimes freezes while I'm watching TV but this isn't really an issue.

A great little aerial for a very reasonable price, would definitely recommend!

Disappointed
Firstly, the service from the seller is excellent. Arrived very quickly and was packaged in both a box and bubble wrap envelope for protection.

I bought this product on the strength of the reviews but must say I'm really disappointed. It's for use on a 19" HDTV in the bedroom - renting with no outdoor aerial.

I already had an "All For One" aerial from Argos £30 and can only get about 30 Freeview channels (no ITV ones). I eagerly set up The Strand hoping for an improvement but I ended up with exactly the same channels after a re-tune. I also tried plugging in an extra aerial into the back of it but there was no improvement.

In summary, if you don't have an aerial - this is as good as any other. If you already have one, then I'm not sure this will really improve things.
