How do I boost my tv reception on portable TV

[kelfoan]

I've just brought a portable TV. The reception is poor with the ariel supplied. I still have an old ariel socket in my spare room, this is connected to an analogue arial. However I want the portable for my sons room. Question: Should I have another analogue socket put in his room and attach to current analogue arial, or should I have it attached to our digital arial (if the latter is better would I also need to buy a freeview box for the portable as our main TV is freeview intergrated) Help!

If you connect to the digital ariel it might degrade the signal to your main tv, my digital ariel runs 2 freeview boxes perfectly though, depends on how good the reception is.

You will get an anologue signal through a digital ariel.

You would need another digital box for the new tv or the new tv would just recieve the normal stations

You could jst use your old ariel for normal stations on your new tv.

If a signal degrades using an aerial socket, you can buy boosters from DIY stores. My Aerial is just about good enough for freeview, but with a booster, I'm OK for two freeview recievers.
