Daft Question about TV and aerials

[sooz07]

I have a TV to put into my bedroom. I know you get a cable that comes out of your wall and that is attached to the TV. What do I do when there is no cable coming out of the wall to put into the back of the TV? Do I buy an indoor aerial?

It all depends on the signal strength in your area. You might get away with using an indoor aerial, but you would probably need a booster.

Today's digital transmissions require an external roof top aerial, so this would be the the best bet. Contact a local aerial fitter who will advise you on the best option.

If you already have an aerial, you need an aerial splitter to get it in to your bedroom.

I have an aerial splitter that splits the cable from my one roof aerial into FOUR cables,

These four cables are then put through the wall into four different rooms.

So four people can all watch different TVs using the one aerial.

You will probably need to get a aerial fitting company to fit it for you.

I have a tv in the bedroom using an indoor aerial plus a booster & receive all Freeview channels perfectly.

an indoor aerial will probably do the job until the digital switchover, provided you are not in a very low place surrounded by tall buildings.

however, with digital, you will need a greater signal to get any reception at all,so you would probably need to install a UHF gain amplifier and splitter where the aerial comes into the house, and feed it to your other room with decent twin shileded 75 ohm low loss coaxial cable. Digital Tv really is is a bit of a nightmare, but makes lots of money for electronics firms.....
