boutiquechoc   10 #1 Posted May 6, 2010 Why are tv's made without digital aerials built in?  Why do companies not build them into the tv?  Could anyone recommend a good digi aerial that picks up freeview in unclear area's, one you don't have to install on the roof?

andyrad29   10 #2 Posted May 6, 2010 think you just answered your own question there, If it was in the tv it wouldnt be a strong enough signal  Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cynic   10 #3 Posted May 6, 2010 A lot of TVs have digital tuners built in but they can't include the aerial as in most areas you won't get a decent signal unless it is on the roof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
boutiquechoc   10 #4 Posted May 6, 2010 Surely with today's techonology they could make a tv with a strong aereal in it enough to pick up digital? I suppose things like walls and hills would make the signals not come through though......  Why is Emley Moor so terrible? I lived in the edge of Bradway/Dore, more of less on top of a hill and couldn't get any channels bar ones that were snowy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Although I know you can sometimes get a decent picture from a set-top aerial if there is a strong signal.  I have to point my aerial at the Belmont transmitter in Lincolnshire as their is a church in the way one direction and a lot of trees in another.
