But digital TV can be much better and you do not need a NASA base station size aerial to achieve this! All you need is the latest indoor electronic aerial system, the SV9390.
At one time indoor aerials were either gigantic rabbit's ear things or had twin telescopic aerials which were easy to damage during dusting, etc.
But the SV9390 has more of the chic, modern artistic gallery about it than a television aerial. It looks good and goes with just about any home décor that you could care to mention.
My wife set the aerial up when it came and this is her opinion of the said aerial: “It was very easy to install, there was none of that fiddling and messing around with things! When I connected it up to the television I realised I could pick up channels that I had not seen in ages, some that I had never even heard of!
“The picture and sound quality is absolutely superb. There must be some pretty good filtering in it, because our neighbour's dodgy video send unit that often blocks out some channels no longer puts in a peep, now!*
I can recommend this aerial unit for anyone who has problem reception like we did. Before we got the latest One For All aerial! And the Freeview HD programmes are really sharp, just as they should be!”
That's the review over, what about the technical specifications?
Fully compatible with Freeview and Freeview HD, the range-topping SV9390 features "multi patch" technology which has wider bandwidth than traditional loop or Dipole aerials. It can be placed anywhere - horizontally, vertically or on the wall - providing a 360 degree reception angle without any loss in performance. No more constant adjustment of a telescopic loop when changing channels - the six patches mean it's effectively six aerials in one, so it automatically receives a wider frequency spectrum.
Interference is minimised via an external digital amplifier. Ten stages of filtering ensure that all unwanted signals like mobile phones, WiFi and other sources that cause overload and picture freeze are filtered out. The micro-controller amplifies the pure signal, not other noise - to provide a constant and solid output level to the TV or set-top box. Signal gain is adjustable in four 'touch control' stages up to 43dB. And because the amplifier is external, not integrated, no component noise is picked up by the aerial.
Stylish, flat and discreet, the SV9390 comes in black with a brushed aluminium finish - it doesn't even look like a TV aerial!
Range is up to 18 miles from the nearest transmitter. Visit www.oneforall.co.uk/aerials to check your location.
The SV9390 can receive horizontal and vertical transmitted broadcasts simultaneously and offers up to 40% more bandwidth than previous models in One For All's range. The omni-directional multi patch system means that high density information streams such as DVB-T2 and HD MPEG4 can be received with stable load and gain across the entire frequency spectrum.
The constant 75 Ohm impedance ensures a better load match to the set-top box, minimising echo and reflection between the antenna and the receiver. Patch technology also means the aerial has a higher carrier to noise ratio, to ensure the signal quality is strong enough for the higher data rates needed for HD broadcasts.
All connectors are gold-plated for the best contact and signal transfer, and a 2.75m coaxial cable is included. The aerial is powered by a 6V DC, 500mA AC/DC mains adaptor.
Ideal for digital TVs with an integrated IDTV tuner such as Freeview, or older TVs with a Freeview set-top box connected, One For All's SV9390 aerial is priced £59.99 (RRP). It will be available from Argos, Comet, PC World and Curry's as well as online at www.amazon.co.uk and www.homebase.co.uk
The SV9390 aerial is also compatible with DAB radio.
*It would appear that my wife was right in her summation, there is some heavy duty filtering that blocks our neighbour's dodgy video sender is fully described above!
