Hey everyone
I've just moved into a privately rented house, not thinking about it going to have any problems I hooked my TV up (built in freeview box that works) and scanned for channels, unfortunately it found nothing, not even analogue channels
This confused me (lol) and started checking on the digitaluk.co.uk website for more information, this told me I should be-able to pick up channels from 4 masts (one I can see! its less than 5 miles away and is visible!!).
I have been told from a person that lives in the street behind me that its impossible to get any channels and go with sky (cant afford it so not doing it)
I bought a indoor aerial with booster and now I can pick up 4 analogue channels with the booster turned fully up and two with the booster turned off, better than nothing I suppose!
The aerial on the roof though is what looks like a high gain aerial definitely not a standard aerial, but its not picking anything up, it is not facing the way of the closest mast (berwick) rather at a guess chatton (would be my preferred choice) or selkirk (I dont really know tbh).
I was just wondering on what advise I could gather from this community really on what I should be checking and what would be the way forward to maybe pick digital channels up. Below is a map of my location and the masts (from digitaluk.co.uk)
Thank you in advance for any help that you can give me
