According to the BBC web site, Freeview is not available in my Postcode area. However, having tried a borrowed STB over Christmas, I find that I can receive BBc 1,2,3...., ITV 1,2......, Channel4....... etc, but no Ch5, Radio 4 and other minor stuff. I get occasional minor signal dropout on the received channels, but picture quality is otherwise good.
So, the question is: is it worth my while to go out and buy my own STB in the January sales and then climb onto the roof with a bigger aerial to see if I can get a better signal. If so, is any Freeview box known to have particularly good sensitivity and what sort of aerial should I look for. Would a signal booster help?
