Lindsey Brown: Indoor aerials are usually awful for Freeview reception, you can sometimes put them by a window that has a good view of the transmitter, but otherwise they are usually totally unreliable.

as much as I hate to say it
You are virtually on top of the local transmitter so the chances of an indoor aerial working is quite good
buy one from argos making sure you can return it if it doesn't work
try it and see don't get one with a built in amplifier as it will probably overload and not work
if not give me a call you would be looking at between £100- £120 For me to come out and install an aerial professionally

Would be interested to know if it does work by the way !

Hi
(S17 3DP - W band aerial (H) - currently Belmont transmitter - 100% quality)
Is Sheffield transmitter now transmitting all Muxes at full power? I thought ArqB and full power was going to happen on 27th Sept?
The reason I ask is that I am probably going to have my aerial altered so that I am getting my local programmes/news rather than Lincs.
I am sure I'll be able to get a good signal from Sheffield as even though my aerial is pointing the wrong way and wrong polarity I'm getting C24 (Strength 52%; Quality 90%) and C42 (Strength 43%; Quality 40%), but not the other Sheffield channels.
Cheers

I've just found that instead of being tuned to the Crookes transmitter as I thought I was I was actually tuned to Emley Moor for the 2 BBC muxes but Crookes for everything else. I was still getting reasonable pictures and sound (I live in Ecclesall) but the signal straength displyaed on my Digitalstream box was very low, less than 25% and I was getting breakup on the picture. Emley Moor is about in the same direction but a much weaker signal. I retuned the box manually for those 2 muxes and it all worked perfectly. Any idea why this may be - I don't retune unless I have to as it gets rid of series linked programs but I did an update and it did find some changes recently.

Dave Higgins: I can't give you any definitive answer to your question.
At a mile or so from Tapton/Crookes so maybe the signal is a bit on the high side.
These things are never going to be perfect. In some cases you can unplug the aerial lead so stop the wrong transmitter being picked up. This needs knowledge of what it is that you want and what you don't want.
You could auto-tune with the aerial plugged in for the first 25% and then unplug it. Then you need to manually add the three commercial multiplexes on channels 39, 42 and 45. The reason you need to add these manually is because those of Emley Moor are mixed in (on intermediate channels).
