kaleigh: You must connect the set to a rooftop aerial. All transmitters in Scotland carry a Freeview service, but I can't say about yours as you have not provided a full postcode.

My husband is a patient in the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow and has absolutely no reception on his tv - freeview or otherwise. This seems to be a common problem within this hospital. Is there a way that the signal to this part of Glasgow can be boosted to allow the patients access

Anne Wilson: I would suggest that the main reason for the problem you refer to is far more likely to be connected to a deficiency in the aerial distribution system used within the hospital and not necessarily down to the area that the hospital is located in being one that suffers from bad reception, because if it was, then I am sure that numerous complaints to this effect would have been made on not only this site but others, something which I can't honestly say that I have noticed.

Anne Wilson: When by saying "boosted aerial" you are actually referring to an amplified set top type that you find gives good reception in your house but NOT when tried in the hospital then this is not really surprising, because the two situations are totally different from each other to the extent that they cannot be compared, because set top aerials whether powered or not being used at 18 miles away from a transmitter whilst within the "screened" walls of a building like a hospital are very unlikely to pick up anything.

The Blackhill transmitter used by a large number (but not all) of South side residents is located at 18 miles away from the hospital, and as such about the only place that anyone might get a set top aerial to work would be by mounting it on the hospital roof beside the aerials used for other purposes, however on both the North and South banks of the Clyde stretching out towards Rutherglen its also possible to pick up another transmitter located near to Helensburgh called Roseneath (@19 miles) dependant of course on where you reside, and so you could possibly be picking up this transmitter and not Blackhill, therefore for purposes of checking on this possibility it would be of interest if you give a clue as to the area you are referring to by home? as I am quite acquaint with these areas albeit only up in them every six months or so.
