jb38 - it's a small log aerial I'm using (20 element) mounted in the loft. The freeview box is an old Sagem one (IDT58G I think) which I've had for a good few year but I have also tried tuning in a Logik TV I have with freeview built in and still no luck, absolutely no signal at all. I've even tried using an app I downloaded to my phone which helps align the aerial to the necessary transmitters, still no luck. Would the aerial need to be a bigger log aerial because the one I currently have is small in comparison to some of the larger ones you can get (its designed to take to caravan sites I believe)?

Still no luck unfortunately, will just admit defeat on this one. I mounted the aerial outside, still no luck. Signal on manual tune for Channel 27 and 24 pointing to Fenham was 1% for both strength and quality, and never fluctuates beyond that even when adjusting the aerial. Same when I tried to tune it into the Felling transmitter. I noticed aerials on my street point upwards toward the sky so I tried that, with no luck. My house is surrounded by a lot of tall buildings so I can only assume these are blocking my line of sight.

Any recommendations on an aerial for the NE8 3JF area? My freeview box cannot find a single channel. 0 channels, 0 radio services, nothing. Any ideas or advice is greatly appreciated!
