Anyone use an indoor antenna for freeview? And does it work good?

I live very close to the glasgow city centre (Less than a mile) so I'm guessing the area should get strong reception (How do I find where the nearest transmiter is?). Also on the freeview website it says reception is good so will an indoor antenna work?





How about this one:

I work at Best Buy, in Home Theater, and Im a HT Pro2, meaning Im certified.





.. ..we have about 10 open time Indoor Antennas. meaning people bought them, and then returned them because they didnt work.





BUT a lot of it has to do with location. If u buy one, keep the reciept!
Reply:my isiter uses one at her flat and its fine. i think you may find that it will work better in some parts of the house than others eg.upstairs (though it may be fine throughout the house)





if you do try one and have problems, consider using a booster, our aeriel is outdoor but when we first tried freeview the reception was terrible, we only got a few channels and they were not coming through properly - totally unwatchable, just odd squares of the picture in a black screen, but since we fitted a booster (cost aboput £10) its perfect.
