Review: small but mighty!! - this is so small that when it arrived my heart sank a bit and i felt very unsure it would be any good but I was totally wrong. this replaced another internal aerial that was just rubbish and got hardly any channels and cut in and out all the time. i literally just plugged this in to the telly and didn’t even have to do any of the usual wandering around with my arm in the air to get a signal, it just worked immediately with no wiggling or repositioning and i have all the channels and a week after plugging in no breaking up or missing channels. An impressive bit of kit!
Review: Worth a try but did not work for me - The product arrived very quickly and was well packaged. Easy to unpack and set up. Very neat looking and very unobtrusive. Connected to portable digital TV in its current location (kitchen) away from walls and tried tuning the TV. No services found. Re-located the aerial and TV to the conservatory next to the window (where I was planning to use it to save me running a new aerial cable). Re-tuned the TV. Found about 70 services (compared to well over 100 with external aerial). Hope? Alas no! None of the services tuned were watchable as the pictures and sound were both completely broken up. Tried raising the aerial to over head height but still no better. May work well for others but I guess you need to be in a good strong signal area to get this sort of aerial to work. A pity. I have had to return it for refund using desertcart's really helpful and no quibble returns arrangements.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant little gadget, works a treat.
*by C***Y on 1 January 2015*

Brilliant little gadget, works a treat. The ariel is 14cm from base to top and has a magnetic base. My tv is about 4 years old, a digital JVC, 32''. Tv was hooked up to Sky box. The Sky dish stopped working about 2 months ago (no connection) 8 months after I stopped my Sky subscription. I ordered this little ariel for under £4 (no postage charged). Plugged it into the tv and nothing happened. Realised I had to re-tune the tv, I followed the instructions in the tv manuel and typed in preset pin number 0000 then saved the channels (ok button on remote control). When I selected a channel, I moved the ariel around for few minutes until reception was perfect. As it is magnetic, I attached the ariel to the tv's wall bracket, to enhance its range and for it to be unobtrusive. I have great picture and sound for a fraction of the cost of calling someone to sort it out. Am very pleased and wished someone had explained the processes to me. Hope this helps you to see how easy it can be. Item arrived next day. Minor point for Amazon In my opinion, the item was over-packaged, a very small item in a box with packing paper roughly 10 times its size.
