Pancake Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 This may be a stupid question, but i have an outside Freeview ariel that comes through a hole in the wall on the opposite to where i want to put my new tv. Is there an extension cable that would plug from the ariel to the back of my tv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Yup.

david.dakota Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I'm sure any join in a tv cable can reduce the signal quality which could prove a problem receiving the weaker multiplexes/channels. Assuming you're in a strong signal area, you'll probably be fine with an extention- in a weaker area you may be better off replacing the entire cable. All that said, when we first moved in we could get Freeview by latching a cheap portable aerial over a radiator pipe- probably creating the worlds largest tv antenna.

So i'd have to phone out an ariel fitter to replace the whole thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
