BIG thanks to you Phil (( esoxlucious ))

After seeing your recommendation for the TV Aerial it got me thinking I have a unused small portable TV in my caravan and I thought be good in the kitchen and so I will take a gamble and buy one of those

and I got one for £8.95 delivered it came today put the tv in my kitchen plugged the little marvel into it did a scan and got all the freeview channels straight away all 100% perfect

I have to be honest when this tiny aerial came ( it looked so much bigger in the advert picture )

I thought oh bollox this tiny thing isnt going to work but gosh and golly I could not be more wrong !!! bloody outstanding now I got TV in my kitchen big smile

I've added a booster as post 8 to mine for the weaker signal areas. Found the aerial works great in strong signal areas so interested to add the booster in weaker areas.

well as below bought mine for the kitchen TV and the tiny aerial just sits on the window sill

I did a scan and got every channel its flawless I am amazed but I guess maybe if you were using it on the bank would make sense to get one of those little boosters in case

We like a few weekends camping as a family and yes while at home all is well however those aerials whilst better than others I have tried when camping and being rural do not pick up every channel and are hit and miss depending on signal which is why I'm going to try the booster.

That said these little aerials are nice and compact and are far better than anything else I've tried and I've tried a few over the years.

Og it's brill isn't it I travel all over the place and sometimes in areas you wouldn't think it would work but it does .As I said I have never been anywhere it hasn't worked and with the added bonus of being so small it fits in the TV case pocket

I've just ordered one worth a go for a tenner , definitely less bulky than what I carry now , I'll try it with my existing signal booster when outside
