    I have a samsung tv in the kitchen not smart one it's a few years old. problem is I don't have a arial in the kitchen. I have bought a small amplified one but it is picking nothing up.
    Do any of you lot have the same situation and what arial do you use.

    I have a TV in the dining room that has no aerial feed, i took a coax lead and a foot long copper pipe and soldered the core to one end and the shield to the other.:eek:
    Its a right old bodge but its worked for the last few years...:oops:

    I am in a good signal area.

    if you do that, you will be able to see results when you position the aerial. And with this digital stuff you have to give it a second or two every time you move it, to register a signal.

    Andy is right, you should tune the TV on the main aerial and then connect it to the other aerial.
