Hi folks

I was wandering if anyone can help, I have little to no FM reception in my home. In the car in the driveway it is fine but once you walk into the house all there is is static. I have bought numerous radios from the basic Lidl to a 200 euro plus model and the more expensive on is worse.

Is there anything that can be done.

please

I have a similar problem - I bought an iPOD docking station with an FM radio but there's no aerial just a wire antenna which is very short.

What can I use to improve the FM reception, is there an internal antenna that works well in this situation?
