Question re outdoor aerial required for Saorview

Laneyh

Hi

I bought a Saorview approved TV and have moved into an apartment in Newbridge.
The apartment doesn't appear to have an aerial.. I can't find any connection on the wall in the living room.

There is an old UPC connection but no aerial connection that I can see.

I bought an indoor digital aerial but I guess there isn't a stong enough signal from neighbouring buildings for that to be of any use.

Am I right in saying that If I want to tune in Saorview channels I will need to fit an outdoor aerial?

I am living on the 2nd floor of the apartment complex and the apartment has a small balcony.
Would I be able to get a small outdoor aerial that I coudl fit on the balcony.
Any advice as to exactly what's needed and what would be involved in setting it up?

Thanks

Hve you tried connecting the TV to the old UPC connection to see what's there? Is the UPC connection a screw on type?

Have you spoken to the neighbours/management company regarding TV etc.

Check where you recommended Saorview transmitter is located - http://www.saorview.ie/get-saorview/make-the-switch/coverage-map/

This might be an option for the balcony, that of course depends on which direction the transmitter is in relation to your balcony - http://www.tvtrade.ie/digidome-tv-aerial.html
