    Apologies, this question has likely been asked many times before but does anyone have recommendations for a good/neat indoor tv aerial for Saorview/Freeview (everything I've found seems to be from 2012)? I live in Stepaside right under Three Rock so hoping the reception should be very strong, an outside or attic mounted aerial isn't an option unfortunately.

    Was looking at this in HN but not sure if it'd do the job or if there are any better alternatives out there?

    Also wondering about these two on Amazon:

    Don't waste your time and money on anything that claims to have a booster or amplifier. If the aerial isn't getting a strong enough signal, a booster will only boost the interference.
    You wont get Freeview on an indoor aerial as it is the UK equivalent of Saorview. In Stepside you should get a decent signal unless the aerial is on the opposite side of the building to the mast.
    Have a look at your local 2 Euro shop for a UHF aerial. If it works, OK, otherwise no great loss.
