TV ANTENNA SWIFT CHALLENGER 2015

[Fraseb01]

Hi all,

Picked up my van today and had a play around, my question is are these standarc antennas any good ? I couldn't get a single station sitting on my drive, does the signal booster have a separate on off switch or does it come on when all 240 is connected.any ideas?

Cheers 👍👍

My aerial has a small inset switch on its booster unit in the wardrobe. A blue led light comes on when powered up.

It depends what aerial is fitted.
If it is the one shaped like a flying saucer with a spike on the top it is good in strong signal areas, but has limitations.

If it is the one that is triangular in shape and has a pole inside which raises it, then that is a better aerial as you direct to the nearest transmitter.

Both have a booster and must be switched on to work, and they are 12v so no need for mans power to operate them.

Mines like yours and gets a good picture given a reasonable signal.

Feel such a diddy not knowing about a simple switch lol.

To the OP, don't forget you will need to retune your TV whenever you go to a new site.
