Some on here have recommended an aerial from Capese21. I bought an aerial from an Edward Capese on eBay and it still didn't work.
Is this the same person? This is the aerial installed in my car; have I done it wright? I'm getting a bit fed up with this thing. I even bought a new DVB-T box and had no luck. They both work if I connect to my roof aerial on the house but these mobile TV units really seem pants. I am open to any suggestions on how to get them to work. Edd

Edd you mentioned about being in the real window, Bernard are you in the same location ? Sometimes Windscreens have thermal qualities that Block signals. We don't recommend for example the GPS Antenna be too close to the windshield. Some Do and Some Don't have this. Have either of you tried the signal with antenna OUTSIDE the car?

I've got aircon problems developed today so that is the urgent thing to look at, the aerial will have to wait. |

I have tried mine everywhere. In the car outside the car on the roof on the bonnet. They only way I can get both DVB-T units to work is with my house aerial. I have tried 4 different DVT-B aerials with no joy. I get very good reception with my house Aeriel. Go figure!!! Edd

But I can't keep buying these boosted aerials at £25 a pot and then they pack in after two days. Edd

I cant work out where you've got that stuck. Is it on top of the high level brake light housing? I'm confused as part of the aerial seems hidden behind the black surround. Where I stuck mine was in clear view part of the rear windscreen, none of it was shielded by black paper and also it was clear on both sides of the aeriel. I noticed that the signal weakened when I pit my hand in front of it on the inside of the car so I think they pick up signals from both directions. If you've got that stuck on the brake light area then I assume that at least one side of it is not clear view. They are very directional and you will need to move the car around a bit to get a decent signal. If you want any quality at all while on the move you would need a DVB box with two aerial inputs at least, and even then they are not perfect. Dont forget that you are trying to compare the performance from an arial about 6 inches long with your house ariel, perfectly aligned, permanently fixed, and 6 feet long. |

Re the DVB-T units, I have tried several and Sean's one seems to be on par with any of the other makes. I have also been along the route of different antennas, and have spent a small fortune on them, and they all seems as bad as each other.
Location does make a BIG difference, I leave near Crystal Palace in South East London and 95% of the time, I get a perfect picture, apart from when I am going down the A2 out of London. I have been toying with the idea of getting one of these units:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT But again the unit is only as good as the signal it receives.
