back to your genuine thread taylor, i use a usb freeview stick too, and all the indoor aerials i used got most channels a good reception but not all most boosters dont seem to work i got the best signal with the booster turned right down, it depends if you are in a good reception area to start with, is it possible to fit a high gain outside aerial in your home i.e. unless your in high rise apartments, an exterior high gain aerial isn`t much dearer than a decent indoor booster
