Review: Had read that putting it on to a metal surface is good so, being in the kitchen - May 2015 update. Had this since October 2014 and have used it all over the UK when caravanning. Never failed to get a good picture, far easier than the caravan aerial, not having to point in the transmitter direction and gets better reception. At Coniston Caravan Club site this last weekend and found it gave better reception and as least as many channels as the site bollard boosting connection. Going to but another one for my laptop in the study so I can watch/record TV. Bought this thinking at this price I've nothing to lose. Connected it up in the kitchen to an Avtex L187DRS TV which we use for our camping trips, no signal. Had read that putting it on to a metal surface is good so, being in the kitchen, I placed it (as you do) on an empty olive oil tin! Instant picture and good quality. Then took TV and aerial out to our VW California camper-van and plugged the TV into 12 volt socket for power and put the aerial onto the windscreen pillar. Powered up and immediately got good quality pictures on all the channels. Looking forward to trying it out in anger, as they say, but so far it looks like a very good acquisition and at this price a steal. desertcart more than usual great service, Ordered at 1:00 pm Saturday arrived following day, Sunday, at 10:30 am and this was on First Class delivery/ two working days. Well done. Review: STRONG SIGNAL - Great product , i installed it up in the loft and scanned for first install ,it found twelve more Channels than my previous TV Aerial and it`s Quarter the size of my previous one .The picture is nice and clear without any break up and the High Defintion Channels look amazing This is well worth a Tenner, but remember the higher up it is mounted or placed the better the picture will be!.. Heres a tip for you ,get hold of a Biscuit tin lid or one of those metal ones used for Roses Chocolates and place the Magnetic base on it then mount it as high up in your attic/loft as you can ,it makes the signal even stronger and clearer ## Features - FULL FREEVIEW RECEPTION - Access Freeview and Freeview HD as well as High Gain DAB Radio. Over 100 channels of free-to-air TV, plus radio.

Standard coaxial TV aerial cable ensures you can plug-and-play, no power cords or batteries required - INTEGRATED MAGNETIC BASE - The DTA250 can be placed in a variety of locations thanks to the magnetic base.

You simply connect it to the TV or Radio using the Coaxial Cable. Kind Regards, Daffodil UK **Q: will it work on my portible tv in my truck** A: Providing there's reception and a socket I don't see why not. **Q: Will this work with Freview HD channels?** A: My aerial received the Freeview HD channels. I used my aerial upstairs on a tin of food then placed on a window sill facing in the direction of the TV transmitter which is 30 km away. **Q: Wil it work on my Toshiba TV not flatscreen just tv** A: Yes it should do as long as it has Arieal connection ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had read that putting it on to a metal surface is good so, being in the kitchen *by 1***S on 12 October 2014* May 2015 update.

Having plugged it in to the spare TV in the bedroom I was very surprised at the reception, it's very good. I live in a downstairs flat which is on a slight hill and at the back there are houses and trees, I have Sky in the living room and sometimes the further up the channel list I go the weaker the signal gets especially in bad weather, I tried with this aerial going one by one up the channel list expecting the same with it but to my surprise there was no problem, it may have taken a couple of seconds to catch the signal and tune inbut the picture and sound were very good. I have only given four stars as the weather today is fairly good so I'm reserving judgement until I test it in bad weather. Over all I'm pleased with it and for the price it's great, I ordered Saturday and it arrived Monday so that is a great plus. The only thing I can't really understand is why they have attached a magnet to the bottom,the only large metal surface I have at home,and I think most other people have is the sink and I don't think many people would want to attach it there. ## Frequently Bought Together - TV Aerial Outdoor/Indoor - August DTA250 - DVB-T2 Freeview HD TV Antenna for TV Tuner/Portable TV / 4K TV/DAB Radio/Set Top Box at Home in Car while Camping - Integrated Magnetic Base - Black - Hauppauge WinTV DualHD TV Stick with Remote Control Number Tuner 2 - High Gain Freeview TV Aerial -August DTA240 - HD Portable Indoor/Outdoor Digital HD Antenna for USB TV Tuner / DVB-T Television / DAB Radio / SD / 4K - With Magnetic Base [Black] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/48983139-august-dta250-indoor-tv-aerial-freeview-hd-tv-antenna-tv](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/48983139-august-dta250-indoor-tv-aerial-freeview-hd-tv-antenna-tv) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
