Unless you live next to the transmitter an indoor aerial will do shit all unfortunately.

TV Catch Up is live TV and IIRC, you get the freeview channels.

I hope you pay for a TV license though ;)

Hook up your laptop to the tv with a HDMI cable and use TV Catch Up which is live stream

Get one of those boost type ones lol. Mine still wasnt very good though, but been told it has a much better signal now due to the switch over.

I might try mine again, my mum bought one (and the booster) and it picked up nothing, not even analog when that was on. Don't hold out much hope for an indoor one in my area (as i'm like 20 miles away from the transmitter).
