Best indoor TV aerial: boost your signal with these top picks
Low or no signal on your TV? Try these indoor aerials for the perfect boost in poor signal areas.
You may consider aerials as a thing of the past, along with dial-up internet, Sony Walkmans and cassette tapes. However, while not as common as they used to be, TV aerials are very much in use nowadays, and can help you boost your TV signal and quality.
If you live in an area where a TV signal is hard to come by, an indoor TV aerial could be the perfect solution. We've picked out a range of indoor aerials for different budgets, with varying ranges, and designs.
There are a range of aerial solutions on offer, but most of the sleekest, simplest solutions are 'flat panel' aerials — with a couple of exceptions — so you'll see a lot of them popping up throughout our list.
None of these aerials will set you back too much, with prices starting at just £12, but some of the options are much more feature-packed, and therefore more expensive, than others. Take a look at the list below for our top picks.

What to look for when choosing an indoor TV aerial
If you're particularly far from a signal transmitter, you may want to choose an aerial with a signal amplifier.
Another thing to consider is the size and shape of the aerial, as well as where it should be stored. Some aerials need to be attached to furniture, or a window, whereas others just sit next to the TV.
Otherwise, these aerials are generally simple to set up and use.

One for All SV9494
Best premium indoor TV aerial
If your aerial budget is a little larger, this might be the option for you. The One for All SV9494 looks like a relative of Star Wars' BB8, thanks to its spherical shape and glowing lights. When it comes to delivering a good TV signal, that light points the user towards the direction where the aerial should be placed for best results. Neat, right?
Then, when it's in place, the top of the aerial swivels to find the best signal available. It's impressive and feature-packed and has a built-in signal amplifier, but it's costly too, at over £80 at the time of writing.

Best long-range indoor TV aerial
This aerial from Coolfell can pick up a good signal from over a massive 560 miles – it's the biggest radius on this list and one of the biggest on the market. However, despite its large mile radius, it doesn't come with a hefty price tag attached to it, far from it.

RGTech Monarch 50 Antenna
Best indoor TV aerial for mounting
The RGTech Monarch 50 Antenna mounts to windows, walls, or radiators and can pick up a signal from a good distance — 50 miles.
