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.
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 in truth some aerials 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.

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.
