Given that we now live in a country where most households have about 20 TV sets on the go at any one time, and what with the analogue service having been switched off I'm guessing that many properties make use of Indoor Digital Aerials.
1) Are they any good?
2) Can someone recommend a decent one, ideally at an attractive price?
3) Are they any good at delivering the signal when you live between two mountains?
All sensible tech advice welcomed.
Regards etc, and compliments of the season to CCers.
2) No
3) No
Buy one, try it, you'll probably get some channels but not all and/or a dodgy signal where the picture intermittently 'freezes' rendering it useless.
Last resort, a high-gain aerial will do the job.
How is your Filipino, breast-enhanced ladyboy?
How do all these "20 tellys in the house" types cope then?

Mr N : cheers, oh gawd, that's not good news at all, and I've never even heard of a High Gain Aerial either. Does that involve climbing up ladders and fixing things to roofs and the like. How do all these "20 tellys in the house" types cope then?
Yes, a high grain aerial is pretty much a more powerful aerial for aeras with a poor reception.
I use one of these to get basic digital telly around the house.

One cable goes from the aerial to the box. You then use the other four outputs to connect to your various tellys. A bit like a four way mains adaptor.
Like MrNibbs, said it runs fine for a bit then it loses the signal and freezes.
I had to split the roof aerial feed in the end.
A country house with a big mountain next to it --
It worked fine -- you have to keep moving it
Until your partner yells " That's a great picture"
Then hang it along that positional line ..
This works every time and at no risk to yourself.
