August HD Digital TV Aerial DTA400 - Add TV to Any Room Without a Rooftop Antenna

Extraordinary little device! I took a punt on it, honestly rather anticipating that I'd find I'd wasted a few pounds, but at the price being asked I wasn't worrying too much. I actually want if for viewing my small 12volt TV in my campervan. I don't have room in the van to carry a "proper" aerial. Anyway, it arrived and I connected it first to the 32" TV in my living room, which operates with a full-size loft aerial, just to see what would happen. I was astonished - with this little aerial stuck by its "sucker" to the adjacent internal door lintel, the picture was almost as good as I normally get. So out to the van, where I connected up the 12volt set, waved this tiny aerial around a bit to find the best orientation, and soon had an excellent picture. Admittedly, I live on the South coast, not too many miles from the nearest transmitter, and whether or not this is a factor in the aerial's efficiency I shall only discover when I am travelling around and stopping overnight in different locations. Be warned - this thing is TINY and not exactly robust so you need to treat it with reasonable care. I shall keep mine in the padded envelope in which it arrived.

I bought this hoping it would be an easy solution compared to the installation of an outside aerial. I'll admit that it's compact and easy to install but did not result in a single received channel! I tried to return the item only to find out that it can't be! How can this be fair, you buy something and it doesn't work (bear in mind trying it is the only way to find out if it works) yet can't return it for a refund or exchange!!! I don't know whether this is the Seller policy or Amazon but it's totally bonkers.

I'd hoped for better results, but better than others which I have bought.I liked the magnetic suction fixture - very usfull.

The best performer for DAB radio in my car. Very cheap so I tried 3 August aerials to see which was best, as I think my area has weak DAB reception - the DTA400 has by far the best reception. I wanted an aerial that works inside the car, not mounted on the bodywork.Reception quality - my findings:- DAB splitter - 3/10 - my E46 BMW has an amplifier which I think might filter out DAB frequencies, so this might be why the DAB splitter was so poor.- August DTA207 - 2/10 - only tried quickly, but on a marginal station would only get a signal on the roof, the DTA400 and DTA250 were better. I raised and lowered the aerial but it was poor inside the car. Grounding it iinside the car didn't improve reception enough to make the marginal station play.- August DTA250 - 5/10 - I used this for a week. Grounding it seemed to improve reception very slightly. Better than the DAB splitter and DTA207, but only some stations had signal on the way to work. Planet Rock (my test station), was breaking up 75% of the time so it was no good.- August DTA400 - 8/10. Gave about 95% perfect reception on my route to work in my slightly weak signal area. Grounding it didn't seem to improve reception.So the DTA400 wins the reception test for me, I will play around with the aerial location a bit more, but I think stuck to the back of a rear headrest it will perform well. It looks discrete too, the element being semi transparent and about 20cm x 5cm.

Hello,Bought this aerial as my rooftop aerial has packed in and I can't afford to sort it out properly yet. The product is very small (much smaller than I expected) and so is a little more discrete than I thought it would be. I've only tried it with a small TV in my kitchen so far (normal freeview - no HD) - at first I held it in certain places on the wall that I was hoping to fix it however it wasn't really giving a consistent feed when I did so. The aerial itself has a magnetic base so it can be fixed to a metal door or window frame etc, so I fished about for something metal to stick it to. I eventually found a stud spanner with a long neck that I poked into a hole on a bookshelf, I fixed the aerial to the spanner and the feed seems consistent through all channels now. I don't know if the feed wasn't good before just because I was holding it and wasn't keeping it still, but this made me think that the aerial might not do so well attached to a main TV with freeview HD. Anyway... it works, and it's a bloody good price too.

Bought 2 of these aerials and was so excited that I would be able to have a tv in the bedroom and also be able to move the main tv to another position without cables snaking round the room. They didn't work, not a peep, not even a fuzz. :(To be fair though, it is a bad area for reception so not necessarily the fault of the aerial. Will keep them for when we move house next year, maybe they'll work there.

Does the job, great HD pictures, and versatile, you can use the stick on pad, but as the pad only has a base of metal, this means the aeriel (which is fitted with a magnet) can be detached, to mount on a metal surface to improve the signal, or re-attached to the sticky pad base.This has been convenient for me, as the best signal for my area comes when the aeriel is attached to the window pane, but when the window is opened the signal is, for some reason, lost, and I fix the aeriel to a nearby surface temporarily.Note: I live half a mile from a relay station in direct sight, so check if an indoor aeriel is good for your area before buying - some people need roof aeriels.

This is an outstanding little aerial. I needed a quick & easy solution to getting a TV working in an upstairs guest room. I was very sceptical about how this aerial would perform based on its size & simplicity but it pulls in a good signal in an area no known for strong signal strengths. I adhered my aerial to an upstairs window using a signal strength meter. I would recommend this as the smallest of adjustments (a few inches up-down-left-right) made a big difference to what signal strength it would pull in - I was getting 65% strength - enough to get all the Freeview channels I know are available in my area. Some TV's have a signal strength meter in the menu option I know - but my old set doesn't !

Objet identique et conforme à la présentation, répond parfaitement à l' usage que l' on attend d' une antenne TV intérieur destinée à s' adapter à un relais de télévision différent de l' émetteur principal en cas de problèmes de celui-ci. Ma situation géographique idéale en ligne directe et à vue du réémetteur, très bonne réception. Le + sa mobilité grâce à la ventouse et à son socle magnétique.

Ho comprato questa antenna per ricevere i segnali digitali a 1090 Mhz attraverso un RTL dongle. Sono rimasto soddisfatto in quanto cercavo un' antenna piccola e molto efficace. Questa è davvero ottima, considerato anche il prezzo. Naturalmente vista la sua efficienza la userò anche per la tv DVB-T.

Ich habe ja schon eine solche Antenne gekauft und sofort wieder nachbestellt, in diesem Falle 2 Stück, weil nicht jeder meiner Fernseher in die gleiche Richtung zeigt , Kabelfernsehen -davon will ich mich unabhängig machen und auch mal einen Fernseher umstellen können, ohne dass ich entweder eine ellenlange Dickschnur irgendwie verbergen muss oder gar ein anderer Festanschluss gebohrt werden müsste.Diese " Lilliputantennen" in der Länge einer Handspanne etwa und mit einer Wandstärke eines stärkeren Papiers, das man sogar mit einer Klebefolie für die Wand-Unter die Tapete eventuell- das will ich nicht- verkleben könnte, haben es mir wegen ihrer Variabilität und wegen des ausgezeichneten Wirkungsgrades in Hinblick auf Größe und Gewicht angetan. Wer es anders will, das Teil haftet auch an Magneten und kann mit einer Rundgummivakuumscheibe auch an einer Glasscheibe haften, da diese Scheibe vorne mit einem Magneten versehen ist, alles sehr gut durchdacht.Mir reichen diese Antennen, um 29 Programme ordentlich zu empfangen, das ist wirklich tolllSehr angenehm ist das minimale Gewicht des sehr grazilen , auch vergleichsweise ebenso leichten Antennenkabels. Ich musste auch nicht groß mit der Antenne durch die Gegend laufen, um ein Bild zu bekommen, das mag bei Manchem -abhängig von den Bedingungen - anders sein.. Wer die Sichtbarkeit des leichten Kabels in Kauf nimmt, kommt mit dem beigelegten Saugfuß für Glasscheiben gut zurecht, bei mir reicht es, seitlich eines Schrankes zwei Fensterhäkchen für Küchengardinen anzukleben und die Antenne da einfach einzuhängen, so bleibt die Zuführung hinter den Schränken eben fast unsichtbar, die starken und recht starren ANtennenkabel werden überflüssig...Vorher hatte ich am einem Gerät eine auch erwerbbare Rechteckantenne 42 oder 48 DB- Terminkalender groß, da musste ich noch einen Antennenverstärker zwischen schalten und benötigte für Beides je einen Steckdosenanschluss, um die gleichen ERgebnisse wie mit der neu angeschafften Kleinstantenne zu erzielen..Ich muss sagen, dass meine Grundigs aber auch mein Samsung bei diesen Kleinantennen mit großer Wirkung keine zusätzlichen Steckpätze mehr als die Fernseher selbst benötigen. Das finde ich wirklich sehr erleichternd! Diese Strippenwirtschaft erzeugt bei Frau nämlich nicht wirklich Wohlgefühl.Jetzt hat jeder Fernseher lediglich das normale Kabel für den Stromanschlussund wo man die Antenne deponiert, ist Jedermanns eigene Sache, herrlich!Die Antennen haben also eine wirklich sehr gute Empfangsqualiät ergeben , ich kann sie nur weiter empfehlen, ausprobieren muss Jeder alleine , der Preis ist unschlagbar!

Después de haber probado antenas activas, mucho más caras, y que no funcionaban, decidí buscar antenas "pasivas", y me "tropecé" con esta. Precio muy bueno, y las descripciones de los demás clientes que la habían comprado eran muy positivas, así que me decidí a comprarla, y no me arrepiento. Funciona de maravilla donde la he instalado, en interior, en una habitación. Recibe todos los canales con una calidad estupenda. Hay que encontrarle el sitio (en la pared) donde la recepción sea idónea, pero una vez encontrado, ya no hay que moverla, y todos los canales (en mi caso menos uno en concreto, que tengo que moverla cada vez que lo pongo, para que se vea bien) se ven perfectamente. Totalmente satisfecho con la compra.

My PC has a tuner card in which I can watch live TV from but I had no antenna. Out of all the digital antennas on here, I decided to go with this one and I don't regret it. I love the fact that it has adhesive wings and suction cup mount so I can easily mount it high and get great reception. No stuttering at all. I would definitely recommend it!
