Product Description
This is a really helpful item – and at a very good price. With an easy to read LED display, this device is an essential item for anyone trying to set up an aerial.
- Helps you align your aerial for the best digital reception
- LEDs indicate signal strength
- Connects directly to your aerial
- Ideal for Freeview DVB-T
Comes with adaptors to convert RF to F-type connector and vice-versa.
Set up my Philex loft aerial to pick up the strongest Freeview signal in no time.
Now I receive all freeview channels and not just a selection.
My roof aerial redundant so I don’t have to worry about weather, birds, or paying extortionate prices to get someone out to go up on the roof and adjust the outside aerial.
Paid for itself already.
REALLY pleased.
Great price & prompt delivery

I bought this item to improve my digital signal ready for the analogue turn off/digital turn on.Previously I would take a portable TV into the attic and move the ariel around until I got the best picture.Using this device is much simpler.Already I’ve improved the signal to my existing Freeview box and have set up another ariel in the attic for a different TV.Just connect it to your ariel,switch it on and move the ariel until as many green lights light-up as possible then tighten the ariel clamp and you are finished.Easy.I would reccomend it.

Nicely made, and the adaptors are useful. But in a weak signal area you need to capture every available decibel. A 3 dB increase means a factor of 2 increase in power ratio; the 10 dB light steps are too blunt in this situation. Also, the unlit bulbs pick up every bit of ambient light; so if you’re outside in the daytime with a roof aerial, or anywhere lit at night, you have to shield the face to see which bulbs are lit. However, good value.

This meter is simple to use based on lights,the more lights on the better the signal.Requires 9volt battery not supplied.Used it to set up my loft aerial & saved alot of time.Does exactly what you want & easy to use.

This TV signal strength meter was delivered promtly and functions much as expected.My only criticism is that the sensitivity is not very high, a reasonable signal level being required before the lowest level of signal is detected.
Otherwise I wish I had bought one long ago, it makes setting up a TV antenna so simple !
