Featuring a powerful 5dBi signal boost, an integrated magnetic base that turns metal surfaces into signal enhancers, and a plug-and-play 2m coaxial cable, it delivers over 120 free-to-air channels without the need for batteries or mains power. Perfectly portable and easy to position, it’s ideal for modern living spaces, travel, and camping, ensuring you stay connected to your favorite shows wherever you are. ## Description Product Description Portable Freeview TV Aerial with Magnet Portable Indoor or Outdoor TV Aerial The August DTA250 is an innately high gain HD Freeview and DAB Aerial. Pick up 100+ Freeview and Freeview HD channels on top of the entire range of DAB Radio stations all without batteries or a mains connection. The only cable needed is the provided Standard Coaxial Antenna Cable 2m long that allows compatibility and flexibility in use. Whether you need the aerial placed on the TV stand or stowed in a camping storage box, you can be sure you have all you need to set-up TV signal. Portable, Powerful Aerial The device itself is just 15cm tall and sits in a 7cm diameter base. This unit can be unscrewed to separate the shaft and base for even more convenient travel. Place in a bag, glove compartment, or even a large pocket! Increased Amplified Reception This portability is accentuated by the Magnetic Base. The integrated magnetic base allows freedom over how high and which direction the high gain Freeview aerial is positioned. Once correctly in place and receiving, the magnet is also used to boost reception by converting any attached magnetic objects into signal boosters! We have seen customers use biscuit tins, metal rules and metal tent pegs all to gain a little extra signal. Use the DTA250 as a truck TV aerial and the vehicle frame as the magnetic object for exceptional signal boosting. High Gain Engineering You can still receive great signal without a magnetic object thanks to the high gain engineered into the outdoor TV antenna. Having up to 5dBi of gain with no power input is a feat of compact, accessible engineering. Place on a windowsill, a dashboard or a bedside table and find nearby signals without any hassle. Simple Design, Universal Appeal Magnetic base and 2m long standard coaxial cable allow easy placement and positioning wherever you prefer. Small enough to hide away behind the TV and subtle enough to leave visible on the TV Unit or Windowsill. Only one wire to worry about with no power supply or outlets restricting you. When you need live HD television in - A New Home That for Some Reason Has No Aerial Port in The Bedroom - A Student Flat or Dorm Room Mini-TV - A Kitchenette Overlooking the Living Room for Radio and TV While Cooking and Eating - A Hard-To-Reach Loft or Basement that the Idea of Trailing Cables to is Just Too Daunting - A Truck Portable TV for Road Trips and Long Work Nights Or maybe all your current Aerial ports are filled! Whatever the room, this Aerial has your back. Please note Please note that reception is dependent on geographical variances as well as situational differences. In areas with few transmitters, high walls, thick walls, powerful neon lights and other digital interferences like 4G signal sources TV reception will be lessened. Please ensure you place the DTA250 on a magnetic object near a window or rooftop for best results in low-reception areas. Amplified HDTV Aerial for 4K HD Entertainment All in breathtaking 4K Ultra HD for the best picture quality, most vivid colors, and stunning sound. Magnetic Base For Increased Versatility Not only can the magnetic base ensure the aerial is by a window or high-reception area but also converts the attached metallic surface into a receiver! Receive better signals by attaching the device to a metal object Optimised for Digital Reception Receive breath-taking HD coverage on 4K Ultra HD Screens and Monitors. Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) allows the entire spectrum of full HD TV. Enjoy picture quality, vivid colour, and high-fidelity sound Review: Had read that putting it on to a metal surface is good so, being in the kitchen - May 2015 update. Had this since October 2014 and have used it all over the UK when caravanning. Never failed to get a good picture, far easier than the caravan aerial, not having to point in the transmitter direction and gets better reception. At Coniston Caravan Club site this last weekend and found it gave better reception and as least as many channels as the site bollard boosting connection. Going to but another one for my laptop in the study so I can watch/record TV. Bought this thinking at this price I've nothing to lose. Connected it up in the kitchen to an Avtex L187DRS TV which we use for our camping trips, no signal. Had read that putting it on to a metal surface is good so, being in the kitchen, I placed it (as you do) on an empty olive oil tin! Instant picture and good quality. Then took TV and aerial out to our VW California camper-van and plugged the TV into 12 volt socket for power and put the aerial onto the windscreen pillar. Powered up and immediately got good quality pictures on all the channels. Looking forward to trying it out in anger, as they say, but so far it looks like a very good acquisition and at this price a steal. desertcart more than usual great service, Ordered at 1:00 pm Saturday arrived following day, Sunday, at 10:30 am and this was on First Class delivery/ two working days. Well done. Review: STRONG SIGNAL - Great product , i installed it up in the loft and scanned for first install ,it found twelve more Channels than my previous TV Aerial and it`s Quarter the size of my previous one .The picture is nice and clear without any break up and the High Defintion Channels look amazing This is well worth a Tenner, but remember the higher up it is mounted or placed the better the picture will be!.. Heres a tip for you ,get hold of a Biscuit tin lid or one of those metal ones used for Roses Chocolates and place the Magnetic base on it then mount it as high up in your attic/loft as you can ,it makes the signal even stronger and clearer ## Features - FULL FREEVIEW RECEPTION - Access Freeview and Freeview HD as well as High Gain DAB Radio.

Kind Regards, Daffodil UK **Q: will it work on my portible tv in my truck** A: Providing there's reception and a socket I don't see why not. **Q: Will this work with Freview HD channels?** A: My aerial received the Freeview HD channels. I used my aerial upstairs on a tin of food then placed on a window sill facing in the direction of the TV transmitter which is 30 km away. **Q: Wil it work on my Toshiba TV not flatscreen just tv** A: Yes it should do as long as it has Arieal connection ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had read that putting it on to a metal surface is good so, being in the kitchen *by 1***S on 12 October 2014* May 2015 update.
