Although let's be fair, a large conurbation like Manc would be served well for signal. |
Not necessarily. If that conurbation has a lot of steel buildings (office blocks etc) or cranes, they will actually have a negative impact on the signal. When I was a kid, we lived in Lewisham and we didn't get a reliable television signal for 9 months while Citibank were building ther regional office in Lewisham.

Has anyone got one that gives good reception please? TIA.

Regarding the original query: We have a freeview box set up so we can watch something else while recording from NTL (the amount of times we do watch something else while recording is minimal, so it's not worth paying £15 extra a month for a second NTL box).
We use
http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st...clickfrom=name and get a good signal as long is it's by the window and both antennae are extended. Having said that, we are only a few miles from Crystal Palace, and there are no high rise buildings (steel or otherwise) around us. If we move the freeview box though, we need a signal amp.

Something similar happened to my boss. He ordered NTL and was told they could not install it as his address didn't exist. He disputed this, having lived there for 5 years and eventually they sent an engineer round. Turns out his address wasn't on the postcode database issued by the Royal Mail, as he had similar problems ordering a TV online.
