Can anyone recommend an indoor TV aerial which will give a good enough signal for a Freeview box? Or is that just wishful thinking?

Depends, if your in a strong signal area for DTV then a cheap bog standard set top aerial will do the job. If not then 'One for all' do one with a built in signal booster for around £20 at Comet, Dixons etc.

It largely depends on the area you live in. Maybe opt for a satellite dish or a cable connection?Comment

That's too complicated a question to answer. I used to get all the channels except the BBC ones through a roof top aerial, but if I wanted to get the BBC channels I could use an internal aerial which would give me nothing but the BBC channels.
Then I moved to where I live now, and I discovered I could get some of Freeview, but only with the indoor aerial balanced on a CD rack and a pile of books in one particular caorner of the living room.
Instead I got Sky. Much like Linux you arse around for ages with Freeview trying different things and listening to a thousand opinions and it never really quite does what you want, and then just like Windows you pay your money to Sky and it just works. Job done.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

About the best you can get for £20. But it depends on the signal strength in your area. Belive me I lived with it for a month until getting sky.. No comparisonComment

a wideband aerial in the loft worked for me when i was in the sticks in an area that was meant to have limited reception. i appreciate this may not be suitable if you live in a flat.Comment
