SV9365

We decided to test out the quality of a popular indoor aerial model just to test out how acceptable the Digital Television experience may be for those without a good roof-mounted antenna.

The SV9365 is a technical looking device that’s built to sit atop one’s Television set. Of note is the fact that this aerial will work fine for both analogue and digital reception. We set the unit up, completely bypassing our mounted antenna and set it to maximum gain. For testing purposes we used the standard Freeview set top box. The Freeview box had no trouble tuning all the channels in as normal, which was a good sign.

However, we noticed that some channels would have varying degrees of reception quality regardless of the gain setting on the antenna itself. Moving the aerials around in attempt to pick up a better signal worked to some extent, but the aerial still did not perform to the standards one comes to expect when using a roof mounted aerial.

Overall the unit is reasonably successful in picking up a signal and should be a good alternative for those who cannot use a proper aerial. With that said, a proper aerial is really worth the investment and improves the Digital Television experience significantly.

The One for all SV9365 indoor aerial receives a 3/5 for its acceptable performance, falling short of a better rating due to the unmatched performance of a mounted aerial.
