Would I need another ariel or is there one included - I have checked Freeview site and I seem to be able to receive it? Any guarantees with product?

Would you recommend this device for me?

Easycom: If it is your area that struggles to receive Freeview then any device will struggle to pick up channels. This device will pick up channels available in the area, however for an improved picture we would recommend connecting to an external aerial.
