No need for an additional power supply Before You Buy – Important Information 1. Check Your Local Signal Availability Visit freeview.co.uk/freeview-channel-checkerW eak or no signal in your area may result in poor or no channel detection, even if the antenna is working properly.) 2. TV Compatibility Required Your TV must have a built-in digital tuner that supports Freeview/DVB-T/T2 . If your TV is older or only supports analogue signals, you will need a Freeview Set-Top Box or External DVB-T2 Digital Tuner . 3. Correct Setup Is Essential Place the aerial close to a window or at a higher position away from thick walls, large metal surfaces, or electronic devices. Always perform a channel scan after connecting the antenna. Some TVs may require changing the input source to ‘DTV’ or ‘TV’ before scanning. 4. For Weak Signal Areas This antenna is best suited for most areas with signal coverage. If you are in a very weak-signal area (e.g., rural, surrounded by tall buildings), we recommend our August DTA300 High-Gain Antenna (28dBi) or August DTB115 Amplify Signal for better results.

Simple to use. - Really good product. Litteraly just took it out of the box, plugged it in to TV and got perfect images. Works really well and can't fault it. Image clarity was easily as good as the main Aeriel ot cable TV which made it really simple to set up TVs in other rooms Review: Very very good! - I am genuinely shocked! I have tried three other types of TV aerials for my bedroom TV, each one had higher reviews than this product! And yet this product will not be returned because from the minute I plugged it in I received a signal! And the signal was quite strong which I am very shocked about because it was the cheapest product with less reviews. Picture quality is great, it sits nicely mounting on my windowsill, installation was simple because all you need to do is screw it to the base, it’s easy to use because you just plug-in screw in and go. Overall, I am very happy with this product. (Now I just need to try and stop my cat from thinking it’s her new toy) 🤣 ## Features - Optimized for Digital Reception - Receive clear Freeview broadcasting in Bedrooms, Lofts and Caravans - Magnetic Base - Place on metal surfaces to increase Signal Reach and Reception - Compact and Portable Design - Lightweight and palm-sized, ideal for travel, caravans or small spaces Portable TV's, Also Perfect for Multimedia Players, and Freeview and Set Top Boxes. - Standard Coaxial Cable - Ideal for use with all Digital Ready devices such as Freeview Boxes and TV's - 6.5ft Cable – Attach to the roof of Trucks, Cars, Caravans, and Motor Homes with ease (Please Note, If you wish to return this product, please contact us directly (Call us on 0845 250 0586 between 09:00 – 17:00 Monday to Friday.) and we will help you with this process. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007JPOX8O | | Antenna | Television | | AntennaDescription | Television | | Best Sellers Rank | 1 in TV Antennas | | Box Contents | Antenna with cable | | Brand | August | | Brand Name | August | | Colour | Black | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 39,702 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05053047000965, 08853447026926 | | Impedance | 75 Ohms | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 6.8L x 6.8W x 14H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Antenna | | Item Weight | 50 Grams | | Manufacturer | ONJ62 | | Manufacturer Part Number | DTA240 | | Maximum Range | 50 miles | | Maximum range | 50 miles | | Model Number | DTA240 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product dimensions | 6.8L x 6.8W x 14H centimetres | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Antenna:** Television - **Brand:** August - **Colour:** Black - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 05053047000965, 08853447026926 - **Impedance:** 75 Ohms - **Manufacturer:** ONJ62 - **Maximum range:** 50 miles - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Product dimensions:** 6.8L x 6.8W x 14H centimetres - **Unit count:** 1.0 count ## Images ![August DTA240 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51V4fu+kXrS.jpg) ![August DTA240 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bdr9dCV+L.jpg) ![August DTA240 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lsIAN0UGL.jpg) ![August DTA240 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61EXpNLu9zL.jpg) ![August DTA240 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GeIrnX0TL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: can i put this on the wall outside** A: Only if you metal plate for it to stick to **Q: would this work in a truck in uk** A: Yes - i use it with an extension lead so i can position it on the roof of the lorry cab - works great in most places - obviously you'll find the odd place it wont work but on the whole its been fantastic. **Q: Would this work on a Samsung Virgin Media digital box??** A: No, because there is an ordinary coaxial plug on the end, not the type used on a VM digibox. Why would you need this type of aerial on a VM system, anyway as this is a cable system, not a terrestrial system? Regards **Q: on the mast but there are 4 grooves, inthe absence of any instructions, should there be 4 rings or which grooves should the 3 rings fit?** A: Mine came in 2 parts. A magnetic base and a “mast” which screwed to the base. There are 4 “grooved rings”, one at the top and three further down - there is nothing which attaches to these. I can only assume that you have a different model to me, sorry ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good product. Simple to use. *by B***1 on 20 May 2026* Really good product.

VERY good value!! *by J***H on 11 April 2026* It works. Not as good as I hoped, BUT I think it is a transmitter system problem and NOT the aerials fault. At least as good as my roof aerial.
