"Thanks for the response I really appreciate the help! I will try it with my tv now and report back. I think there is a possibility of it being the connection in my area. The internet is decent but does have some issues here and there but we are in a new build in Buxton originally from Watford so it’s completely different. I’m also in the loft room of a 3 floor house which may also cause issues too potentially"
The One For All aerial you purchased is not for use in a loft, it should be placed by a window in line of sight of the transmitter. From what I can see from the many reviews of your One For All aerial and other products they manufacture they have on the most part less than favourable reviews. And having only a range of up to 9 miles seems very low to me, many other indoor aerial manufactures quote much further distances, although you should not always trust manufactures claims, and when reading reviews try and weed out the company shills.
I live in a tenement building in central Edinburgh and when the rooftop aerial fell off 7 years ago during a stormy night I bought
an indoor aerial from John Lewis (own brand, no longer available) sceptical that it would work at all. Although due to the positioning of the building it would not pick up from the nearer Craigkelly transmitter it can receive all Freeview HD and SD channels and radio from the further Blackhill transmitter (40 miles). Signal strength on my Humax is in the range of 70% - 90% across all multiplexes and signal quality is 100%.
So shop around on Amazon or try Argos or similar and see what is available and look at the reviews, good and bad to see what the majority have to say. When you have bought an alternative and it works get your money back from Curriys.
