My aerial cable doesn't reach the TV. What do I need?
An aerial extension lead (plug to socket). It pushes onto the end of your existing cable and adds the length, with no loss you'd notice for a few metres.
Checked 10th November 2026.
Worth knowing
- For more than about 10m, or a permanent run to another room, have proper satellite-grade cable fitted instead of chaining leads.
- If you're moving the TV to a room with no aerial at all, Freely brings live channels over Wi-Fi.
