Installed in my van I have a flip down DVD/ TV, exterior blaupunkt aerial and a free view box (see photos) . I also use a Roku streaming stick on it as well. Everything works fine except the free view.Sometimes I can get a poor picture on the free view but not often generally it doesn’t work at all,so I would like to get it working as best it can.
I assume the aerial is the weak point and I have tried a couple of other free view aerials but no improvement. The aerial output from the free view box is active with a 5v supply directly into the aerial wire from the port on the free view box. The other aerials I tried were not active and I toggled of the power supply via the free view menu. I’m not sure if in doing that it stops the aerial working?
As you can probably tell it’s not my specialist subject.
Any experts or professionals can advise on how to improve this so that the free view is useable. I want to avoid a large permanently installed external roof aerial if possible as it’s a pop top.
