Is it possible to get reception via rabbit ears in a Freeview compatible TV? i have a panasonic viera V20 and i have connected the rabbit ears to to them. but given the location the TV doesnt seem to pickup any signals. how can i improve this?
I have got it to work from an upstairs bedroom in Karori with the TV and rabbit ears close to a window directly facing Mt Kaukau. Move it to the other side of the house, it doesn't work - so I don't really fancy your chances.

Yes, if you live somewhere where the signal is so strong that this works.
Works perfectly for me with this incredibly small antenna, no problems with stuttering BUT we have a firewall (physical/metal) in the direction it is facing which I suspect reflects the signal off the hill which we have a near perfect line of sight to.
Dick Smiths sell amplified rabbit ears which helps. I can pick it up with a regular cheap pair but it's a bit temperamental, eg works fine on TV2 but not TV3. Using the amped one it's good. We've got no antenna on the roof and given how mind numbingly useless my landlord is, there's no hope of one ever turning up, so rabbit ears is my only option.
