Do new t.v's with built in digital and freeview recievers need to have an aerial point plugged into it??

right so i guess you do then i thought the point of "digital reciever" was so you dont need an aerial
 
You do need an aerial to receive digital freeview channels. The type and position will depend on the strength of signal where you live.

With digital and a good signal I have managed to run a freeview tv from a cheap set top aerial. Trying to do the same with analogue channels I cannot get a viewable picture.

The picture will never be poor on freeview. It will either be on or off. Although with a poor signal (aerial) you may see some image freezing or jerky pixelated images. In that case you will probably need a better aerial.

You might find this page handy to check your freeview coverage http://www.radioandtelly.co.uk/freeview.html

I dissagree aboout the new aerial.

we have freeview, just about see some snow, added a signal amplifier, no snow, clear pictures, same aerial
 
As breezer says a signal amplifier would likely do the trick and make your existing aerial into a "better aerial". :)
Certainly cheaper than having a "digital aerial" installed
