Hello Group - I hope this is not too far off topic. I am having some building work done on my house and will be replacing skirting boards, as such I have a great opportunity to hide cables (network and tv). I want to have a mini hub style thing somewhere out of the way and have everything running into that so that I can then break the tv signal out into different rooms (and use a device to...

Why do I not pick up any picture for channel E4 on my freeview box? The channel is listed, but all I get is a no signal message. I re-tuned the freeview box and still the same. I pick up E4+1 without any problems. TIA

Is there any difference between the older spec'd Aconda 3981ZW and the newer Mimo regarding tube and chassis's technology? I'm aware there are a few feature differences but I was more interested if the Mimo could shine in the same light as the older Aconda when pic and sound quality was of the prime importance. Would anyone rate other TV's above these in the same or lower price bracket? If...

Just been quoted £254 + VAT for a "DMX5" 32 element "high gain" X type aerial from Skyforce!! I nearly wet myself.... Apparently, where I live (WA6 6 - Frodsham) I'd need a wideband aerial - I told him that the transmitter says I need a grouped one (C/D), but apparently "wideband aerials are recommended for digital" and "I wouldn't be able to get channels 40 and 43 which I'd need for radio. ...

Hi all, I have recently got an integrated freeview tv which is fine except there are some radio channels (ie MOJO) which start to broadcast then stop making any sound then just display their radio information. Anyone why this might be happening? Many thanks Sam

I would like to connect two TVs to Freeview boxes. Apparently I have strong signal even in the loft and so there are two options offered to me for consideration a] A single aerial with an amplifier/splitter. b] Two independent wideband aerials In the first case the amplifier/splitter would require 12V feed from the PS in one of the rooms but this arrangement is "guaranteed" to have an...

What a challenge. Imagine being able to turn on your TV, see something that looked watchable, skip back to the start of it (or the last 30 mins - depending on buffer disk space) - no matter what channel it was on? How many DTT tuner cards can I cram in on a PC motherboard. Will it work? I imagine size of hard drive is not an issue for this? -- Adrian C

Hi - Does anyone know how I can correct some rather pronounced pincusioning on my KD28DX40? TIA -- Kenchie insert unfunny tagline here

Apparently the Panasonic DMRES20D DVD-recorder with Freeview is now available at various online stores (like Unbeatable, Electrical Discount UK, LXDirect etc), prices around £270-£300. Also listed as 'In Stock' on the Panasonic website: http://shop.panasonic.co.uk/invt/DMRES20D

I was in London's Brent Cross shopping centre in Dixons and John Lewis playing the HD panel spotting game. Interested to see how these retailers are demoing these panels without satellite signals, and spotted some interesting hardware 'behind the scenes'. Take a look closely next time you visit one of these shops. Dixons - a Shuttle multimedia PC branded "LG - not for sale". John Lewis - an...

I've recently bought a new DVD player which appears to have a very intermittent problem, and I would like to find out if anybody else has noticed the same. The player is a Toshiba DVD/CD/VCD, model SD-150E. Very occasionally it reports a DVD as "bad" upon loading. The same DVD will load and play at other times without the slightest fault. There is, so far, no similar problem with CDs. Just...

Can anyone here solve a "disscusion" in another newsgroup, does RF ever stand for 'rectified frequency' or is it always 'radio frequency'? -- yours S Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione

The following are references in the BBC's Annual Report (out today, see bbc.co.uk): page 17: "Last year we identified extending the availability of the BBC’s digital services as a priority for 2004/2005. Freeview continues to be a success with total sales now over 6.6 million. With potential

It is planned to carry out engineering work starting today, Monday 11 July, to bring into service the new studio equipment for the ITV Wales & ITV West regions. Ultimately the only difference DTT viewers will see is the re-introduction of ITV News Channel. You are likely to see short breaks and glitches on Mux 2 channels during the course of the days work. It is hoped that work will be...

Does anyone know how many new channels will be on DTT when we all go Digital ? If not why are we going to spend millions on going digital when then public will pick up the cost by Taxes & new boxes or IDTV's?

I'm currently (last few days) having very poor reception on my iplayer (lastest software)on ITV channels from RIDGE HILL transmitter - BBC stuff is fine. Could this be weather related at all? Any other possible pointers? Graham

I've just cancelled my Sky subscription so at the end of the month I'll only get the non subscription channels. What is my menu going to be like, I thought the current one was supplied by Sky so will I still get the same one? Geoff Lane

In another post it is annouced the BBC will be starting HD via satellite and hopefully a FreeSat. Does anyone know if this HD will also be on Freeview at the same time? Or are all these people who are currently buying Freeview going to get a shock? Will ITV/Channel Four/Five etc be on this FreeSat? Either normal or HD. Personally haveing gone digital now I will not be rushing into...

Hi, can anybody suggest a good aerial for receiving digital t.v. Approx 18 months ago i tried a Nokia Digibox and received nothing, a search on my postcode tells me i am unable to receive, yet i am only 35 miles from the Birmingham transmitter at Sutton Coldfield. Was looking at the Televes DAT 75 (Approx £50), has anybody any experience with this aerial or is the another grade 1 CAI i can...
