I would appreciate any answers which will help me with my aerial. After being at a friend's house at the weekend and seeing the quality of picture and sound he got with Freeeview I would like to get it in my house. I have checked reception predictor and for analogue the results are Group B,

I was seeing all sorts of errors/crashes when recording to my PC from a DEC 2000T after buying a Hitachi widescreen and couldn't work out what I had done. Until, and yes it is obvious now, I realised that the remote for the Hitachi TV changes the DEC box, in particular Volume Down (or maybe Up) puts the DEC box into a type of standby mode and something else (I forget now) changes the...

I have a perennial problem with BBCi. I live on the Bristol Channel coast and therefore get signals from both Mendip and Wenvoe transmitters. Whenever I do an auto-rescan on the Nokia it picks up all the stuff from Wenvoe...which I do not want. I manually delete all the Welsh channels, but then when watching the various BBC channels and select interactive, I can't get any miniscreen of the...

Does anyone have one of these yet? I notice kustompcs now have them for ~ £100. It would be interesting to hear and users comments on this device (the 4th brand of pci dttv avaliable in the UK afaik). Thanks Jaime

I wonder if anyone has some information on how different will this new box be compared to GDB3? Roman

Hi, What would people recommend for a cheap, basic set top box? I'm not interested in fancy EPGs or OSDs, or dual scarts, or anything like that. All it needs to be is stable. Thanks, Joe

Some thoughts and missives from recent experiences/tales........ I was recently in the Farnham branch of a smallish chain electrical retailer where a customer was asking about the Pace Freeview box to use in Farnham. The shop assistant asked him if he could get a good CH5 picture. He replied that although he could receive CH5 the picture was not very good because he used the Basingstoke...

I have an automatic scart switch on ebay if anyone wants one. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3064156709

But what about the MASSIVe amount of light entertainment and films that the BBC has. Why don't the BBC set up a freeview film/light entertainment channel? They sell it all to UKtv.

Andrew Hodgson wrote in message ... Thanks; I went to Richer today to return my Philips and they offered me the Mitsubishi box, which I was a bit wary about, snip It's working beautifully now, but I haven't used any other ftv boxes. It seems a lot quicker than cable and satellite boxes (analogue and digital)...

My Pace DTVA was showing an intermittent fault, switching itself on and off at random short intervals. I've found another 230VAC-6VDC power supply from some defunct gadget or other, soldered the right sized plug onto it (getting the polarity right) and all seems to be well - touch wood. You might want to try this if your Pace box shows similar problems before you lash out for a new one.

Can any owners of the above sony IDTV or other similar sony models tell me if their TV makes a buzzing sound when turned on? Mine makes a buzzing sound from the internal electronics (not the speakers). It is loud enough that when I'm sat about 3m from the screen I have to set the volume above about a 1/3rd to drown out the buzz. It is just loud enough that I'm not sure if sony just use crap...
