    Technika TV aerial socket fault

    The DTV/USB option had disabled itself in the source menu. My Toshiba freeview TV has the TV source option but no DTV/USB option so presumed it was the same source needed on the Technika TV. With DTV/USB enabled again, all channels are loud and clear. From what I've read TV source is for...

    Tipo stat housing spout

    '69 reg 356 1.4 model The spout has broken off, presumably due to heat fatigue. The local Fiat parts say only the entire stat housing is available, not the spout on its own. Its got a hex collar so looks to be a screw in fit. Anyone know where I can get a new spout separately?

    Technika TV aerial socket fault

    Have already had an aerial cable plugged in when adding the cable to the aerial. It did work but not now. Have tried the TV on the wall socket/cable I know works yet 'no signal'. There is a TV reset in the Picture sub menu, just reset with the OK but not bringing the aerial feed back to life...

    Technika TV aerial socket fault

    LCD19-910 model No signal for TV in the menu. I had the TV back off and tested with a meter. From the edge of the pcb, pin 1 has continuity to the center pin and the socket barrel has continuity to pin 8. I've tapped the row of pins with the soldering iron in case of a dry joint but still no...

    Freeview aerial comparison

    I get my TV signal from Pontop. According to Freeview for my post code, all channels from Pontop have good signal. I've read that a loft aerial can expect a 30% reduction in signal strength compare to an outside mount.

    TV coax cable

    Yes, the pixelation is across all channels when it happens, even with good signal. Having given it some thought, the cable I mentioned runs down in the wall from the attic to the the g floor room. The wall is the divider between mine and next door. The houses are wood construction and next...

    TV coax cable

    I got a screenshot of google map, marking a line between the transmitter and my street then zoomed into my street and copied and pasted part of the drawn line to get the angle - about 10° anticlockwise from the apex of the house roof.
