The distribution amp has only one input for TV signals. It's the UHF input. The other one if for radio aerials - FM or/and DAB. If you're trying to connect the Sky RF2 Out into the FM-DAB connection then that will cause you problems straight away. The signal path is exactly like the diagram I...

Are you talking about Freeview reception in total, or trying to get the RF2 out signal from the Sky box? Alexandra Palace muxes - 31, 32, 37 Crystal Palace muxes - 22, 23, 25, 26, 28, 30 Crystal Palace local mux - 35 When you say you get nothing from ch 50-68, if we're talking Freeview then...

If you want something a bit better than the Chinese 'no brand' stuff then I have a CYP EL-31SY sitting here redundant. It's a 3-in:1-out switch. New prices range from £80 to £120. Cheapest s/h is one on eBay is £15, but that one has no power supply so that would be an extra cost. Mine has the...

Each switch has an impact on the signal. It's like Chinese whispers. The original signal degrades. Eventually it reaches a tipping point we call 'the digital cliff'. This is the point where the losses mount up enough that the signal collapses. It's impossible to predict with certainty whether...

His aerial will be one of the early wideband high-gain types from when there was panic about needing a 'digital aerial'. (There's no such thing.) All the dust has pretty much settled regarding changes to terrestrial broadcasting. They've spent almost two decades jugglingbaround frequencies...

Beware double or even quadruple counting of elements. Marketeers like big numbers. Shoppers aren't experts, and so in the absence of any solid knowledge they fall back on numbers, because 'more is better, right?' This is how we end up with this being called a 48 element when it's nothing of the...

Do you or your Do you or your friend have a laptop or desktop computer with a DVD-ROM drive? A computer will have an easier time of reading a disc, so if it is salvageable then this is the route. Once you/he has cracked reading the discs then the next stage is to make some copies. The first...

If it was, it still wasn't good enough to prevent the telly being 'relocated'. ;) :LOL:

It looks like your original bracket was riveted onto the back panel. That's very unusual for a domestic TV. I'd normally associate that kind of mounting with some sort of high-security bracket. Anyway, to make progress here you're going to have to remove the back panel of the TV to get a look...

If you followed the video, and the VM box detected the Sony TV, then offered codes for it from the onscreen display, then the issue is either the button sequence isn't being followed correctly (dodgy button, perhaps?) or the remote needs to be reset, then paired again with the box first. This is...

Those who said you get used to whatever size are correct. IMO, this whole "correct screen size vs viewing distance" thing has got out of hand. In the rush to publish some kind of guide, too many websites forget to mention that their size recommendation is based on seeing the extra 4K UHD detail...

Keep helping folks. That's the main thing. (y)

I'll admit that I cheat and use spellchecker on the phone. The keyboard is too small, and I am always hitting a letter instead of the space bar or hitting the letter next to tge one I want, just like I did there. When I am typing really quickly things get really messed up. Spellchecker just...

One of the HD Humax boxes will cover pretty much all of that. Just for clarity, the adverts are those on TV, so you can skip those in a recording by using fast-forward. Regarding 'set up and forget'. you don't really have that with any terrestrial TV receiver or recorder. If or when the TV...

There are a lot of things happening at the same time. (1) Freeview and Freesat used to be separate entities. Although both part of the public service broadcast system they were almost rivals, each negotiating their own contracts with the various TV channel providers. That has changed. The two...

Apologies in advance to any electricians here present, but this looks like an electrician's bodge in a new build. Rather than admit they haven't a clue when it comes to AV and TV aerial cabling, they just blunder through trying to wing it with what they know from mains wiring without realising...

Here be dragons. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: There's a whole raft of things that have an influence on picture quality. If money was no object, you'd buy one of the new generation quantum dot (QD) OLED TVs 80% of the time. The remaining 20%, for those times when the TV has to compete against huge...

There's native refresh rate (how many times a whole picture can be displayed on a TV panel), and there's the motion processing rate, which is how many goes round the processing electronics has at scaling and filling in the missing bits between real pixels. The important one is native refresh...

That 5 should be a letter S. Try UE48H6670 as the product code.
