Just changing the shape of the connector won't turn satellite dish signals into something compatible with your aerial sockets on the TV and BT box. The simple solution is to get one of the local aerial guys to install a standard TV aerial for you. That, or swap your BT box for a Freesat...

Your TV does have 2 tuners. It's in the spec you posted. One tuner can handle Freeview/Soar (digital)and digital cable. It can also cope with analogue. It's just a matter of how the RF signals are decoded. Your satellite reception needs something different though. Apart from being an...

Thanks for posting the specs. Are you saying that the TV doesn't give you a way to switch between Soarview and Freesat? IOW, it's making you choose one or the other as the only live TV choice?

You won't get any third-party device manufacturer to commit on the way a TV might work. They don't make the TVs, and they can possibly be expected to check on thousands of TV models to see if the TV will or won't do something. All they do is make a device that connects to an optical socket. It...

That's just a little cat flap type lid to stop dust getting in and blocking the light emitter. When you push in the plug the flap folds back and up, just like a cat flap. You can take a pen or similar and move the flap to test it. This is hinged at the top (did I mention cat flaps before? :LOL...

Use the optical out if free. Get hold of an optical to Bluetooth convertor. Make sure the BT headphones have their own volume control.

You're welcome and I'm glad it all worked out well. I appreciate your thanks, but there's a small favour I will ask. In the footer area of each contributor's reply there are three word. One of those is Thanks. Here's how it looks when viewed on a Windows PC. It's similar when viewed via the...

That's true. They have. I remember hearing the Philips Shoqbox PSS110 twenty-odd years ago when I worked for Philips. I was impressed by what these little 1"~1.5" could do. Some of it was bass porting. Some was down to making the drivers have a bigger excursion (Xmax). Creating sound is about...

Hmm.... built-in subwoofers. There's a can of worms. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: Just as the portable transistor radio never sounded as rich in tone as the bigger speakers of a home stereo, then it should stand to reason that a sound bar which might only be a couple of inches tall and maybe 3"...

Wolfbane doesn't always get it right. As @Rodders53 says, it's also out of date WRT the RF channel numbers. I'm on Winter Hill too. My place is a little over 30 miles due south. Wolfbane tells me I need an amplified extra high-gain aerial. I'm running exactly the opposite; a low gain Log...

Look up "Wolfbane signal prediction".

So kettle.. laughing. It's a typo. Should be socket. Re: info. What I am saying is your info on HDMI sockets is correct for standard HDMI sockets, but incomplete for HDMI sockets marked "HDMI ARC". They have some extra functionality that you don't seem to be aware of, even though I have shown...

You're welcome L.L. The information you have on HDMI is incomplete. When the socket is marked ARC on both devices then it provides a link from a TV to a sound bar for audio. That's exactly what you need. Regarding sound bars, and most consumer electronics, there's generally a specifications...

You're correct to be circumspect. Take nothing for granted. It is possible though to buy some sound bars that will cover both bases; optical that you need right now and HDMI ARC that you're very likely to need in the future. This is the rear connections of the Denon DHT-S416 at £249. It isn't...

Presuming you get a HD-capable Freeview recorder, then your hook up is simple. The Freesat recorder is already connected. You said so in your opening post. The Freeview recorder requires the TV aerial cable moving from the TV to the RF IN on the recorder box. I'd recommend adding a fly lead...

TBH, I wouldn't buy any of those long pre-made patch cable for what you want to do. You've no idea whether the finished cable actually performs to spec despite them all quoting an impressive-looking roster of standards: ISO/IEC 11801 & EN 50288 & TIA EIA-568-B.2-1 ETL/3P Verified. There's a...

If you're going to run POE then Cat6 has thicker core wires, so is a better choice because of reducing the heating effect and so reducing power loss a small amount. Cat6 is a thicker cable. This makes it a little more challenging to terminate. Also, if you want to maintain the benefits of the...

Your wireless (Wi-Fi) speed and range has nothing to do with how fast a broadband service you've bought. In fact, you can run a home network without having any sort of broadband connection at all just so long as you don't need to access the internet. Wi-Fi is simply an alternative to a piece of...

No, because the Freeview recorder only records from the internal tuner supplied by the aerial input. There is no feature to record from a SCART socket or any other AV socket. If you want to record from a video level source then you want a DVD recorder or DVD/Hard-drive recorder with a Line In...

PCM is the digital version of a stereo signal. The digital connection (optical / RCA coaxial / HDMI) delivers two channels of audio. For TV audio, we can think of PCM as similar in quality to CD audio. It is a full range audio signal (20Hz~20kHz) and doesn't use any form of compression, so...
