It is pluged into an areial that is linked to a sky dish via a splitter as other house mates have sky .

I dont want to play arround with the dish is there anything else I can do like with the settings on the box?

Thanks

Mike

888401 2010-05-26 12:09:00 Presume it is the Freeview satellite box you bought and not the terrestrial version? decibel (11645)
888402 2010-05-26 20:25:00 Im not sure does it make a difference? mogley123 (15790)
888403 2010-05-26 20:57:00 Yes.

if I spoke to you in Greek/Korean/German/Spanish would you understand?

DVB-S (Freeview) and DVB-T (Freeview|HD) are not the same, and take different aerials, different hardware, different video resolutions.

888406 2010-05-27 00:07:00 What make and model is the tuner. Post a link to the Trademe site you got it from.
I have a Freeview terrestrial tuner which works off a UHF aerial. It also receives programes in HD format when transmitted which Satellite Freeview won't.

888407 2010-05-27 06:05:00 Why is everyone assuming he has a DVB-T box?

If it's a DVB-S box, then it's probably just the LNB settings.

We don't really know.. do we!

Perhaps there should be some sort of test one has to pass before being allowed to buy a satellite or UHF box??
