| 819197 | 2009-10-11 09:55:00 | I am new to freeview. and i want to know about the cabling. If i have a freeview/built in TV, how do i run the cable to an UHF antenna? because i thought FreeviewHD was with HDMI? Thanks |

| 819198 | 2009-10-11 09:59:00 | HDMI is if the TV has an HDMI connection / cable (this carries video and audio). Thats not for the aerial. Theyre 2 different things. Terrestrial is UHF (normal outside aerial). Satellite, obviously you need a dish. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 819199 | 2009-10-11 10:18:00 | are you saying that all freeview/built in TVs need satellite? | WestMclaren2004 (7303) | ||
| 819200 | 2009-10-11 10:21:00 | No, freeview built into TV's is probably UHF. Look on the back of the TV, I dont know. I dont have 1, but I do use a USB tuner that supports Freeview, which uses UHF. The boxes you can get, are for UHF or satellite, Depending on what you want or can get | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 819201 | 2009-10-11 10:25:00 | ok thanks! | WestMclaren2004 (7303) | ||
| 819202 | 2009-10-11 10:28:00 | The main diff, terrestrial - UHF - You'll get HD (for the channels that support it). Satellite - Doesnt support HD. I spose if the TV has HDMI connections on it (and your stereo has HDMI inputs as well), you'll get 5:1 audio | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 819203 | 2009-10-11 16:31:00 | There's two alternative supplies for free-to-view; DVB-S from Satellite, and DVB-T which is Terrestrial UHF and this is the service that carries HD. HDMI is to feed (In or out) a signal that is decoded audio and video, such as from or to a DVD player, or a recorder. |
