| 784727 | 2009-09-21 21:45:00 | The link that Ken posted for the manual is wrong, try this one, not Kens fault but Freeviews. www.freeviewnz.tv It is quite easy to set up. Put the UHF aerial lead into the RF in socket and put the HDMI cable into the HDMI socket of the tuner and the other end into the back of your Sony LCD TV. The HDMI cable carries both sound and picture, that is all you have to do. If you want to put the sound through an ampifier then connect the sound up via the audio out sockets to your amplifier. :) Thanks Trev. I have two HD recorders in the system,so I presume they need an ariel each? |

Called a senior moment.:) |

| 784730 | 2009-09-21 23:09:00 | Not much point hooking two recorders up as the Zinwell only has a single tuner. So, what you watch is what you record (twice if you daisy chain 2 recorders. At this time, I am still using analogue to watch, digital to record - or vice versa. Like record TV1 news and watch TV3 news at the same time. Am looking at Tivo when they come out in November. Ken |

| 784731 | 2009-09-21 23:14:00 | The price to pay for getting decoder cheap. If I had bought from shop they would have set it up for me. I want two recorders to work,so will have to do what has to be done:confused: |

| 784732 | 2009-09-22 01:42:00 | I just setup freeveiw in the HTPC. A bit dissapointing: not many HD programs. Hardly seemed worth the effort (sky free-to-air Sat is only $18 per month) |

| 784733 | 2009-09-24 08:11:00 | it is going great guns. Cannot see why it should not do so for a very long time. I can think of one reason: crappy chinese electrolytic capacitors in the PSU. for example: www.badcaps.net If I bought one of those things and wanted it to last the first thing I'd do would be to replace the capacitors with Panasonic or another reputable Japanese brand... |
