New Digital TV

Orior · 21-10-2006, 22:39

I bought a new Digital TV (Samsung LCD TV http://audiovisual.kelkoo.co.uk/b/a/...100311823.html )

The slim-line TV is for my kitchen, and I dont have a PC or cable in there, so I bought a small arial for the TV too. The ariel is a One-for-All DVB-T VHF/UHF Antenna.

Problem is there that the picture is very grainy, like its only picking up analog.

Should I buy a free view box? What should it connect in to?

Could I add another extension to my NTL box, so that it would send a signal to this new TV?

Thanks in advance.

If you want digital freeview or anything else you will need a STB. The TV will only pick up analogue stations.

Oooh, another excuse to post one of my drawings!

This will allow you to do just about everything. Click the pic for some more words about how it all works. There are bits you can miss out if you don't need them. Any questions - just ask.

buy a freeview box then connect your ariel to that and then the freeview to your TV by scart.
