Re:TV, Aerial, computer set up problem
Hello all, I have a new windows 7 computer, connected to my TV. It has Windows media centre.
I have a New Virgin media box, no aerial as it is HDMI.
My TV has of course got aerial holes.
I attached the aerial straight to the computer, Windows media centre works great, all digital freeview channels ok.
Problem--So it does not work on my TV.
So I get a Splitter, attach it to my TV, attach a newly purchased aerial from the splitter, to my Computer, does not work, only the digital TV receives freeview.
I have only the TV, Virgin HD Box, and the Windows 7 computer connected.
Is there a way around to get both working??
Thanks, gep

The RF gets disabled when HDMI is used.

Re: TV, Aerial, computer set up problem
Assuming you have connected the splitter correctly, it's likely you don't have enough signal from the the aerial to drive both freeview tuners. Is the aerial external or is it the set top variety? If its external you will need an amplified splitter. If its the set top variety adding an amp might cause more problems than it solves.
