Sure it's a CD? I've always found the TC10 and TC18CD has peaked at about
ch65. Useless below ch 46.

err... yes.. it's a C/D... It even has ickle green plastic bits each end. happy?


It says a lot about Anti's crap marketing! The production people must be
very frustrated. The trouble with this market is that consumer ignorance is
rife, so installers buy ****e aerials just because they look good.

Most aerials are of the very common bog standard type which I needn't bother to describe - nothing that looks particularly "good".
(Does any aerial look "good" to normal people?)

"It looks good. It looks the business. It works. Your neighbours will come knocking on your door to watch TV"
Three guesses which aerial Martin Pickering of Satcure was talking about.

From: "jamie powell"
Anyway, imho this aerial is so lame and manifestly inadequate, that if you
really have installed hundreds of them, it suggests . . . a lack of
competence on your part.

Your experience is of one sample in one location. For you to reach firm
conclusions based on this rather small data base, and then confidently make
the assertion above on that basis, suggests to me that you are either a
complete nutter or you are trying to wind me up.

Talking to someone in the know about lost channels today.

It may be that BBC has moved from 2K to 8K but with a retune the
box may still be looking for 2K.

A software hard reset should cure the problem. Anyone tried that?


But do all STBs have a software hard reset?

Incidentally, there was an item on today's BBC R4 'You and Yours' (21m
27s to 26m 15s).

Digital UK's spokesman, John Askew, got himself well tied in up knots,
having said yesterday that you could even make a pre-war TV set work
with a set-top box!

Yes, what a pity they wasted valuable time rambling on about that.

I presume he meant one working to 405 line standard. I remember the
surprise when the Museum of Photography (IIRC) attempted to make and
replay a 405 line recording on a VHS system and finding it worked.

It shouldn't have surprised them, VHS is only really concerned with video
field rate, which for 405 lines was the same as 625, 50 fields/sec.

Some newer VHS decks don't work, apparently.
And on all decks, tape dropouts would look worse on 405 lines because the
dropout compensator is timed for the 625 line system.

Does anyone here still have a 405 line receiver btw?

Got a Sony 9-9OUB. I bought it direct from Sony on the day before the first
moon landing.

I had a Perdeo Portorama

until a few years ago.

As you will know, it was very popular with caravan
and boat dwellers.

Collectors item now.
