If anyone knows of a (cheap) DTTV box that has a channel number
display on it I'd be interested for use a radio.

Secondhand, the old OnDigital boxes - various manufacturers - have a
channel number display, and modulators. And survived the last retune
with the split table. And have more buttons on them than most more

I have an old Pace DTR 730 on dodgy box, remote and manual for free,
since Winter Hill DSO has rendered it useless!


Ah. I didn't know anything that had happened so far rendered the old
things useless. Do you know what change in what is being broadcast has
had this effect? (And "useless" in what way - totally, or just channels
on wrong numbers or something like that?)

It has a channel display

It is available for pick up in east Preston area if anyone wanting it
should be passing by (on the M6).

The "reply to" email address to this post is valid.

recent boxes (OK, you may have to leave subtitles on to keep the front
panel buttons working, but that shouldn't matter if you only want it as
a radio!). You don't seem to see them often though!


They are rendered useless by the switch to 8k COFDM at DSO, so to date are now
no use in the Westcountry, Border, SW and North Wales, and Granada areas.

Can anyone tell me what time it is due to happen?
What should we expect, a period of blacks & syncs followed by carrier cut?

I am receiving the signals from South Yorkshire in Sheffield. Is this
transmitter also included in this DSO?

May be wrong but I think the Humax FoxT2 has such.

Can't get 'em no more, worse luck. And yes, it has. I use one

And display some sarky message about your box being too old, if you
want to use any "red button" nonsense, and will also die at the very
moment of digital switchover in any given area, as none of them are 8k
compatible. :(

They don't do 8k modulation, only 2k.

Ah, I didn't know DSO was also coming with 8k (I knew the old dears
couldn't manage 8k). Are they doing a phased switchover?

SWMBO and I were wondering if her late father, a Yorkshire man
in exile, realised it. I suppose we will never know.

Yes, I am and the TV showed South Yorkshire transmitter/network.
