Wouldn't have been the first time I've been given a similar box and
asked to set it up to get as many freeview channels as their aerials can
receive....

That seems to me to be a perfectly sensible request Glenn,
and they won't be disappointed unless they expect MHEG.

As it's for terrestrial broadcasts and it does NOT receive Freeview it
must only have an analogue tuner front end. The 1500 channel capacity
is obviously for LW and AM radio stations.

It doesn't do Freeview.

Should Point out that these boxes are DTT receivers and don't follow the
standard EPG/Channel lineup. Channels are stored in the order they are
found by the receiver. You then have to sort them with the hope of not
having the box rescan and loose channel order again...

Mind you, part of the fault is Silvercrest's for their confusing STB
model numbers. I guess that somebody at Lidl put in that description for
the SL-35-T by analogy -- because the SL-35 satellite receiver can be
correctly described as a Free-to-air receiver that can't receive
"freesat" or subscription channels.

Yes it does.


What makes you think that when Lidl say that it does not receive
Freeview in ALL of their adverts.

Same mistake being repeated. Google it and there's plenty of info
including http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...d.php?t=703940

It doesn't do MHEG5 but can get Freeview.
