The good news is that'll you'll be able to plug a Video sender receiver
into them using an appropriate Scart to jack adaptor.

The bad news is that it sounds like Freeview reception using a Freeview
box local to the TV, will be a non starter unless you run in a proper
aerial feed for it.


With only yellow and white inputs it looks like the tv is a mono set. No
problem, the video sender will work fine but maybe you should consider
upgrading the tv so you can get the weather forecast in full glorious
nicam stereo sound!


NICAM capability of a TV will be useless after ASO.

If you do go the video-sender route try one of the newer 5.8ghz ones. I've
just got one and it is far superior to the older type. No interference at
all from my broadband wifi or microwave cooker, unlike the original which
was plagued with it.

For digital television transmissions, the sound is not NICAM stereo but
MPEG-2 stereo for SD and H.264 for HD.

And is it not the case that for video senders, they only transmit a
monophonic sound channel? Or did I get that wrong.

Mine certainly has stereo connections and so did the previous one.

You can stuff a SPDIF signal through the video channel of most senders, and
transmit digital audio, but of course without any video :-)

Assuming that the yellow and white sockets are *inputs* [1] and not
*outputs*, you could probably feed them using video senders - provided you
get some with phono [2] connections rather than SCARTs.

[1] If they are inputs, there will be some way of selecting 'External' or
somesuch, rather than using the sets' own tuners.

[2] With the ones which I have - from Maplins - the units themselves have
phono connections, and they are provided with Phono to SCART adapters to
enable them to be connected to SCART-based devices. If you ignore the
adapters, you can use phono-to-phono leads to connect them to phono-based
devices. For example, I sometimes use mine with a nesting-box camera, which
has phono connections, and sometimes to connect TV sound to my Hi-Fi
system - again with phono connections at the hifi end.

It wouldn't by any chance happen to be a Mr. and Mrs. Bird who live there
would it?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Peter" saying
something like:

Cabling is really a nightmare with lathe and
plaster walls and ceilings.


I'm not surprised. You'd have to be really careful with the weight of
machine tools up there.

Quite! And, may I add, he was just one letter short of getting into a
lather, ;-)
