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. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

No interference at all from my broadband wifi or microwave cooker, unlike the original which was plagued with it. Bob I think mine is being wiped out by Bluetooth signals from nest door |

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. |

You can stuff a SPDIF signal through the video channel of most senders, and transmit digital audio, but of course without any video :-) -- Mark Please replace invalid and invalid with gmx and net to reply. www.paras.org.uk |

In an earlier contribution to this discussion,
Peter wrote: Thanks for the replies. The TVs have set top aerials (analogue reception not too good). Looking at the back they have two jack plug sockets marked Audio (white) and Video (yellow). Cabling is really a nightmare with lathe and plaster walls and ceilings. 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. -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..

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. |

The message
from Grimly Curmudgeon contains these words: 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, ;-) -- Regards, John.
