Hope this is the right place to Post. Purchased a new digital tv and started to tune the Video in. I am unable to load any digital stations but on auto setup the video will only load the analogue stations. Do I need an other piece of gear or am I just stupid. Any advice would be gratefully received. Davy

There is a digital menu on the dvb section. Press the D/A button on the remote to get the digital on then the menu button, settings and installation. You should find channel search or similar in there.

Could be bad ariel or just bad or non-existatnt coverage. did you check postcode on www.freeview.co.uk.

Are you trying to tune in the new digital TV or a video recorder?

Tks. lads not the aerial , I can receive all stations on the TV, is just that the video recorder will not tune in the digital stations. David

Am not 100% sure as it is a digi tv ... but if it was a digi box you would need to put through vidio player with scart lead and have the vid on av channel ... How does your tv connect to the vid ?

Unless your running your digibox though your video and using your digibox still to select the digi channels you wont pick digital up through the video itself as its not a digital reciever/decoder.


You will need to run like kook says. Either tune the digital into 1 channel on the vid and watch it all through that channel or use a scart into the back of the vid from the digi and use the av or channel 0 to watch digital. If its a digital tv not a digital box thats a different thing all together. I doubt youl b able to get digital into your vid?

Does that make any sense? Its early.

Most digital TVs output an analogue signal from the scart socket even when on standby, so as long as your VCR is connected this way, set it to record from A/V. The only snag is the TV must be switched to the channel you want to record.
You can't record digitally on a VCR.

You need a twin tuner freeview pvr like the one Aldi has in sometimes. Once they broadcast the updates they are brilliant tools. The new one has a 160gig hard drive and costs £100 and you get absolutely hours of telly on that plus to record you just highlight what you want in the programme guide and press the record button and it's done for you. Run it through your VCR and you could record one on the pvr one on video and watch a different channel on your digi tv.

This is one of the things the bods in the TV shops never make clear. Your old TV would have had an analogue tuner built in, but so has your video. This is so you could watch one program but tape another. Now you have a TV with a digital tuner, but your video doesn't have one, so unless as stated above you get a digi-box and use the feed from that into the video you won't be able to get any digital TV channels on your video
