Freeview National Retune Day 30th September

Posted 26-09-2009 at 11:48 AM by rolfw

If you've seen the notice appearing on your TV, don't panic, it should be a straightforward procedure, to be carried out after midday on the 30th.

Most set top boxes have a menu button, from where you can access the tuning menu, do a complete retune or install, all channels should then be found.

If you are not sure of the procedure for your freeview box or TV, then there are some instructions and manuals available here: http://www.tvretune.co.uk/productmanuals/

Well the picture attached is where I had to put

Fibre optic LNBs the future?

Posted 04-07-2008 at 01:05 PM by rolfw

At the recent CAI trade show in the midlands, there were several fibre optic head end systems on display, mostly for use in larger systems, but still of interest.

Of most interest was a prototype from Global Invacom, a fibre optic LNB, requiring a 12v supply at the dish, but otherwise only a single fibre back to the distribution point in the house/apartment block.

The beauty of fibre optic over coax cable is the practically non-existent loss, less than 1db over 100m....
