[QUOTE="kevjs, post: 984114, member: 257344"] Hence why I was asking about this one as it's one of the few with no specs published. All the boxes I have which definitely support MPEG4 do support VHF tuning thankfully. Aye, the Triax one AT800 sent out fixed reception on the bedroom set thankfully! The Labgear in the lounge, not so much. We have no amplifiers nowadays - the DSO period was a pain as we had to disconnect the amplifier to watch post-DSO (50kW) broadcasts, but put it back in for pre-DSO (8 or 4kW) broadcasts, and even more annoying was that we had that unfortunate situation going on for months as one multiplex (at 4kW 64QAM) switched much later than the rest. Thankfully the lower power multiplexes now are either DVB-T2 (10 and 13kW) or DVB-T QSPK (5kW) which seem to work fine even though the indicated signal strength is low. Easier said than done when 61+ are unusable due to 4G and the following channels are in use, * indicating those the receiver can tune to (** being weaker than the rest, and *b from a second transmitter we don't use) and the rest being detectable but not watchable - if you put a PAL-I modulator on those channels there is noticeable interference to the analogue picture. Currently using 41,44,47 for the PAL-I outputs, and 47 has noticeable graining but is the cleanest channel left. 22 *b 25 *b 26 28 *b 29 ** 30- 31 ** 33 37 ** 39 40 42 43 45 46 49 * 53 54- * 56 * 57 * 58 * 60 In the UK most sets with MPEG 4 support happen to have DVB-T2 (as DVB-T is MPEG2 only here) - AFAIK none of my DVB-T only set support MPEG4 (although two certainly support MPEG2 HD broadcasts!) Annoying these, sensible priced anyway, modulators only do a single HDMI input, they should be able to accommodate two MPEG 4 channels easily!
