[QUOTE="Dog's dinner, post: 747466, member: 362627"] I think you may be onto something there, newzapper, about the terrestrial tuner and/or aerial. Since I live just a few hundred yards from the local retransmitter, the terrestrial signal should be quite strong. I currently use an active (mains powered) hi def aerial, made by a firm called One for All. I did a bit of investigating into problematic ts streams, and it seems that the slightest transmission glitch can render them unuseable, cause players to freeze, etc. There are several ts repair programs , but none of them worked with my defect streams. I just tried connecting the aerial to the DVD recorder, and passing the signal through that to the Dreambox. The recorder picked up an audio signal, but was couldn't decipher the visual signals. So I've connected the recorder to the Dreambox with a conventional scart. The picture's everything but high definition, but at least it'll be recordable if the Dreambox output is the telivision channel I want to record from. One thing I'd like is to learn more about the various images, blackholes, Barry Allens, and the like. Something like dreambox imaging/flashing for idiots. Web searches usually take you to forums where people are asking why their Barry Allen doesn't work, which is no help to me who doesn't even know what it's s'posed to. (Just found a Barry Allen for Dummies - though it doesn't say what a Barry Allen is, what it does, or why anyone would want it.) [/QUOTE]
