Problems with TV since digital switchover

[ann255]

Elektra, dtr downstairs Alba Aldtr160, and upstairs Bush Bu11fvrsd50.  Both seem to be behaving at the moment.

Note what you say re retuning, but too much in there for me to take a chance.

The word is diapole.

Ok, I only asked as there is a software problem with some Bush,Hitachi and other makes and you mentioned in another post that you had a Hitachi

I don't know if the Australian/Kiwi's have the same problem that happened in the UK.
Certain DTR's were deemed to be unsuitable, because of age?
(As I recall (in UK) the standard for digital receivers was ammended and subsequently when set to receive the new digital signals all that was received was mush. - My choice of word )
Your local dealer should be able to advise if the make/model of DTR is quoted.

Yes you are right Elektra, I did previously have a Hitachi.  I couldnt resolve the problems I was having with it (the other post) hence I purchased a new dtr.

(There is no such thing as a 'digital aerial', just put about by some installers for extra money)

For the benefit of users other than UK - sorry Brian but there is a difference, at least out here in the antipodes      

The bits that stick out from the main bit (dunno what it's called) are a different length. Shorter I think but don't quote on that specific.

ALL radio and television signals are analogue - the difference is in the way that the analogue signal is modulated when used for 'digital' transmissions.   The long aerials with the bits sticking out of different length are called Yagi arrays, named after the Japanese gentleman that invented them
