| | geek_spyware | March 24, 2008, 7:22 pm | #2 | | How is decoder connected to TV, RF (puke), composite (not much better than RF), svideo, component, or HDMI? I assume you are taliking about the DVB-S mpeg2 (satellite) service or are you talking about the new high definition DVB-T H.264 (digital terrestrial) service to officially start on April 2nd. Satellite service is a poor choice if you live in Auckland. | | geek_stuw | March 24, 2008, 7:25 pm | #3 | | Spyware re your last comment, why is that? | | geek_spyware | March 24, 2008, 7:29 pm | #4 | | I meant that given DVB-S satellite service is only standard definition and will be until another satellite is launched that the DVB-T H.264 service offers better picture quality. TVNZ upscaling TV1/TV2 to 1280x720p50. TV3 upscaling to 1920x1080i25 and transmitted HD content from April 1. | | geek_stuw | March 24, 2008, 7:39 pm | #5 | | Fair enough But do most people really give a shizzer about HD compaired to SD? I certainly don't. | | geek_frankie46 | March 24, 2008, 7:42 pm | #6 | | Guys love your debate but in plain english are you saying everyone with freeview can only watch in b & w. Everything connected correctly and all perfect bar colour. | | geek_flewy | March 24, 2008, 7:43 pm | #7 | | I'd rather have HD
Black and white,,, TV aint set to NTSC is it? | | geek_stuw | March 24, 2008, 7:45 pm | #8 | | Frankie check to see if your decoder is set to s video. That could be your problem. | | geek_spyware | March 24, 2008, 7:46 pm | #9 | | 576 interlaced lines was developed in the 1950s to run on a CRT and is unsuitable for modern LCD or plasma screens. If you like Sky's 576i low bit rate debauchery with visible macro blocks you may disagee but 1280x720p50 and 1920x1080i25 has 4 to 5 times as many pixels as 576i25 and is thus suited to modern displays. | | geek_woogmo | March 24, 2008, 7:50 pm | #10 | | Most people dont even care sky is good, its just tv after all | | geek_frankie46 | March 24, 2008, 7:51 pm | #11 | | Hi Stuw How do we check about s video? | | geek_stuw | March 24, 2008, 7:52 pm | #12 | | What brand / model decoder do you have? | | geek_frankie46 | March 24, 2008, 7:58 pm | #13 | | DSE G7500 Thanks | | geek_frankie46 | March 24, 2008, 8:03 pm | #14 | | Big thank you Stuw We have it all sorted. cheers. | | geek_stuw | March 24, 2008, 8:13 pm | #15 | | Sweet was that the prob? | | geek_frankie46 | March 24, 2008, 8:18 pm | #16 | | It Was Adjustment had to be made to the TV for the preset colour system. Again big big thank you. x | | geek_spj2 | March 24, 2008, 8:18 pm | #17 | | Stuw, why would you not want to have high def. if you were offered it? I don't understand. | | geek_stuw | March 24, 2008, 8:24 pm | #18 | | Because I am more than happy with the present system. I never said I didn't want it. But I really don't give a rats if I do or I don't. I have a HD TV and a HD video. my point is only, do most people really care about HD v SD | | geek_aph4u1 | March 26, 2008, 11:58 pm | #19 | | Aussie chanels I have sat set top box up north and recieve two aussie channels, but in auckland I cant seem to find them. Any one know why? They are different brands. North is Satmax, Auck is Zinwell | | geek_wpmoore | March 27, 2008, 1:02 am | #20 | | #18 "18. because

I have a maxplus and dual cone lnb which does the job. | | geek_traceedwards | March 27, 2008, 6:56 am | #22 | | 18... If you are referring to Imparja and NITV then they have gone from D1 never to return. | | geek_traceedwards | March 27, 2008, 6:57 am | #23 | | #19 that should be | | geek_aph4u1 | March 27, 2008, 8:26 am | #24 | | Yes Thanks trace.I was. Do you know what the new test channel is for? | | geek_carbon_trader | March 27, 2008, 10:20 am | #25 | | Another question re freeview when watching tv on any of the uhf channels we the volume set to Level 19-21 for a good sound level. Yet when we change to watch freeveiw we have to turn the TV volume up to 36+ to get the same sound level.
The volume setting on the freeveiw decoder is on max.....
Any suggestions on how to correct this? | | Leave your comment: | |
