RE: Dippy freeview questions
I had:
Aerial --> TiVo --> Amp (normal, not digital) --> TVs in house.
Worked fine.
Purchased a BT digital box (Netgem) (great box, stream MP3s etc to it).
Aerial --> NetGem --> TiVo --> Amp (normal, not digital) -->
TVs in house.
and now get crappy analogue signals to each of the TVs.
Signals from the TIVO are received fine.
Have bought a better aerial & will see what the results are like with
that
(but with the snow & winds did not fancy scaling a ladder over the last
few
days).

Hmmm ... the Nokia *SHOULDN'T* suck signal when it's powered (either on or
in standby) - when off then you should find you lose the pass through
signal.

Nope ... no whizzy epg. In fact - no epg whizzy or not.
