RE: Dippy freeview questions - Now taboo channels...

[<mailinglists@xxxxxxx>]

Hmmm, all the TV's at home have been fine for the last year or so, except
for C5 which was a very fuzzy.
Last week, after printing the Taboo html page months ago, I got round to
retuning practically every thing...

...unfortunately (and I've checked it's all correct) pretty much every RF
channel is slightly to mostly very fuzzy now.

Not good. Not sure what the problem is, maybe just too much RF on the
cable?

Any ideas Keith?

I guess this could be interference between the units.  See Keith's Taboo
Channels page ( http://www.kat5.tv/taboo.html )
for further details.

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).

The Pioneer does exactly the same thing.

At least the Nokia has a digital audio output...

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.
