Hey Guys,
We were lucky enough to have delivered on saturday, a Plasma screen TV :sm_headba for our viewing enjoyment, and as usual, I'm the one who had to set it up being the only one with any technological knowledge in the house. Knowing nothing about Digital TV, and the Digital set top boxes that come with the screens, I had a guess, connected the Set top box to AV input 1 and clicked "auto tune". Lo and behold I tuned the box to recieve all Digital Variants of 7, 9, 10, and ABC (They look great!). I tuned the TV itself to pick up all the normal analogue TV stations. What this means though now is that to watch Digital TV, I have to put the TV on AV1 so as to watch the signal from the set top box. I also have to change channel with the Set top box remote and not with the TV remote. That sorta ****es me off. ANYWAYS.... The point of this thread is to find some help with one problem i'm having with the Digital TV. As those of you with DTV recievers will know, the respective channels also have a "High Definition" Channel as well, for when movies and other selected TV shows are shown in true DVD quality and dolby surround. During the normal daytime broadcasting time, the High Definition channels either show Random pretty landscapes to the tune of cliched opera music and trendo bopper jazz, or just the station logo. While we're having no trouble whatsoever picking up 7 Digital, 9 Digital, 10 Digital, and ABC Digital, The High definition channels arent working properly. We can sort of get 7 HD and ABC HD however they flicker, and pause and cut out and go pixely like a scratched DVD. Channels 9 and 10 completely dont work at all. What could be the problem here?? I'm hoping someone can help. Do we need a new seperate areal configiured for HDTV? Its just confusing because the normal Digital TV works fine, just the High definition channels are up the Sh!tter, and I dont know why.... Anyone know more about this stuff and can give us a hand, or idea on why they're not working?? As im hanging out to see some landscapes coupled with Michael Buble ambience music. Thanking you in advance, Danny : |
