Topic: Lost freeview only getting Optus test signal, trouble finding correct dish position with sat finder: iew channels. A few days later all is lost again and the best I can get is the Optus test signal or a wrong satellite to the west with all the christian and arabic stations on it. When I use the sat finder I somehow can't get a definite peak in signal strength for the D1 direction like I had before when I installed it all. The only thing that changed between the initial successful set-up and the loss was that the power to the house was off for some time - but the K1 box should have memorized all channels. Could the LNB be on the way out? The sat finder indicates 13V, shouldn't it be 18V for the horizontal polarisation? Any ideas? Thanks so much.…; Added by Arne Hinz at 22:15 on July 16, 2017

Comment on: Topic 'No Signal': uld be to do with the aerial, perhaps placement or alignment (usually when that's the coverage result, you'll be in a marginal coverage area for digital terrestrial transmission, so your reception would be susceptible to changes in environmental factors - e.g. weather). It's important to elevate your aerial (the higher it is, the few obstacles for digital TV data in its signal path = more reliable reception) and it's especially important too to check the aerial for any signs of corrosion & misalignment (the more accurately the aerial points to your nearest transmission tower, the more likely you'll be able to get reliable reception for ALL the channels - otherwise, you might lose an entire group of channels from time to time). You might also need a booster / amplifier & check these tips on ensuring ample margin when you tune in the channels. Also here, perhaps a higher-gain aerial might be more suited for where you are! Lastly, make sure you don't have anything blocking the signal in front of your aerial (e.g. trees, buildings) - you want as few things in between your aerial & the source of the signal (the transmission tower) as possible. If these reception issues persist, you might want to consider the satellite alternative for a more consistent viewing experience. Note that the channels differ between the UHF & satellite services so check the channels listed to make a balanced decision. Oh & there're quite a few transmission sites around Wellington - not sure where you're pointing your aerial at the moment but here are some coverage maps from Kordia to help you check your aerial alignment: Kaukau Haywards Fitzherbert Baxter's Knob Ideally you want to be in the green zone! …; Added by Bel @ Freeview at 17:26 on September 27, 2013

The most popular (usually simply referred to as DVDs) are discs containing pre-recorded films, concerts or music videos. Other formats include DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW and DVD-RAMs, which can be used at home to record TV programmes or computer files. EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) - The on-screen TV guide provides a listing of TV channels and programmes, and is available for terrestrial, satellite and cable TV.

The better PVRs incorporate twin tuners that allow you to record one programme while watching another. HDMI - A digital audio and video connection that is capable of transmitting both standard- and high-definition TV signals. Typically used for connecting a 'Freeview HD' or a Blu-ray player to an 'HD Ready' TV. Some standard DVD and set-top boxes players can also be connected via the HDMI leads but this does not result in an HD picture. HDMI CEC - Allows your TV remote control to also operate the connected devices via the HDMI cable. HD ready TV - A TV that has a screen resolution (of at least 720 horizontal lines) that's good enough to display high-definition TV programmes and high-definition discs (HD-DVD and Blu-ray). Also available is HD Ready 1080p of 'Full HD' TV, which is a TV that has a screen resolution (of at least 1080 horizontal lines) that's excellent for high-definition TV viewing. But for HD TV programmes you will still need a set-top box or digital TV recorder with a built in HD tuner to receive them. HD tuner - Allows you to receive high-definition TV programmes. Set-top boxes and digital TV recorders with built-in HD tuners are available for subscription and non-subscription services via an aerial, satellite and cable. You'll also need a TV capable of displaying HD pictures (an 'HD Ready TV'). More modern TVs have built-in HD tuners (see HD TV, below). HD TV or HDTV (High-definition TV) - Depending on how it is used, this can mean: 1.a broadcasting standard that gives you a crisper picture and the opportunity of better quality sound than standard-definition TV; 2.a TV set that receives and displays high-definition TV channels using its own built-in HD tuner. Interactive TV - The user can choose extra services or respond to events. For instance, you can select and watch a particular sporting event from a multi- IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) - A TV service delivered over the internet by phone line or cable. As it is via the internet, it means you can 'tune in' to selected TV or radio stations or programmes from anywhere in the world, but quality may not be as good as dedicated cable or phone line services such as Video on Demand (VOD). LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) - LCD TVs are the most common type of flat-panel television. All screen sizes above 26" are suitable for displaying HDTV. Conventional LCD TVs use a form of fluorescent tube lamp backlight to illuminate the picture on the screen. Models that instead use semiconductor LED lamps for the screen's backlight illumination are called 'LCD TVs with LED backlights'. These generally provide better image quality, lower energy consumption and thinner televisions than conventional LCD. Though sometimes advertised as 'LED TVs', they're different from a true LED TV - which use a different technology. See also LED (below) and Plasma. LED (Light Emitting Diodes) - An LED TV is one where the screen consists of an array of many LED semiconductor lamps. These types of screen are not generally available on the consumer market. They're typically used for very large screens found in public places and produce a bright image that can be seen at a distance. For the domestic TV models marketed as LED TVs, see LCD (above). Modulator - An electronic gadget built into some set-top boxes and digital TV recorders that allows them to be connected to a TV using an aerial lead instead of the preferred SCART lead. It's useful for very old TVs with no SCART socket, but it means slightly lower picture quality and mono sound. You can also buy external modulators from specialist electronics shops that can be used with any set-top box. Mux (Multiplex) - A digital TV multiplex is created by bundling together a group of digital TV stations so that together they fit into one broadcast channel, rather than each requiring its own separate channel for transmission.

You use the supplied software to tune in and watch TV. Plasma - A plasma TV is a particular type of flat-panel TV. They are popular for larger screen TVs (such as 42" or greater). Broadly speaking, plasma televisions give good picture quality, comparable to LCD TV, the main alternative. All recent plasma TVs are suitable for displaying HDTV. Platform - A general term for the way of delivering or receiving digital television. Typical platforms are terrestrial, cable, satellite and TV delivered over a telephone line. PVR (Personal Video Recorder) - See Hard drive digital TV recorder. Red button - One of the four colour-coded buttons on your remote control for selecting interactive television services. For interactive features, broadcasters often prompt you on screen when to press the red button.

During the tuning-in process, it offers you the choice of transmitters so you can select the strongest signal, the most channels or select your preferred TV region. SCART cable - A common way of connecting one TV product to another that combines the picture and stereo sound in one plug. Very old TVs may not have a SCART socket, so for these you'll need a set-top box that incorporates a modulator so that you can connect the set-top box using an aerial lead. STB (Set-top box) - The equipment that receives digital television and converts it so it can be received on an older TV or VCR. Occasionally abbreviated as 'STB'. Switchover - The name used when broadcasters switched from analogue signal to digital by switching off the analogue transmitters. Terrestrial TV - TV transmissions that are broadcast over the air directly to your TV aerial. Transponder (TP) - A digital TV transponder is created by bundling together a group of digital TV stations so that together they fit into one broadcast channel, rather than each requiring its own separate channel for transmission. this term is often related to the Freeview Satellite platform. VOD (Video on Demand) - Films and TV programmes you want to watch are delivered when you want to watch them, delivered via broadband. You can usually choose from a large library of films or programmes. Services include TVNZ Ondemand, 3Now, Lightbox and Quickflix. Widescreen - The ratio of the width to the height of a widescreen TV picture is 16 to 9, often called 16:9 format. Nearly all TV channels make and broadcast their programmes in widescreen format. Older programmes were in the narrower 4:3 format. If set up correctly, a widescreen TV and set-top box should display the picture on your screen in 16:9 or 4:3 as appropriate for the programme. Y splitter - This is a simple gadget designed to split your rooftop TV aerial's signal into two. You plug your aerial cable in one end and then run two extension leads from the output sockets. Because it splits the signal without amplifying it, you'll end up with two weaker signals. But this shouldn't be a problem if you have a strong signal to start with. These splitters won't work for weaker signals, or if you want to split your signal more than two ways. For that, you'd need an aerial distribution amplifier. LNB (Low Noise Block) - It is the device on the front of a satellite dish that receives the very low level microwave signal from the satellite, amplifies it, changes the signals to a lower frequency band and sends them down the cable to the indoor receiver. …; Added by forumuser at 23:55 on May 27, 2016
