42lg3000 freeview

Hi i bought a 42lg3000 this morning.it says on the box it comes with freeview.i done an automatic scan and only the normal ntl basic stations came in.im living in south dublin.does anybody know if i should be recieving theses freeview channels here.thanks

 

freeview is basic nthell channels

 

Freeview at the box means UK freeview (dvb-t) and you cannot get UK freeview in Dublin over the air.

 

freeview isnt basic nthell.basic nthell isnt free at all

 

if its not free then how did you scan them in

 

because i pay for basic nthell connection

 

im in the uk and all the freeview channels r in the basic nthell package altho mite b different in ireland

 

If your paying for basic analogue you could just plug it straight into your tv and you'll get those channels anyway. If your paying for basic digital package your box is just acting as a standard yewPC digital box. Unless you update the firmware which I'm not aware if there is one for that make. It will also just be temporary if you do manage to patch it as I'm sure your aware of the change-over which is being mentioned all over the forums.

 

the 42LG3000 is a TV with a freeview tuner designed for the uk using an mpeg2 decoder, what you have is the basic ntl channels analogue , you will not receive the Irish freeview DTT when launch as this uses mpeg4. you will need either a decoder box or an mpeg 4 cam for this.

 

Apologies, I thought it was a stb not a TV.

 

cheers suse thats what i wanted to know thanks
