    The polarity depends on your local transmitter.
    Check the aerials in the neighbourhood.

    Hi guys, got the box t and set it up ok (got 93 channels). However have tried connecting my DVD recorder to it via a scart lead through the video out but when i switch from TV to dvd the signal is fussy and i get no sound?? Am i doing something wrong or do i need something to boost the signal?

    You need 3 scart leads to connect SV to DVD recorder

    1. SV to TV
    2. DVD to TV
    3. SV to DVD

    I also use a coax cable to connect the SV to DVD and it works perfect

    Heres a question for you axx there are rumours that Ch**us MMDS may migrate to DVB-C similar to the N** MMDS variant, no time scale as yet but have been told that it may happen after they finish their digital upgrade and turn off the remaining analogue areas, (which there are only a few of).

    So that leaves all people with a T type box having to change to a C type, a lot of money down the drain.

    Hi
    Have the boxT and the channels have disappeard since Today Jan 13th.
    I see there is Firmare going around but was wondering has this been tried recently? I know a lot of systems have stopped working so is it a case the boxT is now one of them,.

    I have RTE 1 and Sky news and a couple of music channles but thats it..

    in Limerick..

    Any ideas?
