Title: Freeview boxes Post by: Batch on Friday, January 25, 2008, 15:03:20 If you have an old areal there is a smallish chance it will need replacing.
TV with scart is OK. Alternative is if you have a VCR/DVD recorder that has a scart input you can run it into that and from there to the TV via RF.

Really? I don't ever hearing about people needing new ariels. Beat me to it FB... I've still got an old ariel that I paid a fiver for in my loft and a signal booster and I pick up freeview no bother. Title: Freeview boxes Post by: axs on Friday, January 25, 2008, 21:08:11 I've got an old aerial and no booster and freeview works fine.
Title: Freeview boxes Post by: pauld on Saturday, January 26, 2008, 01:16:11 Depends on signal strength - we had to replace our aerial to get Freeview, old one wasn't up to it, and boosters didn't work. On the upside we can now intercept Russian embassy communications to Putin and alien transmissions from space
