HDMI is a digital signal. A 1 is a 1 and a 0 is a 0 regardless of which cable it goes down. With a digital signal, its either there or it isn't so a gold plated oxygen free cable will not produce a better picture than a cheapo HDMI cable.

If you get a picture with a cheapo HDMI cable, the quality of the picture will be exactly the same as the expensive HDMI cable from Currys. Incidentally television cables and leads are a rip off from Currys (Or any other DGS retail outlets), They are just put in pretty packaging, but are no better than the ones you can get for half the price off eBay.

I used to get this from people when i installed a new aerial, the daft old bint would always say, the picture off the old aerial was better, when that was physically impossible if your watching a DVB-T signal.

Carmine ive never seen a difference ever and I did installs for a good while , its like when you paid a fortune for oxygen free scart leads for crt tvs i never saw anything there it might be possible that it makes an odds with super hd but we havent got there yet , i think itll be the feel good factor knowing you paid a fortune for a lead and convincing yourself its better , nano might be able to elaborate more as he is more in the know with installs these days

Hi stevejo,
i`ve been reading about on g**gle and found a site or two that say exactly what you say no difference at all only worth spending a bit more if you need over 1 or 2 metres...

I have new tv and want to know your guys experiences when you have bought new tv and connected to you stb etc, I know the scart lead will soon be a thing of the past and have had hdmi lead for connection from older tv to stb, older tv was plasma and new tv is LED I used and am still using a cheap hdmi i think i even found one a certain pound shop lol.

I`m asking this is there any difference in cheap hdmi lead compared to these that they offer you when your buying a tv at C**ys etc ie the silver or gold HDMI leads would it really make that much difference using cheap HDMI conpared to more expensive ones available and if so can you guys let me know what you use or recommend ??

Thanks
carmine

Hi you could use MMC black picons. If you have paint shop pro you can simply resize all of them from 100x60 to 220x132 or you could use ms paint.
Drag and drop the picon into either one of these
Then resize aspect ratio to 220x132 pixels
Save as png
Have fun

went to resize with paint shop pro and just got very pixelated ??

After 40 years, yes a new aerial and cable is advisable. You may not need a booster, too much signal can cause problems.
How many TV's are you running off 1 aerial?
Bear in mind, Since switchover DTT signal strengths have been drastically increased, you can quite easily run 4 tv' off 1 aerial and a good 4 way splitter.

Sent by pressing buttons.

I need to feed 3 more tvs

thanks for that still gonna get new aerial and booster set up aerial is over 40 years old long over due ?

Have you looked at channels 100 upwards? That's where freeviewHD start.
FYI there is no such thing as a Digital Aerial.

Thankyou I found them theres only BBC1 HD BBC2 HD BBC3 HD ITV 1 HD and Channel 4 HD no cbeebies HD or BBC NEWS HD ??

FFS mate put S.K.Y in that link lowercase with no (.)

You might be best to continue pressing buttons as you are talking nonsense...I/O links work fine and i am afraid you have wandered a bit there...who here is talking about powering amplifiers???

Happy new year lol.

Is the tuner itself a HD tuner? A silly question I know but I have just been researching for you and there's reports of some people purchasing a HD TV but oddly enough the freeview tuner itself isn't HD.

Odd I know but worth investigating to rule it out

I have checked and double checked and is in specifications it says built freeview hd tuner

Quote from Mee®kat

Yes i would agree that a new aerial is in order thats for sure..it will be a wideband aerial you are after which most are now.

Is your cabling also 40 years old or has that been replaced at some point..have a look at your signal strength and see what that says.

Hiya,

i have checked signal strength of what i can get ie sd channels and between 8-10 out of ten not enough though i guess for hd channels on freeview ??

Quote from brendanj9554

what model TV have you got buddy? have you searched through the menu's? maybe there's a setting that needs adjusting?

Hi brenden i know its a bit late but happy new year buddy,

i am trying aerial re tune as well as clicking digital other option is secam L as i read on g**gle clicking that may fix prob but still no freeview hd channels lol

Evening all, I have a new tv with Freeview HD tuner ( yes i know at last lol ) anyway have it all set up with my vu duo + stb and i know i can get channels ie BBC 1 HD 2HD 3HD 4HD and ITV 1 HD, etc through my stb but as tv has built in freeview hd tuner i did full tune up on tv and all i get is normal sd channels no freeview hd channels ???

I know my aerial is about 40 years old i know im not even kidding this must the reason why im not getting channels dont you think ??
Thinking i may go to my local screwf*x store and get a new digital aerial do we all agree lol ??

Thanks
