why cant i get my panasonic hdd dvd player 2 tune into the digital signal coming out of my cable box?
|

 hi andrew, can you explain the problem a bit more fully? what other equipment have you got hooked up?
|
|
I bought this panasonic dvd player nick because it had a hard drive and freeview built in.Now i wasnt too bothered about the freeview cos i dont have an anologue ariel.I have it hooked up to my virgin digibox and my hitachi widescreen.When iv gone onto setup to try and tune the dvd player into (what i thought you could do, individual stations on my virginbox)its saying no digital stations found.

Andrew, Sorry I cannot help , but I am in the same position, if you get an answer please let me know, very frustrating in this day & age, but I have been told you need to tune in via normal anologue ariel which I no longer have. GOOD LUCK
Cheers
Rod

i have bought a panasonic DMR-EX75, how can i connect to my digi box & TV so i can watch a freeview channel and record another freeview channel? it's an old TV set with 1 scart socket. My freeview box has two scart sockets.

I am also having the same problem of trying to record a digital channel. I have a Hitachi C28WD2TN wide screen TV, a Grundig GDT 1500T Digital box and have just bought a Toshiba D-VR35SB DVD recorder & VCR. I can record the terrestial channels but not the Digital Channels can anyone help?

Hi all, i have a samsung 32" with integrated digital and sky, basically, sky (or any set top box) will only transmit one signal to your dvd recorder, which is the channel it is set at via a scart, your dvd then sends the signal to your tv, but when it comes to recording a from the tv you have two options, select the analogue station on your dvd or set the channel on the tv, the problem with the latter is you cant watch anything else. with integrated digital in my tv i can set sky to whatever channel and set my dvd to record it from a scart connection, and watch a freeview channel on my tv, but the dvd wont record a freeview broadcast becuase the tv can only send the signal it is receiving at that time. the only way around it is get a dvd recorder with built in freeview so you can bypass the tv all together, this would improve picture quality on playback also

Hi all,
If I were to purchase this model (or even the Panasonic DMR EX87) are you saying that I can't record from a sky top box? I have no digital or analogue ariels linked up.

Hello. I have just bought a sony 40" LCD HD ready TV, all works fine except with my surround sound DVD player which is a sony HCD S550 S video system, it functions OK but the picture is in black & white, the DVD has no scart plug on but a round plug with a horseshoe configuration of pins & I have a sony lead which connects from this to the scart on the TV, the DVD is about 4 years old & worked perfectly well on my last sony TV ( which wasn't digital) Can anybody help please Trevor M

 Steve --yes you can but use rgb scart from sky to player input then scart from player to tv. Trevor --look at set up manual look for s video set up it should tell you to plug s vid dvd - to -tv - s video - by connecting it to another connection to change to scart it may not be connecting all the s video output pins. use a single svideo cable to svideo on tv. carl.

I am just looking at buying a HD TV and was looking at this site and forums for assistance about wiring the whole system up. I really do need to do some real research before I buy. Thanks to all who post - its very enlightening. Trevor
