DSPUK Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 SWMBO for some reason watched Michael Bubbly or something the other night and was mightily impressed - so impressed she bought a double CD from supermarket. - Well we just had tea and as usual I am on computer so she come in and says I will get Michael Doubly CD out of car and play it on DVD player -- Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. - So here I am and 10 min later she shuffles in "I can't get any sound" - So sit's in front of TV and say's have you got the remotes- All of them - Yes -- Right what is this one for - Freeview - do we need it -No - what is this for ?- Freesat - Do we need it--No -- This one -- TV do we need it -- No - right we have two left - one for DVD and one for Surround amp - - Is DVD running - Yes - so which remote do we need -- Amp --- she is quick - Right - watch carefully - There is a oddity with Onkio Amps - you have to tell it after a while it needs to talk to receiver not TV - So press Reciever then what are you playing CD on -- DVD - right now press DVD button -- Yippee - out of speakers comes Michelle Bobly -- I have that in car - Have what - that track -- Ha ha - two CD has same music on each CD - One recorded and other live. Am I the only one with a Techno nerd as a wife.- I bet I could look in every draw and find a bit of paper with Instructions on how to play anything on TV etc. and she still can't get it.

DSPUK Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 HDAV I did toy with one but we don't use it enough to justiify it anymore -- When refurbishing I only ran a twin sat cable and ordinary TV co-ax - forgot FM co-ax - better sound on Onkyo receiever FM than through freeview or freesat radio..

HDAV Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Save you can run fm down the same coax as UHF tv if you get an fm aerial use a duplexes at each end no fm aerial just split the UHF feed to avr and fv box or loop out of fv into avr literally 20 different ways to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
