Hi Jim
I actually turn our TV off, not leave it on standby, it's
just force of habit.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Subject: [access-uk] Power out put was RE: Re: signal
very poor iwth new freeview
Hi Jackie et al,
One word of caution when leaving any tv or similar
equipment on standby, especially if you don't want high
electricity bills.
On some tv's there is very little difference in the
amount of power consumption used between a tv (or
similar) being switched on and being on standby.
I have one of these electricity consumption monitors and
my tv uses about 12 watts when switchedon and about 9
watts on standby.
So if you are having to watch the pennies...

Hi Carol
It looks as though the nice chaps who came to set me up
put the code in, because I can turn the volume up and
down. I don't put the TV on standby, but turn it off
when I've finished using it, so will see if putting it on
standby with the TVonics handset works, then I'll know
for sure that the code is right. All seems to be going
fine, touch wood, so I'm very pleased.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Jackie,
We've just bought a Tosh. Which one do you have and have
you found the code to link yours! There are heaps of
codes for the Tosh and the guy at our hifi shop today
gave me several more that I hadn't got from our book; so
the mind boggles ...

Hi Will and Sandra
Our signal is poor on Freeview. It isn't the built-in
Freeview on our Tosh TV or the TVonics, it's just the
signal strength. We also use a booster which the chaps
installed when they put up a digital roof aerial for us.
We get a message on the screen saying "low signal", and
we often get spitting, but it doesn't do it all the
time, and I've made a few recordings on the TVonics now
and they play. It's just that the programme can be
interrupted with this horrible spitting, juddering sound
that sounds like a bird in distress or something. It
can be quite loud and make you jump as it's louder than
the volume on the TV when it spits, but hopefully we'll
benefit when analogue is turned off, least that's the
plan!
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi William,
I know where you are coming from even though I haven't
had the same thing as
you but I think that in some areas the signal is not
strong enough. Have you thought about getting a signal
booster? they are not very expensive you can get one
for £7.00 which you should be able to buy from any
aerial shack or most likely off eBay. I might have to
get one for myself.
Also have you wrote to tvonics I have, they should
actually be able to advise you as well. Unfortunately
there is no contact number for tvonics but they do have
email.
I hope this helps.

hi all, my freeview receiver is mounted on the wall
outside the block of flats where i live and its signal
is terrible with this new RNIB freeview box, i keep
losing signal, anyone else had this?
i assume whether i use scart or HDMI shouldn't make a
difference? only noticed this recently when I check the
service status only getting 38 to 40 percent signal on
channels, strange as the west midlands area have
changed over fully to freeview.
with the portset freeview and the goodmans, had no
problemw with the freeview. my cables are all connected
firmly fromw what i can tell
