Getting a Digital TV digibox to work

Plugging the cables into the right sockets

Hello!

My stupid girlie non technical brain has let me down again - can anyone help?! I've recently bought a digibox from Saturn - the kind you can get the free digital channels on back in England. I've hooked it all up & everytime I try to set it up it keeps saying 'Antenna Power too high' & that's as far as I can get!

Can everyone pick up the free digital channels in Munich? Do you have to have a German TV to do so? I'd take the box back, however I seem to have misplaced the receipt (it's been one of those weeks). If anyone could offer any help I would be grateful.

Cheers biggrin.gif

Is it plugged into an actual antenna or the cable system?

That's a good question! I would never have thought about something like that - D'oh! Will have to check.

Cheers

A make and model would be good..

As the Thingy (or often referred to as the "Thrimblybob") is a part that rarely fails, I wouldnt expect this to be the problem..

I am sure Grinner may know more about your set-up though!...

Are you sure you have the right box?

I made that mistake when I moved in. Asked our neighbour what the setup for the apartment block was and he said it was cable. So bougth a digital box for cable, didn't work. Turned out the neighbour was wrong and that we were receiving over the air signal and needed a dvb-t box.

Bearing in mind that "free english digital channels" also generally need a satellite dish, did you buy one of these too?

Right... Checked it out & we've actually got Cable in the apartment. Didn't realise that!

Yorkshire lad - please may I draw your attention to the following website (detailing free digital channels through your aerial in the UK). Think you should move Sheffield back into Yorkshire don't you?!

I think the key part of your statement may just be " in the UK " rolleyes.gif

Thank you for drawing my attention to that website. Did you try entering your postcode into the coverage checker?
