Incredibly stupid question.....

    I've just bought a new TV. and, stupidly didnt check the connectors on the back of it.

    I'm waiting for it to be delivered and flicked through the online manual (I'd already read the reviews etc). the connectors listed are:
    2x scart
    1x hdmi
    1x DVI
    1x YUV
    1x RCA AV

    all well and good. Unfortunately I am currently in rabbit ear land while I wait for a decision to be made on whether or not we can have satellite dishes outside our houses in the estate.

    Stupid question time:
    1. does this mean there is no RF input for rabbit ears?
    2. can you get an aerial to fit one of the other connectors (if so, which one would people recommend)
    3. Can I get an RF to scart adapter ? (I googled but couldnt find F to scart , only Scart to RF)
    4. Does anyone know of an internal alternative to external satellite dishes so I can at least get freeview for now ?

    any answers , stupid or otherwise would be muchly appreciated!

    There are 2 analogue TV tuners builtin. The advertised 2-tuner PIP is not working without tuners.

    I thought Grundig went titsup around 2000? Has someone bought the name and rebadged?

    Alba and Beko bought the brand Grundig. Production is mostly in Turkey.

    Thomson bought their Sat box section.

    They just haven't bothered to mention the RF in.

    There is no law against having a dish on your house as long as it's not on the front.

    Exactly. "Protective Covenants" and similar crap developers try to slap on have no enforceable power, and any developer-arranged person who removes satellite dishes - as has been shown to be done on here - is committing theft. You are legally entitled to have a satellite dish on your property under EU law.
