Receiving DTT

vectra

If I fit one of these.

Turbosat MPEG4 to MPEG2 Viaccess Cam

Allows your current MPEG2 digital receiver or IDTV to accept Irish DTT MPEG-4 broadcasts. The CAM* goes in the Common Interface slot in your TV or receiver. Note you do not need a subscription card with the CAM to receive the public service channels (RTE/TV3/TG4). Your TV or digital receiver needs to be DVB-T compliant (digital terrestrial).

Most LCD and Plasma TVs sold in Ireland over the last few years will have a DVB-T digital terrestrial TV tuner built in. Unfortunately these TVs mostly only decode MPEG2 broadcasts as they have been built to the UK Freeview specification. This CAM will allow you to convert the Irish DTT MPEG4 encoded broadcasts to MPEG2 for your TV to display. Your TV will need a CI slot in the side of the TV. Please check your TV manual before ordering for details on the CI slot.

IF that site is broadcasting DTT and IF your TV is compatable with the card (as discussed on another thread on this forum), then yes it will. I have the same card in a compatable Sony TV picking up signal from 3 rock

(I got mine for about €55 incl delivery from a german site that wanted payment up front by account transfer - bit risky..)

You may not need a CAM, your Samsung may already have the correct MPEG-4 decoder built in. Check out this thread TV's with MPEG4 DTT decoder to see if your Samsung model is listed or alternatively check the specs in your manual.

I assume your "bbc ariel" is pointed towards a local deflector in Co. Cork, to receive the Mullaghanish DTT engineering test transmissions the aerial has to be pointed at Mullaghanish (Group A or Wideband aerial).

How do you currently receive the four Irish channels?

The CAM slot on the TV may be used for a future pay DTT service.

Well
There is a cam slot at the back
Also
I did try to tune it in yesterday and got sound but no pic. also got a weird message like ( no hd available ) or something to that effect.
It is model number
LE32A556P 1080P

Anyhow
I will be pointing towards the Mullaghanish with my bbc ariel
I think it is a colorKing.
It is the Flat one on top here.
I tried to take a pic of my own but they werent showing so good


So got a pic of a neighbours ones.
It is the top square one i will be using.



What do you reckon?

Also
do I run a straight cable from the ariel to TV or do I leave the booster and power supply hooked up as well?

Thanks

Nah you will need the cam its an MPEG2 TV you have .

Turbosat cards.... I'm sure they are rebranded Neotions, but try the Neotions first.

It works on LE 40A656A and LE 46A566P1XZF. It sounds like a similar model (except for that "p" which could be significant).

Anyway you will never know until you try.
