Austrial

Hi

 

Thanks for this useful info. I habe struggled with knowing frequencies and bands on my Bravia tv. Do you have the table with frequencies that you mentioned in your post. In the meantime I am using a freeview box but it has about 10 or so channels only and if I can get 35 like you I'll be sorted

Hi Gidza

I am not able to find the link to the table. However, if you have Sony Bravia - click on the home button on your remote - then use your left cursor to find the settings icon (it will look like a folder) - select that and then scroll down till you find digital auto tune (if your tv is digital) - select tune for first time - select germany or spain or denmark as the country - it will take some time auto-tuning (approx 5 minutes) - you should get circa 35 stations (of course some will repeat in different stations) - you will get some radio channels too -

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I didn't think of that!! I will ask someone.

Thanks amibovered, the building manager says the line is active, I will try and contact the owner to find out.

I have a DG834GT Super-G Wireless Modem Router with me in Australia which I brought over from the UK. It is not working in Oz:mad:

This is what I have tried - I have used split filter (even though there is no phone), I bought a new 4 pin RJ12 to RJ12 cable (to connect the wall socket to the ADSL port in the modem). The i led light just does not come on, only the wireless and power lights come on. After I connect the ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports to the laptop the light for the number of the LAN port comes on.

I tried plugging the RJ12 cable directly from the wall socket to the laptop (without using the modem) and even that did not work.

The building manager has connected ethernet cables on the server board unit on the wall to "activate" the socket ....(he has used a desk top ethernet switching unit and has connected the socket for incoming cable to ethernet port 1, cable from socket for bedroom to port 3 etc)

I would be grateful for any advice...in simple language as I am not very technical.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys

 

I brought in my Samsung led tv but have not been able to get it to work. When I connect the antenna it does tune into any stations. Havr not yet decided which digital pay TV to go with so was hoping to be able to watch free-to-air channels by simply plugging in the antenna.

 

Any ideas?

Hi, I brought three TVs - Sony Bravia, Sharp and Toshiba - all digital tvs. Initially, I did not get any reception. I resolved the problem by going into settings - finding "first tuning" - in Sony Bravia I chose Denmark (as the transmission is identical to Australia - as is Italy, Netherland and Austria). In the other two TVs Australia was present as a choice.

As I do not have any top box or fox tel, I selected antenna (not cable) and then selected auto-tune. And...after some trepidation...I got about 35 free to air channels...good quality picture and sound too!

I was only able to do this because some kind soul in Poms in Oz had kindly put up a link to a table setting out all countries and the format in which they transmit TV programmes. So I was able to pick up the country which transmitted in the format identical to Australia.

As you can see by my language I am not at all technical...my nine year old probably is more technical than I am!!
