Broadening your post interest and comments nowadays eh LG ?
Freesat needs a dish , this is freeview so aerial only required and probably a decent signal / digital aerial
no deal
technical numpty here
i live in an area with no aerial signal so have got a basic freeview type setup with a sat dish.
can someone tell me if i can connect this so i can get the `dave` channel that is free on freeview
but not with a dish please
I'd get a decent local aerial engineer in. Best thing I ever did after messing around with countless aerials in the attic. Guy came out knew exactly what local signal conditions were like and what I needed to get a decent digital signal. Never looked back.
Or Michaela Tabb the lady who was refereeing the snooker final. Floats my boat.
no deal
streaming hd over wifi is iffy...prepare for buffering and stutter.. I tried loads of wifi solutions before eventually having to go with homeplugs.
If it is the usual capacitor problem with the Toppy, if you pop over to toppy.org.uk there are a couple of guys on there who will either sell you a set of new capacitors for you to install, or provide a repair service at a very reasonable price. No connection other than a Toppy user who had a failing Toppy, and now has a good as new Toppy due to their service.

Be sure to update the Firmware using this link: http://www.i-can.tv/en/component/content/article/15/252-how-can-i-upgrade-my-easy-hd-receiver
Will provide faster iPlayer access and TopUp TV functionality.
If you need iPlayer then the Freeview HD Humax T2 at £99 might be worth a punt (records to USB drives), or for cheaper, try the Technisat HDFV, no iPlayer, but Freeview HD and ability to USB record, but just one channel at a time....but its only £30 in Asda, or £35 from Currys.
At my old house the TV worked perfect there. I traced the fault to a dumb splitter which I then replaced with an attic booster to then supply 4 rooms.
