I've had a scout around for anything which might be able to transfer Terrestrial TV via scart (I almost certainly know it's not possible) and have had no luck - My TV fell on my head a while ago and in the process broke off the female RF connection :P.

I've put up with Digital TV since with a TERRIBLE signal quality and lacking main channels.

I'm really missing ITV and Channel four, so is there any cheaper way than fixing the TV to get terrestrial TV back?

Many thanks,

James

You can use a VCR to do this, but you'll have to forego the facility of being able to record one thing while watching another.

Just plug the aerial lead into it, tune it in to the channels, connect it to your TV via SCART - all of this you'd do normally anyway - and voila! Change channels via the VCR rather than the TV.

If this is too inconvenient then you'll just have to fix the TV, or replace it. Remember that analogue TV broadcasts will be disappearing very very soon...

Actually, I was curious about this and tried to think about it logically. What you need is effectively an external TV tuner. So I typed that into Google and came up with this:

Doesn't give much detail, but it certainly looks like it accepts RF in and has composite video and audio out. Perhaps you can do some more searching along those lines. However, it still wouldn't give you your old TV functionality back - you'd have to change channels on this box rather than the TV.

did it hurt?

wow thanks alot for the quick reply, helps alot. I reckon I'll go for the VCR option although I don't have alot of room in my room, otherwise I'll get a quote for getting it fixed and if it's too much I'll invest in an external tuner.

Thank you so much!

and Philgo, yes it did hurt very much, I had a bad back anyway
