    Changes to BBC HD channels on satellite on 6th June

    Thanks daveh75 and Laserman16 I reset this morning and the DMR has x2 BBC HD's again. I took digi-photos of the TV and DMR settings before doing the reset which helped getting things back to previous settings. Cheers Richard

    Changes to BBC HD channels on satellite on 6th June

    Hello Would a shipping condition reset on the Panny DMR wipe out recordings? The TV came back to life after a shipping reset, so thanks for that tip.

    Freesat Users: FTA version of C4HD currently testing...

    Hi Daveh, I can find Ch4 HD on manual tune on my Panny 46PZ81, but I can't seem to save it. I used CH 130 that did not have a channel, then went to menu etc. When I scan it picks up C4HD and I can see a picture but when press return or exit it is not saved. I should look at the manual.. any...

    Satelite cable question - spilt WF65 or use two runs of single WF100

    I suspect this is one for daveh75 - thanks in advance! Last weekend I ran a second length of twin WF65 from my dish to enable me to have an additional feed to my recorder (one existing twin fed the TV and one recording channel) and decided that I would use the fourth feed to connect to my PC...

    F connectors

    I bought some F-connectors to add another run of Webro twin 63-008a cable to my dish however the internal diameter of the connector is too large and they won't screw on tight - my fault as I thought connectors were the same size. I read that you can make the cable diameter wider by putting tape...

    Whats the best satelite HD tuner with an easy to use EPG for a Pioneer KRP

    This solution may be obvious (it wasn't to me!) but worth a mention as I had a similar experience after buying a panasonic freesat recorder /blu ray with picture quality was far lower than the freesat tuner in the panasonic TV. I eventually solved it by matching TV picture settings for HDMI 1...

    Panasonic DMR-BS 850 /750 Blu-Ray - Image Quality vrs inbuilt Panasonic TV tuner

    Just to say I sorted the problem. I didn't realise I had to match the TV picture settings for HDMI 1 input to what I had for TV. I thought TV controlled everything - anyhow both inputs now identical.

    Panasonic DMR-BS 850 /750 Blu-Ray - Image Quality vrs inbuilt Panasonic TV tuner

    Hello, I've just bought one of these (ex-demo and cheap!) and connected it last night. Until I get another twin cable I still have 1 satellite feed to the TV and the other to the 850. I switch from TV to HDMI (850 feed) on BBC HD the HDMI picture has lower contrast and does not look as good as...

    I can see two tennis balls

    Hello, I was after some tips for my new 46PZ81 but for some reason the audio on this link does not work on my PC. Did you use these settings from new or do you have to run in for "x" hours on reduced settings?The manual does not mention anything, but several posts recommend running in is...

    Speakers and surround sound for 46PZ81B

    Thanks for the suggestions - I was a bit vaugue, but probably up to £200. I'll be watching a mix of DVDs and TV, but no blueray yet and no immediate rush to buy one. The effect from the last TV was OK, so maybe powered speakers are the best option re cost and requirements.
