Grundig digital TV won't pick up digital stations. Have new antenna and cable. Why won't it work?

This is the process we go through:Easy dialogue-installation-station search-search for new DVB-Search resultsBut it keeps saying that no digital channels can be found. We have had antenna replaced but has made no differnce. The TV is a Grundig Cinaro Model MFW82531018SDTV Asked by angelboys 28 months ago Similar questions: Grundig digital TV pick stations antenna cable work Consumer Electronics.

I'll let you know if I hear anything following it up with grundig tech support. I fired off an email to bush last night pointing them to this thread so hopefully once they are fully aware of the problem they can release a simple firmware fix that will correct all of their units. I really hope they can come up with a solution as I'm quite happy with the unit, the channel changes are nice and quick and I like the physical appearance of the unit.My only other complaint is the fact it doesn't show any epg details when you change channels (like what the current show is and how long it runs for) like most other boxes seem to do at default out of interest does the grunding show this info?

That however is a minor problem compared to the audio which is getting frustrating flicking between 7HD and SBS during the olympics. I'll let you know if I hear anything I received a reply today from bush with an updated firmware attached. I have just performed the update and after only a few minutes testing I can confirm the sound is autoswitching and overall appears to be working well!

I have sent them a reply email thanking them for having this issue rectified. They also sent me a grundig version of the firmware in the email so give me a yell nickows if you would like to get a hold of it. I have just bought one of these things, the Grundig GSTB3013HD after an aborted attempt at an Arista HD STB, in the misguided belief that Grundig STB to Grundig Tv would work a treat.

I have a Grundig TV, one of the European ones actually made in Europe. It has 3 SCART plug hole things and and a couple of Audio plug holes (white and red) and that's it. The Arista HD had the RGB component cable, with the red, blue and green plugs, which I bought a SCART adaptor for, but nothing happened.

No menus, sound, picture, nuthin'. Silly me, thought I would buy the Grundig HD STB so that it could just go SCART to SCART and be hunky dory. Now I look at the online manual for the GSTB3013HD and it has the RGB plugs again PLUS it says, "for high definition viewing your TV must support either 576p, 720p, 1080i resolution.

Also the connection between the STB receiver and TV must be YPbPr component, VGA, or HDMI. Other connection will provide standard definition viewing."Someone please tell me my TV will work with this Grundig HD STB! It is an older analogue widescreen Grundig TV (bought in 2003 so not ancient).

Not sure of the model, as the paperwork is at home. I already have a Grundig SD STB which works fine but I want to upgrade to I will spew if I have to throw away a perfectly good TV to get HD. Sources: http://www.dtvforum.info/lofiversion/index.php/t69222.html .

Nickows Purchased this box a few days back. Have it connected via optical to my Yamaha A/V Receiver. Picture is great, but this particular model doesn't seem to be able to switch automatically between audio formats when you change channel.

If I set the audio output setting in the menu to MPEG or PCM, I will get sound from both HD and SD channels, but if I change the output setting to Dolby Digital (Grundig refers to it as AC-3 CD in their audio output menu) I only get sound on the HD channels. My previous HD box changed audio formats automatically when I went from a HD to SD channel or vice versa - its a bit annoying that the audio output settings now have to be changed every time I want to watch a HD channel in Dolby Digital. There is no 'auto' option in the audio output settingsI rang tech support to see if there was a firmware update available to fix this and there are none.

I did a search about this issue before posting but couldnt find anything. I assume the DGTEC HD box that is the exact same as this HD box has the same limitation? Has anyone found a way around this problem?

If not, just a heads-up to anyone purchasing this HD box (and will be running through an A/V receiver) Sources: http://www.dtvforum.info/lofiversion/index.php/t69222.html .

There can be various reasons for it. Digital radio was launched with much hooplah this week -- or to be precise, launched in Sydney. Turns out the other major capital cities have had it for a few months now -- who'd have known?

Now that Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth have DAB+ digital radio blitzing its way through the airwaves, retailers finally have the green light to start selling digital radios full-steam ahead, rather than just having the odd display model that nobody in the shop quite knows how to use and can't be tuned in to anything. But first… what is DAB+ digital radio? Digital radio is to radio what digital TV is to TV -- at the most basic level, it's the same thing at much higher quality.

You can forget the hiss, buzz and crosstalk of analogue radio, as well as the muffled sound of AM radio stations. With digital radio, you get somewhere between optimal FM and CD quality sound. We hesitate at calling it "CD quality" because if you listen to it with headphones, it sounds more like an 128Kbit/s MP3 -- on some songs you do hear the audio compression artefacts.

But it's much better than listening to analogue FM, and it's a vast improvement on muffled old AM radio. Naturally, because it's digital, a range of different sound problems can occur -- just like suboptimal digital TV reception, you can get unpleasant squealy audio glitches or sound dropping in and out like a GSM mobile phone with bad reception. However, many digital radios come with a big extendable antenna (about twice as long as an average FM radio) that gives them better reception.

Digital radio is about more than just nicer quality sound though -- it has some other major benefits, the most important of which is that there's no longer the need to remember frequencies of your favourite stations. The DAB+ radio system hides frequencies from you -- DAB+ radios auto-tune a list of stations and you simply scroll down a list of stations ordered alphabetically and select the one you want. (Let's hope this doesn't have the unfortunate effect of encouraging unscrupulous radio broadcasters to start moving towards station names like AAA Aardvark.)You can also receive a lot more channels than on a regular radio.

Each broadcaster gets a 128Kbit slice of spectrum allocated to them, however, most are slicing that up into smaller chunks in order to broadcast multiple stations. For example, the Triple M network got 128Kbit/s, but is actually broadcasting two stations using 48Kbit/s each, and using the remaining 32Kbit/s data transmission to go along with the channels. The 48Kbit/s sound quality really is quite incredible -- especially if you think how crap music on your PC would sound if it was encoded at 48Kbit/s, rather than 192 or 256Kbit/s.

While DAB radio marketing executives are at pains to point out that they don't claim it's CD quality, it's very satisfying to listen to. Although you can occasionally hear the sound compression, the lack of analogue hiss, interference and so on tricks the mind into thinking it's listening to a CD or iPod. The remaining 32Kbit/s of bandwidth is used for data transmission, and when you're listening to the audio, your digital radio displays album cover art, song name, weather/traffic information for your area, web addresses for the music you're listening to, program name, and so on.

Of course, not all digital radios will have a colour screen capable of displaying cover art. Sources: http://apcmag.com/digital-radio-launches-in-australia.htm .

Will the Winegard Flatwave antenna work with analog tv.

I don't get broadcast stations (ABC, NBC, etc. ). Is there anything I can buy to fix this (other than cable tv)?

How do I find out what hdtv stations I could get in Lubbock, Texas with just a HDTV antenna (i.e. , no cable service)?

Where can I buy a digital cable box that will pick up all channels.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
