RF Problem with PACE STB

Hi,
Have just plugged in my new Panny DVD Recorder & spent ages trying to tune & can only get lousy analogue picture. Have tried plugging Coax straight from STB (Pace 4001) to TV but still rubbish.

After much swearing I've ended up taking external ariel feed into DVD & thence to TV which is fine for BBC/ITV/Chan 4 only. Scarts from STB to DVD & TV for digital feed.

As far as I can see I can't change the RF channel on my STB - Any ideas as I should be able to get analogue via Cable?

Hi MikeyD! Welcome to Cableforum!

Have you tried using SCART Connections? Co-ax isn't great quality overall.

Cheers,
Sean

Re: RF Problem with PACE STB

Hi Seaneeboy, Thanks for the welcome -
I've got the SCARTs plugged in (one to TV one to DVD-R) but the recorder tunes into the analogue signals hence the problem.

The idea is to be able to record one channel whilst watching another - at the moment using the STB RF as well as SCARTS that's a no go as the Analogue quality is about as good as my son's portable which just uses a telescopic ariel.

The external ariel (Loft one) gives good quality but I'm thinking the cable version should be at least as good?

Cheers

Mike

HI Ianathuth,

No good - tried that but doesn't work with Pace 4001 - just resets the box?
