Hi
I was lucky enough to get one of amazon black friday deals and got 372 Toshiba HD TV with freeview HD built in.
Few questions on how to get best out of it:
1- I normally have sky box connected but have an aerial as backup. I have a socket in my flat with common aerial on roof. When i connect new TV to aerial socke, i only get 5 normal channels and cant get any freeview channels.
2- I have normal sky box which is connected to TV using SCART. can i get a better quality by using other type of connection (component or something else?)
3- I also have Wii and a Philips upscaling DVD player connected using composite (yellow/white/red) cable. What are my options here to get better quality out of these two devices?
thanks

1) On the Telly, are you actually on the DVB tuner and not the standard analogue one? It'll have both.
2) Not really. Only benefit is on the new HD boxes using HDMI.
3) Same as you are currently connected but if DVD player has HDMI, use that.0 -
