I havea Grundig Freetsat HD receiver - Freesat

ncs · 26-04-2008, 11:36

Well, Comet may have been naughty. I just walked out of my local Comet with a GUFSAT01HD box.

Have taken a cpl of pics which I will upload shortly, but more interested in setting up the box :-)

As mentioned in previous posts, there are 2 scarts, ethernet port , and sat in and sat out sockets, oh, and a coax digital output too

Here we go again.

Well, judging by recent posts, you aren't going to be believed until you do post up some pictures, which I look forward to seeing if this is true...

Paddy

ncs · 26-04-2008, 11:43

OK, someone tell me how I upload pics to this site please...

I have a few to post, but someone please tell me what pics would satisfy them ?

Paddy C · 26-04-2008, 11:45

Well, you can't upload directly to this site, you need a 3rd party image site, like Photobucket to upload them to, then post the links to the pictures here.

Pictures of the EPG, search and scan banner and the initial set-up screens would be nice.

Do you get the audio track on Channel 4 (The 8350 one at 10.729 GHZ) with the Grundig Box?

Hang on..only just getting it all setup..takes about 10 mins for updated software to be delivered to it :-)

Paddy C · 26-04-2008, 11:52

Looking good so far... now some EPG shots and pictures of the scan banner when watching a channel would be nice. Also, could you take one of the remote? (And hold the camera steady!)

Thanks for taking these!

Two pictures of the instruction book. Front cover and the contents page. The remote control.

I might chance my arm later and take a trip to Argos and see what I get. I would have preferred a PVR box though.. I can't record content to my DVD recorders HDD drive as theres only a HDMI output, not input

Well spotted, I wonder if the SD versions have?.

ncs · 26-04-2008, 11:58

Please be patient..it does seem to take some time to setup..currently it's busy scanning for channels..

Also, I'm sure you will appreciate that now I've done my duty to show you a few pics I'd like to finish setting it up, and have a look at what it provides..I will upload more pics when I AM READY...

I appreciate you are all hungry for info, and we've all seen the post by ppl claiming to have a box when they havn't and maybe I have yet to prove 100% that I have one..but I would like to play with my new toy for..

Oh..sounds like it's finished scanning...

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I was giving you orders, just asking for some pics to help me decide whether I want to get one of these now or wait until the PVR one comes out, or get Sky HD. I just don't know yet, but Freesat is currently winning as there's no fee for having it or using it.

Well its no good for me! As my Philips TV only has the DVI type HD input!
I am sure that I am not the only one with this type of HD connection!

Looks like they use a 12v adaptor, great news for caravaner's
