2. I guess the next thing would be to try it on A/V



** The DSE set top box only outputs video signals - so you MUST use the AV
inputs on your TV.

This does say "Optional UHF Modulator, PAL G/I/K, NTSC".
What 'optional' means is anyone's guess! [Turn off / Turn on?]
But it obviously isn't Ch3 or 4.

How come the VHF TV set can actually receive one UHF channel? Is that a
special Australia 'feature'?


Nah, years ago it was standard to use a modulator output (usually on VCRs)
tuned to one of the low VHF channels. These days one expects to find A/V
on a TV.
