Afternoon clever people. I have two product queries and to my surprise they are both from Daewoo. I have just had a new TV aerial installed so I can use my over 75 licence in a new mobile home. The chap who installed it showed me all the proof that it was working, however when I connected up an old Daewoo TV that I had been using as a PC monitor it did a search but did not find any stations at all. I looked at a handbook I found on line and it seemed to be looking for the correct things in the correct place i.e. in UK and with all the suggested frequency range, but in the end it just gave up. I took it home and it did the same thing on my home aerial so it may be that the set top box connecting to the freeview channels was stopping it finding the individual programmes. Or has the onset of Freview changed everthing? So what do I need to do to make this work? I is quite an old TV but it is LED and wide screen so I thought it would be able to work out what was needed. Any thoughts.

The other Daewoo product is a butane gas fire also for the mobile home. I got it running OK and it works a treat, but when I try and turn it off I have to remove it rorm the fireplace and turn off the gas. This does not seem logical as I expected to be able to switch of from the top controls, without having to get access to the gas bottle. It is labelled Fine Elements and inside it says it is a L1188A. I found that several companies were advertising Fine Elements from Daewoo, but I could not find the Daewoo website to ask them.

Has anyone got any ideas about these two devices.

Thanks and regards. George.

How old is the TV? Sound like it might be pre digital.

Digital now uses the same channels as analogue, which has been switched
off for many a year.

You can get a Freeview STB that allows an analogue TV to be used with
digital transmissions.

Are you sure it has a digital tuner built in?

And if it does are you sure you are tuning it and not the analogue one?

home and it did the same thing on my home aerial so it may be that

You could use an external freeview box of some description.

From long ago, but we used to have a portable gas fire which had three
heat settings via two push buttons. The secret to turning it off, was
to partially press buttons in, that would release the buttons and turn
it off.

Not any idea about gas, but exactly how old is this tv. Is it an early
analogue tuner set?
If so then its not going to work. you need a box.
If it is freeview, it may well be one of the veery early ones that cannot
cope with the upgraded multiplexes which as I recall had poorly designed
firmware so legal changes in the standard are simply not supported by them
and hence you still need a box!

Have you told it to tune the Digital (DTV) channels rather than Analogue
(ATV) channels? There are no analogue broadcasts anymore.

I have used a butane gas fire in a caravan in the past. The controls on
it were only for selecting the number of "bars," high or low and for
lighting it (press to spark and hold to keep the gas flowing until the
"thermocouple" warmed up).

To turn it off you had to turn off the in-line gas valve in the pipe
supplying it - which also meant that you were not relying upon its
internal valve for shut-off between uses.

It seems likely that the gas fire is pre-digital. If so performance on
digital gas will be erratic.

Might be ok if you use a digital hose though ;-)

Only if it has gold-plated connectors surely ?.
