Gyn_Paul Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 [quote]And it works well, excellent picture, even with my temp mini antenna in the loft (previous owner took all the tv aerial and splitter system!). I am using a thomson 1000 series box, same as I used in U...[/quote]that's great... I'd logged on to ask if anyone knew if the tech spec was sufficiently similar to the UK's for old Freeview kit to work and here's my question answered. Pity I gave my Freeview decoder away the last time I was in the UK, isn't it!p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Like the SECAM / PAL the Frebch Freeview operates to a different standard so UK boxes still won't work here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Trollope Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 [quote]Like the SECAM / PAL the Frebch Freeview operates to a different standard so UK boxes still won't work here.[/quote]Surely the service is digital, hence only the RF output (should you choose to use it) will be encoded PAL or SECAM. If you plug the TV output of a UK STB into a UK box, then it will work, surely? Likewise with French box/tv. But if you use the RGB output.....
