LG Plasma TV broken

Sorted. The tunner in the TV was incompatible with the current freeview signal. Same for an old currys freeview box that was working last year. I was unable to find info on this issue. It seems the people behind the signal don't care and those with old stuff should just f-off.

The TV works fine with signal coming through scart and RGB sockets. So, the solution is a china set top box, with WIFI!!!!

The TV is rated at 550W. It eats 260W on average, 160W in less bright power saving mode, 3.3W in sleep.

So not just something that switches on and watch. Switch Tv on with TV remote. Switch China set box on with China set top box remote, choose channel with China set top box remote. Adjust volume with TV remote. Change channel with China set to box remote. Yeah, hassle free. :rolleyes:

How would you know how the china box works? I will get it and see. Possibly you are not used to advanced TVs. For this unit, after power on, it goes straight to the last selected input. Everything will be controlled by a power remote. In the worst case, power remote on, then china remote choose channel. When done, power remote off, go nap.
 
If you say so. You could have bought a on smart or even smart TV for the price of your China set top box.
