I have a Videomate 750

what is the problems your having?

[Pigbristle]

In Sans discription of the card it says it should have a RF/in connector on the back of the card but for the life of me I can't see one on it.

These are the connections on the back of the card
1, Loop through.
2, Satellite TV-in (not RF)
3, IR
4, Ext audio in.
5, Ext audio out.
6, S-Video in.
7, Composite in.

Please can you confirm the use of a standard (RF) ariel connector on this card?

cheers

When it has S in the name it means satellite

So no it's not for an Ariel connection but a satellite connection

So they were wrong to advertise an RF/in in there description then?

Got to make sure I get my facts right for when I return it ;o)

I've just been told all I need to do is to replace my standard RF cable end connector:

with the new (screwed) type of coax connector

and every thing will be ok, is that right?

Can anybody reassure me that this will work?


Don't forget I only have an ordinary Ariel on my roof, no satellite dish.
