Tv Tuner

[hoony]

as implied above, i have a tv installed in my car but don't know how to tune it...

do i need an aerial or whatever?

i don't know what i need, basically, i have a tv that flips out when i tell it to but only has two channels, AV1 and wait for it... AV2

how do i get normal tv channels, i am n00b hence the question, you guys just know i'd appreciate all the help in the world and i would love it if you could just tell me what i'd have to do to get it working, cheers

Are you sure its a TV Tuner? Cos that sounds like it needs 2 video inputs

[lunjiaow]

Yeah. It might be a dvd player only but you can buy a tv receiver which connects to the AV inputs.

I always wanted to do this...

You'd need a TV Tuner & AV Adapter for it, and also an External TV Aerial that plugs into the aerial connection that's on the Tuner Box.

If it had TV Antenna Input straight away on the unit, that'd make things a whole lot easier lol.

is it a jap tv, if so you need a ntsc to pal converter. i had one originally in mine but it was too hard and bulky to get going. also due to the distance the main tv stations are away. tv antennas in your car don't work to well. only thing i done was hooked up a portable dvd player that could play ntsc.

There was no aerial connection Andrew, like I said on Friday, it looks to be just an LCD screen.

[ix9]

A brand/model would help dude!

[Magic]

It's China-spec I believe lol.

[hoony]

China is mainland...

it's from Hong Kong BAHAHAHA

okay so this is an LCD screen that does sh*t is it?

time to upload videos on to my ipod and play that then, so angry, waste of money LOL

swear it's a tv, what the hell are the channel +/- buttons for

there must be a solution somewhere?

...

PLEASE?

Connector: acc power (red) audio/video (AV) input connect, the rich connect outside the input of power = negative on TV capability, unless you do what I said, which involves buying more stuff and will be a real headfcuk, and even then no gurantee you'll get good reception from it.

Yeh, just stick with the DVDs Andrew.

It doesn't do that either

[lunjiaow]

its just a flip out lcd monitor..

that means youll have to get an actual dvd player and hook it up to the lcd monitor.

Should have got an all in one dvd and monitor...

[hoony]

who wants an LCD screen TV that doesn't do anything?

many people have said it looks nice, doesn't mean it has to work...

sell it cheap cheap, $150 if you can find out what to do with it

you gotta laugh at these things and move on

[NA_Goodness]

Bahaha. Good work Eric! Gotta read that fine print!

Andrew... buy a DVD head unit without a screen, get an Alpine one that can use you iPod more efficiantly (thru the head unit itself) plus all the tuning and that, and just plug it into you head unit.

Having said that... Often it is better to go for the more expensive and safe option rather then the cheap and "easy" way out!
