[QUOTE="a_q, post: 516245, member: 278626"] There is a new offer in Maplin for the Fotec Star plus dish. I picked up a 'B' grade one and have attached it to my TV. So far I have the menus up and I've just attached the dish - just about to point it (I'll wait till the adverts in the Rangers match ;^) However I only have the menu on composite video so far - I have tried connecting the Fortec to the plasma screen (old NEC) with a HDMI->DVI lead but no dice - there is no video out of the HDMI. I have set the thing up to 720p and CVBS (RGB greys out the 720 option). So my question is will it output video on the HDMI port ONLY to a HDMI device - not DVI? Or are there any tricks? P.S. Slung a dish up on the roof on a couple of bricks and tuned it in in under 30 minues on Astra 18.2E, is this a record? ;^) [/QUOTE]
