TV with DVB-S2X tuners

[Analoguesat]

Anyone tried these LG sets on multistream transmissions?

 

[Channel Hopper]

Probably just needs degaussing ......

The remains of a particularly nasty cold ?

It took me all afternoon to tidy up the rats nest of cabling down the back of the old tv cabinet - and about half an hour to connect the telly up to the various av sources and get a picture.

Now need to buy a new cabinet as the bloody tv is too big for the old one!

It wont affect my viewing as its primarily aimed at the US its of little importance to us in Blighty for a good few years

Its a nationwide development starting in South Korea this spring, it might not effect your viewing but it will mine, any test channels I would like to view them,

Its certainly something to look more into if your planning on spending two grand + on a tv,

Listen it does not matter what you spend on a TV be it a couple of hundred or a couple of thousand they are always out of date compared to newer models released every year, if i thought like that i would never purchase anything and would always be waiting for the next best thing which is pointless

 

[Lazarus]

Agreed.

You can get adequately large Smart TVs for well under 200 Sovs these days, but we still have three earlier LCD/LED jobbies with plenty of life in them, so won't be upgrading just yet.

I have two 4k tvs 2015 model and a 2016 model total cost £1000 for both, point I am trying to make is, I cant see the point in spending lots of money when it will be out of date in 12 months time, will leave it at that.

Well that is precisely the point not everyone is the same, if one person is happy with a cheap LCD/LED 4K TV then thats fine but some others want something else better features and picture quality hence they spend 1-2 grand, your quite happy with a cheap LCD i am not i wanted a premium TV with far superior picture quality so i bought myself an OLEDE6V, i had what i call a Cheap Samsung 7000 series before that but returned it due to its somewhat mediocre picture quality.

Your point is valid for you but not everyone else

Your point is valid for you but not everyone else

This is so true , and vice versa .

Oooh - travelxp-4k on 13E looks nice now Ive figured out the not particularly intuitive tuning

 

[Analoguesat]

Confirmed the 43UH650V happily tunes the S2X test channel on 19E 11553H 25500

What's your first impressions ?, pity your on a slow connection, there's a fair few 4k YouTube videos accessible from the browser, going to get a keyboard for mine soon.

It BIG! Im glad I didnt go any bigger - the 43" is quite big enough for our living room. And I need to buy a new corner cabinet for it

The picture is very nice - even on the skiiing that the missus likes watching on Eurosport (SD as we dont have the HD pack) The tube on the old tv must have been very tired indeed as the picture is so much brighter! This is on the standard eco settings - not got into the deeper recesses of the menu structure yet to play with picture quality.

Some of the HD channels via the TM5402 are spectacular - I had a look at the Turkmen channels on 52E last night after they had closed and gone to the overnight town scenes. Even OH said how nice the picture looked. Now I need to train OH to use the HD channels we have access to on Sky & not the SD ones

The onscreen menu could do with some work. I dont find it very intuitive at all although with a bit of cursing Ive got it to scan 13E & 19E lnb feeds.

I havent bothered networking it yet - thats probably a job for next weekend. Im not bothered with the online stuff, thats what the computer is for (& anyway on a 2.5meg bb connection you learn not to bother with streamed content much!). I just want it to play files off the nasbox.

Playing the audio through phono plugs from the Sky box via the old stereo system isnt clever - the audio & video can be quite badly out of synch. However the OH has said she will buy a decent surround sound system now Ive bought the telly so that should disappear once everything is connected using modern tech.

Unsure if you have setting help switched on ? all settings/general/setting help, I tend to use the sport mode all the time appears the best with my eyes

Out of interest what S/W do you have installed, you wont get a update until you network, all settings/general/about this tv/press ok on tv information, I am on S/W 3.3.1-2613 (dreadlocks-deua)

If your using a terrestrial antenna don't forget to set your location for epg,

 

[Analoguesat]

I removed our terresterial antenna after DSO here (late 2008) as I couldnt get a strong enough signal to make digital worth it We have been satellite only ever since

Has anyone used these with a games console or for a pc monitor?

Hello Chris, ive not connected a games console but I have plans for a 4k pc in the near future, as for using it as a monitor, you can screen mirror from laptop


Are you can use the built in web browser


You could connect a pc direct if you wanted.

Most impressed with the capabilities of this LG set - Ive found the splitscreen multi input feature

Ditto, it seems to me theses LG's are almost future proof for the satellite feed hunter, no others like Samsung have blindscan even do they ?

 

[blademedia]

By the time you buy one 8K will be out
