I was wondering, my Fergie TV can receive VHF channels (although I have not got a VHF source, and I haven't actually tested it to see if it actually can receive them), so, I was thinking of maybe making a little UHF to VHF convertor, assuming it can be done with a less than a shoestring budget... :D

Any ideas or is it just another of my ramblings that can't actually be done? :p

Well, yes it's possible but why bother?

You will have to take a TV source of some kind. If it's a terrestrial source on UHF then the TV will tune in directly to it. If it's off a satellite box, again it'll be easier, and probably better quality, to feed the TV directly.

I was just thinking about it as something to do, plus my TV tends to drift off it's stored channels, so I thought I'd try the VHF part of it... :D
