i bought a Ross Freesat dish and reciever - DUB-S 5010, from B&Q in May 2011 (£25) set it up, and connected to our old TV via the SCART socket, we recieved upto 445 channels. For Xmas i bought a new HITACHI TV/DVD combo - L26DP04UE (HD, DVB,HDMI,Digital,Freeview) back of TV has 1 SCART, 1 VGA, 1 SPD/F, and a Coax-out. When i tried to connect it together, it says NO SIGNAL, i have tried most combinations and am now getting confused and annoyed

kath: thanks Dave,
postcode sk17 0be. connecting new TV to old aerial we get 10 TV channels and 21 radio.
attaching the Ross decoder box via the SCART produces - No input. have tried the 'source' on TV, SCART, etc still - No input. put it back on old TV and it works OK

kath: tried that, putting them in at side and trying ALL source, aerial , scart, video/side AV etc but it wouldnt pick up. page 16/17 seem to be about these connections, will play tommorow. TV comes with a 3-1 connector, 1 is green, the 3 are blue/green/red would this be used ?

kath: hi guys, tried again. i have now connected the Ross box to the TV - using the scart adapter, when i put tv onto source and SCART it pick up from the Ross dish, and works using Ross remote control. the tv remote doesnt work channel change etc. If i reconnected the old aerial would that work EPG / channel change etc ? is it possible to have them both connected and change from aerial to dish by using the SOURCE button on the tv remote
