DTVPal - PSIP up to seven days EPG
Please ready this newspaper analogy to understand the problem will ALL CURRENT BOXES using PSIP mode.

Just like if you were looking at the guide in a newspaper. The print never changes. If someone tells you that it is 12 noon and asks you what is on a particular channel, but they lied to you, really it is 1 PM. You will tell them the wrong information as far as what event is currently on.
Secondly, if they then ask you if you could please tune to a particular event that is on at 12 noon and it is really 1 PM, you can't.<snip>

So you see any box that you buy will have the same problem using PSIP time.
Please also read reviews to understand boxes

Nicely done! I think your interest in epg and controls is more important than signal pass thru, for me at least.

This URL re-directs to their main page... The new link is:
www. freedtvshop .com/fdtv/ converters/dtvpal.php
(Take the spaces out - it's not letting me post a URL right now.)
I just ordered a pair of boxes, and was indeed quoted $14.95 for the two boxes - $2.50 each, plus $9.95 flat shipping (1 or 2 boxes). |
