Re: Freeview/iPlayer With Modulator
Hi Martin
Back to first principles. You need an internet connection to register and watch Catch Up TV services.
Should you have a laptop, then subject to the device you have, you can use either the HDMI output fed into a HDMI to composite converter then to the Aurora or use the VGA socket. In the case of the VGA, you will need to make up a small circuit to bridge the 3 colours, as shown on the web. This will produce a composite video suitable for the Aurora. The sound will be from the earphone or audio out jack.
Alternative 1:
Subject to your internet provider, there should be a set top box available to view the 150 odd channels now available and this will also have the BBC and Commercial TV catch up services plus possibly more.
In the case of Fibre to cabinet FTTC, the one I have, the set top box has a Scart output. My service also includes a PVR which is very useful as not all programmes are available on catch up.
Fibre to Home FTTH, is another matter. Here only a HDMI output will be provided to enable 4k video to be watched and you will need an HDMI converter.
Alternative 2:
Purchase a ROKO Express or similar and plug this into a HDMI converter and off you go. Simples!
