Using Freeview box on Sony KV1320
Dear all,
I have two of these wonderful TVs, one mk1 and the other a mk2. I would like to get freeview on them, am looking into the Humax Fox 2 receiver. Has anyone experience of viewing FreeView on this type of old tv? Any advice would be much appreciated. Best, Vishal Vora London |

Re: Sony KV1320
Hi Vishal and welcome to the forum.
There should not be a problem using these sets with a Freeview box. The only proviso is that there is a UHF modulator either in the box itself or externally fitted as neither of these sets will accept video entry. You can of course connect the scart output of the Freeview box to a VCR and then tune the Sony to the RF (UHF) output of the VCR. Good luck! Tas |

Re: Sony KV1320
As these will (presumably) not have a SCART (or similar) socket (at least, I can't see anything in the circuit diagram), you will either need a Freeview box with a UHF output which can be fed into the aerial socket of the TV (others may know whether your proposed Humax Fox 2 has this) or an external modulator (a VHS video recorder with a SCART socket will provide this function).
edit: I see I've just been beaten to it!
