Well I finally managed to remember the show tonight - in Sydney its on TVS at 19.30 Thursdays.

Being my first episode I was surprised to see SOOOO many Land Rover products, and even an interview with Andrew Richmond in his workshop.

This was episode 55 - anyone have copies of the other ones? I would especially like to see the High Country ones - even if SClarke is in it https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

TUNE IN TO tvs

Televisions have tuners that allow different channel settings to be memorised and stored on preselected positions on the television.

The instructions that came with your television set are the best guide for tuning as the methods vary from model to model.

If you do not have the instruction manual for your TV set, look for them on the web site of the set manufacturer.

The instructions following are for some of the more common and some older sets.

Manual Tuning for UHF 31

Before tuning in your television, make sure the AFT (Automatic Fine Tuning) is switched off. On some sets this occurs automatically when the panel door or drawer is opened.
Tuning a Turret Tuner set

A turret tuner is an old style television without a remote control and with a round manual dial to change the channel.

Turn the tuner to channel U, and rotate the UHF fine tuner to 31. Some sets have a VHF/UHF button to switch to U, before fine tuning to 31.
Automatic tuning

Press the pre-set button and the tuning band VH(H), VH(L) or UHF will appear on screen. Your television will automatically search for the television signals as they are located in order and display the channel number it has allocated for each.
Press button sets

Each channel selection button has its own band selector switch and fine tuning control, meaning any channel can be allocated to any button. When the fine tuning is completed, turn on the AFT button.
Troubleshooting

A good outdoor antenna will strengthen the signal. Indoor antennas can be problematic.

A good quality coaxial cable is recommended. Many reception problems are due to the wrong antenna cabling. Ask your local electrical retailer if you are unsure about your cabling.

A snowy image may indicate insufficient signal strength. It may be due to an obstacle, such as a building, between your antenna and the transmitter at Gore Hill. Try to relocate the antenna on your property. Obtaining a masthead (booster) amplifier may resolve this.

Again talk to your local electrical retailer if you are unsure.

Maybe some nice person in Brisbane could make a copy and send it to us so we could run it at the next GCLRO Club meeting or just lend it out to members.

Cheers and please, PLEASE. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
