    Digital TV ...does it pick up HD channels, especially newer channels

    Hi All,

    looking at a 2012 Model to buy and it has digital TV. I know it’s mostly a gimmick but was wondering if it picks up the HD channels? I realise the screen doesn’t have the resolution to display full HD resolution but I would expect it to down convert it.

    Also as some of you may be aware most of the TV stations changed their video encoding mechanism for HD channels a few yrs back and that’s why for some of the older first gen dig tv’s you only get the sound. I’m not sure if the tuner in the Range Rover has a mpeg4 (h.264) decoder or just the older mpeg2.

    I played around with the controls for a bit but couldn’t quite work out how to change the channel....

    curious...

    Darren

    Pretty sure it does pick up the new channels as my kids watch ABC kids (channel 23 I think).

    In terms of tuning its like the radio you use the arrows to auto search up or down to next channel, and then you can store to a channel number by holding the channel number on the touch screen for a few seconds whilst tuned into the channel.

    I cannot work out (but haven't given it much time as it just stays in CH23) how to get the rear remote to operate the TV though, so this is all via the drivers screen.

    Hope that makes sense and helps.

    I'm still working out how to use mine (prompted by this thread) but I have found that it won't go higher than ch 69 and therefore has limitations. The s/w is at the latest level so no improvements are available.
