FAQs
Can this box receive satellite TV channels?
No, the Antiference DVB01TT2 is designed exclusively for receiving Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) signals broadcast over the air, not satellite (Sky, Freesat) or cable TV.
What is the difference between DVB-T and DVB-T2?
DVB-T2 is the second generation of digital terrestrial television broadcasting, offering more efficient data transmission, which allows for more channels and higher quality HD broadcasts compared to the older DVB-T standard.
How do I record TV programs?
To record, you need to connect a USB flash drive or external hard drive to the USB 2.0 port. Then, navigate to the PVR (Personal Video Recorder) section in the receiver's menu to schedule recordings.
Do I need a special aerial?
You need a standard digital terrestrial TV aerial that is suitable for receiving DVB-T and DVB-T2 signals in your region. Existing aerials should work if they are in good condition and compatible with digital signals.
Can I watch channels from any country?
The receiver will only pick up digital terrestrial channels available in your geographical location based on your aerial's reception capabilities.
How do I update the software?
Software updates can typically be performed via the USB port using a downloaded firmware file from the manufacturer's website, or through Over-The-Air (OAD) updates if available for your region.
What is the 'Remote Control Extender' for?
The extender allows you to place the receiver unit out of sight (e.g., behind your TV) while still being able to control it with the remote. The extender's sensor needs to be positioned where it can 'see' the TV's original remote sensor location.
Troubleshooting
No signal or "No Service" message
Ensure the aerial is correctly connected and positioned. Perform a channel scan via the receiver's menu. Check if other TVs in the area are receiving a signal.
Receiver not powering on
Verify the power adapter is securely connected to both the receiver and a working electrical outlet. Check the power indicator light on the unit.
Remote control not working
Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Make sure the remote control extender sensor is visible and unobstructed. Try operating the remote directly at the receiver.
USB media playback issues
Confirm the USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Ensure the media file format is supported by the receiver (check manual for specifics). Try a different USB drive.
Poor picture or sound quality
Check the HDMI or CVBS cable connection for looseness. Ensure the aerial cable is undamaged. Verify the broadcast signal strength in your area.
