    Hello, Landixon can you tell me what’s the name of the second piece that you connected onto the tv tuner for the extra input. Also I tried to set up my tuner but the signal strength is low and also I dont have that additional piece that you have for the Antenna and the cable wire to plug into at the same time. Do I need both inputs to be plugged in?

  20. Iandixon Says:

    with it being …
    with it being digital it either works or it doesn’t and it worked ok for me but it depends on the signal in your area. It will work out side the uk but you will only get channels broadcasted locally
