Does anyone on here have an Hisense TV and watch Sky on it from another room through an aerial cable, ie on an analogue channel? I tuned one in for a customer a few days ago and as normal got the shed load of Digital channels and 1 Analogue channel. Problem is I can’t find out how to switch between Digital and Analogue. Usually you find it one channel below Bbc 1 but it’s not there.
Rang Hisense technical and they haven’t a clue either.

I found the same. Bought a large, expensive professional grade monitor. It had a serial communications system but I couldn't find anything about it and they couldn't help at all. Sorry doesn't help you.
Usually on Source or Input you may get the Terrestrial option - ATV ?
Just select the source with the Input key.
Where's the analogue broadcasting coming from? That's a new one on me.
HiSense might be different, but on every TV I've ever tuned in (back when analogue still existed) ATV and DTV were considered separate input sources.

Ancient Sky boxes will transmit an analogue signal to another TV (eg in the bedroom). Surprised it still works.
will transmit an analogue signal
Well no modern TV can receive that.
Tune modern TVs in every day of the week, 99% still have an analogue tuner which will only have one use and that’s to receive a signal from an old Sky box in another room. The source/ input button just gives you an option of tv, no Digital or analogue.
Well no modern TV can receive that.
Very modern, perhaps. My main TV is around two years old and still has an ATV tuner.
The only tv I’ve comes across without an analogue tuner was a Sony about 6 months ago. The guy had it in his bar/ shed in his garden and had Sky HD piped across with a magic eye. ( Analogue signal ) I rang Sony technical and a very helpful young lady told me to do a factory reset and set country of origin as Greece and it would give me the option of an analogue tuner, and it did. Also it kept the menus/ language in English.
I would think most of these TVs are made for more than just the UK market hence the need to select your country when setting them up.
Well no modern TV can receive that.
My LG C2 OLED has a legacy arieal socket.... It's a thoughtfull addtion, but largly redundant.
Just because it has an aerial socket doesn’t mean it has an analogue tuner.
What else woould you want an aerial socket for?
The feed from a aerial that is receiving (digital) freeview.
Possibly, but it's a strange case when the TV has wi-fi and an ethernet port.
My LG G2 has an analogue tuner. No aerial cable plugged in though so no idea how to switch to analogue.
On the Samsung you used to press the TV button on the remote to switch between analogue and digital tuner. Also entering the channel number again did the same thing e.g. choose channel 101 (or whatever it was) for BBC 1, then type 101 into the remote again and it would try and switch to analogue channel 101. May be worth a try.
I think some people are getting confused between analogue and digital terrestrial broadcasts.
In the UK analogue was switched off over 10 years ago.
My 10 year old Panasonic has an analogue tuner. My 2 year old Samsung doesn't.
Well if anyones interested the customer rang me to ask if I’d had any joy in finding how to access the analogue tuner on their tv as their son had also rang Hisense for them and was told no one there knew how to do it or even if it was possible. So I went round to have a quick look before giving in and within two mins I’d sorted it.
You can switch between DTV and ATV by using the CH list button on the remote. Bit of faffing but the elderly couple are chuffed, saves them getting Sky Q.
My Toshiba kitchen tv used to receive DTV and the analogue channel from the pass through on my old Sky+HD box (all via the coax cable) in just this way.
The easiest way to get to the Sky feed was to go to BBC1 and then use P- to drop one channel down.
(I've recently just had the 'free' upgrade to SkyQ so I'll now have to source one of the HDMI/Cat6 TX/RX setups and feed some Cat6 across instead of the existing Coax cabling).

Don't you have a CRT for that? How else are you going to play Duck Hunt?
More seriously: the SNES outputted RGB from the MULTI OUT port. You'd have to be mad to try and play it over RF.
