I've heard the same thing and can't believe it.
The UK has DVB-T, so why can't you order the settop box?
Makes no sense to me.

Online parts catalogue

My tech is still checking on the input.

AFAIK, settop box and tv tuner have FBAS signals, what the CCC converts into RGB so it can be displayed on the screen (CID). So, if you are asking for outputs... FBAS... Input - my tech is checking...

Iceman,

In the pic below you see the installed box and FOUR empty pins.
Those four are AV inputs, now, don't ask me why the V has two as well...
Oh, ahh, yeah... I know those are not Cinch inputs...

Thanks for the pictures.
These are strange connectors.
I see 2 greens and 2 brown ones left.
Does this mean that I have 2 video inputs and 1 audio input (left-right).
And if I dont have a TV tuner yet, do i need one ?
