Hello, I've just acquired a FVP-5000T. I take my RF TV cable out of the TV (works fine) and plug it into the FVP and link it to the Tv via HDMI. Get the message "not receiving ... or too weak". Using the correct HDMI Input. Is my indoor aerial inadequate for the FVP? Do I have to use a full blown outside aerial? Thanks for any advice.

Was this a second hand box? If so have you retuned it with the Smart tune option disabled?

Thank you Martin. I was working from the Quick Set Up Guide and evidently needed to dig deeper. Retuned and now very happy with the outcome. Regards,
