No solution I'm afraid. In the end I had to buy a new aerial when I bought a new tuner box with twin inputs had a much thinner style antenna, and I fitted them very discretely on the front windscreen instead.

The rear sunblind only clashes at the top of the window due to the angle it comes up at. Maybe you could try fitting it at the bottom of the rear window instead where the sunblind would clear it, but the only thing is that it might not get so strong a signal there. But it is a great little aerial so you may be ok.

Maybe there is a way of stopping the blind before it gets all the way up?

Looks like Sean has another customer - I have just placed my order.

I spoke to him for over an hour on the phone tonight. He really is a top guy and another great addition to this Club.

Thanks, David.
In that case, I'll try first with the two aerials that come with the DVB-T that I took from Sean. If reception is poor, I'll buy the other one and try what you say fitting it at the bottom of the rear window. By the way, what about the red wire? What is it?

Bought a 4gig card to put my music on, I already tried a 2gig card and that was ok.

The unit wouldn't read the card in the slot, so out of curiosity I tried it in the usb port using my card reader and it worked no problem, but I didn't realy want the wire dangling out of the front of the unit, strange, any explanations?

That's very strange they should take upto a 32Gb card, mine works with a 4Gb card no problem. I have a 8Gb card used for the GPS side of things I will give that a try and let you know the outcome.

Totally Agree Eamonn, it so much better when the person on the end of a telephone or email can speak your lingo, Sean has been VERY helpful to me.
