TV RECEPTION

Apologies, if I was not clear .....

The car is still in warranty so I think it's off to the dealer to see if there is a problem with the tuner as I got better reception in my car than I did in the house - until the digital retune that is!

I've been to the dealer 5 times ... they told me they can't fix it as it doesn't work i.e the digital reception is very poor when the car moves!.... I was wondering if anybody else had this problem.....I'm confused as my DAB is fine!

Have you tried a different dealership for a 2nd opinion? You can take the car to any European dealer for repairs not just the supplying dealer, and as many here know there are better dealerships than others. The other thing to try is to get our contacts at Land Rover Customer Service Mike/Liam or Pete involved as they have access to more technical back-up than any dealer's service department.
If you are going to contact them then I recommend doing it by PM rather a post in their section of the forum as they will want the VIN of your car, your full name and the name of the dealership that has attempted the fixes up to now

I agree with Tim, We've (well the wife has) watched entire programs on 60 mile journeys uninterrupted and with no loss of signal.
Lucky for me, that the commentary on 'come dine with me' is pretty good even without seeing the pictures

Just to add that this feature is excellent - transmission/signal reception notwithstanding. Travelling back from south of France earlier this year I drove for about 6 hours towards Calais and then asked the wife to take over for a couple of hours. After a refreshment stop she agreed and I sat in the passenger seat and tuned to French TV to watch the Champions League final. The picture, when receiving a good to strong signal was excellent and there was buffering and bits of static on-screen at other times. Meanwhile the wife continued driving and using the SatNav which only she could see (and I watched the football on the same screen and which only I could see). Overall it was fantastic to watch this game which would have otherwise been missed and while driving at 130 kph on a French autoroute.

It does work and very well.

Thank you gents for the advice! I will try another different dealer...as I feel I am being fobbed off!

I've just caught up with this topic again. Whilst my dual screen works fine, as I said, I too have reception problems (I live in a rural area, so maybe the signal is not great). One regular five-mile journey I do as a passenger (coming home from the pub!) affords me virtually no reception most of the time. (You mention DAB working, but that's irrelevant as it's on an entirely different frequency).

I have the same problem with tv, cuts off loads unless crawling and even then not too good. Is fine stationery. And im understanding the thread, im not talking about the dual view aspect, im talking reception dissapointing ! Is it true reception can be improved then? I dont live out in the sticks.

So you're not talking about the fact that it is designed to cut out at anything other than a crawl (except for dual view units)??

And you're definitely talking reception? and your software is al up to date? etc etc
