Have activated DVB-T in my CCF and option is now displayed on touch screen...

Today was preparing the RJB for separate fused power supply to RSE & DVB-t modules.
PLAN A.....
Was to replace the electric memory seat relay with a complete rear fuse holder but after looking at the relay spades realised that they were different to the new block mount, so I shelved that idea.



PLAN B.....
Was to use existing fuse/relay holders and find a space for the DVB-t module fuse as I'd already found spare spots for both the CAV and RSE previously......luckily there was one left.
Those who are uncomfortable with electrics/CAN or MOST look away now!


Spliced into MOST Ring Break Circuit main supply, being careful to make sure I spliced in after the circuit breaker and soldered on two feeds, 1 for RSE module and the other for the DVB-T module (yellow/red). Upgraded both supplies to above factory standards, not for any other reason other than I had the pigtails available in a heavier gauge and the same for the ECU supplies after the fuse again because I had that option available to me with my spare pigtails.



Then reassemble with extra fused supplies ready for ECU's. Curled up WH/BU wire is RSE supply wire stored away until I connect.





I was also able to update the fuse overlay diagram with correct positions and fuse values for CAV FD9, Rear Media FD4 & DVB-T FB7

Now just have to wait for parts to arrive. MY15

DVB is that not something that you get when flying. mind you get one of those wires wrong and you might be

Impressed but I see enough on the telly indoors without one in my car.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Agree with the Kraaaaaap on "Free to air" but its more for the rear media system, so it's available from the rear screens.
I'm cautiously confident with the wiring side of things, a lot of time has gone into familiarizing myself with schematics and there's always a "check twice cut once" approach. MY15

Digital TV receiver module arrived today and happy to see that the RSE & DVB-T modules are identical in size which makes my job of mounting them easy as the plan is to piggyback the RSE module on top of the DVB-t module. This is similar to the other side of the vehicle with the Audio & DAB modules.








One of the reasons for choosing this particular module is that it came with the LR chassis mount which allows it to be mounted directly to the Freelander 2 chassis mount bracket and then the RSE module on top with minimum amount of custom mounting to do. Also because the DVB-t has a fan the mount is already designed to hold the module just far away enough for the fan to maintain good airflow.

Not a lot to add here currently as most has been covered in the Rear Media Topic. Module stack is ready to be mounted, just waiting for the chassis mount.
The DVB-t is quiet simple with really only a power, ground and MOST. When Rear Media module is present then most of the connections are between the two modules ie LVDS and CVBT.
The main bulk of this installation will the aerials and how we tackle this, more on this later but as there is a vacant array with the rear screen, 3 points to be exact and a spare aerial on the passenger rear screen (Telestart remote) I'm hoping to utilize these as all or some of the areal points. MY15

I would have thought that the aerials are tuned to the frequency going through them. IE i suspect the 'Telestart' aerial wont give you very good DVB-T reception. Might need some tinkering with or buying an after market magnetic roof aerial to live under the head liner which I've done before.

Yeah the antennas are a bit of a question mark.

Experience with the DAB so far, using aftermarket antennas, existing antennas on the glass, and so on, has been a bit hit & miss.

Taking the Discovery 4 as an example, the TV antennas are on the side windows, and they are four identical ones.

Here is one of the side windows in the D4

Yes, 2 of the aerials for the TV are incorporated into the rear spoiler. MY15
