T.V. to Projector

[Dexter1210]

does anyone know if a normal VHS video machine has a tv signal receiver built in? I am wanting to connect the video machine to a projector to be able to watch terrestrial t.v.

Cheers guys, I just wondered if it was worth buying the extra scart and rca only to fins it wouldn't work. will be investing in a freeview (cheers Henry!)

Just noticed another post r.e. licencing. what is the situation regarding video to projector bering in mind that there is no t.v. present is it the same as t.v. cards for computers I wonder?

As far as I understand it, if you are going to receive and demodulate a TV signal you need a license, regardless of the viewing equipment.

[paulears]

no - just having the apparatus that could do it is enough - it doesn't have to even be plugged in!

Let's not forget you can get a discount on your TV licence, not sure how much, but I think it's around £10.00 (Go on Guys you know you want to prove me wrong ;-))

 

To qualify for this stupendous discount you only have to be blind, and not able to see it....

Do I need a licence?

 

If you use a TV or any other device to receive or record TV programmes (for example, a VCR, set-top box, DVD recorder or PC with a broadcast card) - you need a TV Licence. You are required by law to have one.
