hmmm, i would’ve thought you’d have more trouble with the dvd part with it being zone 1 and ntsc. i imagine that tv signals in SA are broadcast somewhere btwn 89mhz and about 107mhz. not sure about the states, anyone else know?
run a scan on the TV to capture any TV signals and make sure you have an antennae hooked up to the television set. TV stations broadcast on a FM frequency which their signals do not travel that far such as AM frequencies do.
Look into possible cable or satellite hookups where you are to get a better reception of broadcast in the area.
Make sure your button on your dvd player is set to tv ,not the dvd,there should be a switch on the remote also for tv/dvd .
To set your tv channels ,you must run a scan and save the channels that bring in the reception.
