Greetings all,

I moved to Reinach BL from the Philippines, bringing with me a 2015 Samsung curve 55" smart TV.

In Reinach, we use InterGGA for cable TV, which needs to input to the TV directly from the wall with an AV/antenna cable. InterGGA gave us an adapter so the AV cable would fit into the TV, but, it seems our TV does not have a DVB-C tuner, so our TV cannot find any digital TV channels.

Feels like a lost cause, and we have the following options:

1. Replace the TV with a Swiss bought one.
2. Ask InterGGA for a set-top box option instead of the 'from the wall' AV cable. We think set-box cable converts the signal already, which would bypass the issue of our TV not having DVB-C.
3. Explore any DIY conversion/adapters to give our TV DVB-C, but no idea this is even feasible.

Any more knowledgeable input on this topic would be much appreciated! I'm sure we're not the first family to have experienced this DVB-C topic...

Thanks all!

Changing the Tuner in the TV will be the cheapest option.

DVB-C is European standard, so it's not surprising your TV doesn't have it. We are with InterGGA, now called Quickline too and I would suggest you get their set top box then HDMI input. This is the easiest and most user-friendly option. You also have the much more complicated option (my setup) of a separate PC with a DVB-C card that then streams the TV signal to an Android TV Box, but this is, as mentioned, complicated although brings numerous benefits

Thanks. We'll get onto Quickline as ask them to change to a set top box. Hopefully it won't be much of a challenge to switch.
