Whoops! Honestly, my hand slipped.....
That's probably far too cryptic a title for the content so apologies if this turns out to be of no interest whatsoever lol
Had a search setup on eBay for literally years waiting for a hybrid tv tuner for my rns-e to turn up either in the uk or cheap enough to make it worth shipping from Europe Familiar ping-ping-ping of half a dozen eBay emails today and there's a uk advertised tuner for less than they tend to charge in Europe, pulled from a high spec late rs6 that's been broken for spares Quick phone call later and it's mine  happy days!Can now watch the f1 again when sat in a field on a typical Sunday afternoon  Won't arrive till Monday though

There's an idea!
I only watch the BBC coverage - don't have Sky and don't much want to pay for it. I suppose now I've got 4G I could just stream it on my phone, but I don't have an S5 so the screen on the RNS-E is bigger!

Back in the day I could watch it on my RNS-C with analogue tuner in my old S8, complete with soundtrack on Bose.
Not the same with the new engines, but hey, that's progress!

Well my parcel was available for collection from UK Mail this morning, so couldn't resist popping down there to collect it! After a morning of doing family stuff I've been out and installed it this afternoon.
Relatively straightforward to get the old one out and all the wiring that was done when RNS-E was installed in mine seems to be of a high standard - no dodgy taped connectors or spare wires hanging out of anything! Only difficulty, which I think Ian has referenced in the past, was that the 2x2 antenna plugs are spaced differently between the analogue and hybrid tuners. I've managed to take the old plugs apart and push fit the aerial connections but will need to see if I can acquire the correct plastic holders to make sure they don't pop out over time. 'old' analogue RNS-E wiring http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1396709333 New hybrid tuner in place http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1396709333 It even works! http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1396709333

Excellent.
Just watching Bahrain qualifying on the iPad courtesy of my sons Sky subscription. I guess you can sit in the car now and watch the Grand National.  Are the aerials some sort of Fakra connector? Unlikely to come adrift as they are TBH, but dare I suggest a strip of duct tape?
