  I recently brought a DVB-T antenna and connect to my philips digibox. den
connect it to my tv tuner, also i done everything else with the ir reception
andcontrol box, when i got tv settings and set up tv signal, it get throught
it all until it comes to finding and signal. it has select channel, s-video
and composite video. what one do i select because iv tried up to 10 with the
channels ans still nothing, and nothing with the other option, where am i
going wrong do i need a more powerfull aerial or different set top box, my
antenna is compatable with freeview boxs so i presumed it would work

 That depends on how your box is connected to your tuner.  If its a single
connector with  5 or 6 pins, its S-Video. If its a single larger connector
with only one center pin, then its Coax.  If its three RCA plug connectors
(in the US Red, White and Yellow usually), then its composite.
