Setting up EE TV box with IP Mode and Aerial In/Out

It'll be interesting to see if EE stick with the current BT IP mode service or negotiate the necessary rights to migrate to Freely

@Midnight_Voice asked  “Anyone know a good technical reason for that?”

Different tuners?

 IP mode channels do not use a tuner.  In Aerial mode Aerial channels get tuned in from the Freeview transmitter.  in IP mode you get the current standard list of FreetoAir channels relevant to your ISP addresss location.

The Antenna Out option is still an option in the Picture & Sound  section of Settings when the Box Pro is in IP mode. Haven’t checked  it out  but the settings does allow it to be set on.

Yes, my point is that there is no tuning involved between Aerial In and Aerial Out, just a little amplification boost.

However, if someone using Aerial Out on the Pro box does select IP mode and find that Aerial Out no longer works, all they have to do is pull the two aerial cables off the box and couple them together, so it’s no biggie 😛
