looks fine the tyc bit as for the rest it i should imagine the black will be earth crimp a ring connector on it and place under bolt on the tv bracket.red will be live and other a powered feed as well.on the box i got these where marked up.basically the box needs x 2 power feeds one on all the time so the system retains its settings.you will have to check which is which then connect them up to the highline loom

Thanks mate. Does it have to be wired into the Highline? Didn't want to start splicing existing kit really.
Does the aerial need a 12v too or do I just stick it in the box?

Thanks for all your help, I've managed to sort it out now.

Basically attached all the wires as per my photos before except swapped the video lead over.
As I said I wanted to keep everything as original as possible so rather than splice into the cars loom I soldered the power from the DVB-T to a 3A fused aux plug. This can now be plugged in or removed whenever I like.
I spliced into this the power for the aerial and it's worked great.

I did have to swap the video leads from the TIYC adapter as there was no picture initially. I've filled an 8gb USB drive with music and films.

One thing I have found is that the .avi file played a treat but I had to change the format to NTSC to display it correctly, though when I did I lost sound.

The freeview itself plays back set to PAL. Gonna have a bit more of a play around with it tomorrow and try getting sound back on movies.

Short clip of it in use here:
