Turn your Samsung Smart TV into a two way telescreen just like in the 1984 Big Brother society with an add on camera. http://www.leconcepts.COM/products/lcd-tvs/1216-samsung-cy-stc1100-smart-tv-skype-camera.html?source=Froogle Remember, if you have something to hide from the camera, you must be doing something wrong. And if the government do not take advantage of the camera in the room, why...

Hi all, I have connection problems with my Samsung 32 inch LCD TV And my Humax HDR-FOX T2 Freeview+ HD Twin Tuner with 1TB Recorder. The TV Is a: Samsung 32 inch LCD TV bought Nov 2008

Truly dreadful phone in on DSO on Radio Berkshire this morning: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/p00n6q28 From 9am (2 hours in) when Andrew Peach tells us all repeatedly that Hannington is being switched off next week which confuses the first caller. People were contacting him and he corrects himself later in the programme. The lady from Digital UK - Samira Bashir is garbled, confusing...

In article , says... In message , Paul D Smith wrote I don't quite understand why it should need a better signal to synchronise that for normal operation. You don't. It's just that when synchronising, you can see it hasn't got a signal. At other times...

I have two Panasonic HDD/DVD recorders and consequently 2 remote controls. The recorders have slightly different model numbers but I don't think that matters much. One of the remote controls has stopped giving useful signals to either box, but the other works perfectly well with both boxes, which behave exactly as normal. The remote that doesn't work properly is acknowledged by both boxes...

This is OT but perhaps someone can advise. I have a Samsung DVD reorder with a hard drive, DVD and memory stick inputs/outputs. I have a video DIV X format on a memory stick. I can copy it onto the SAMSUNG hard drive and play it OK or play it directly from the memory stick. However I cannot copy it to a DVD either from the memory stick or from the hard drive. After the copy has been...

The other day while channel hopping I noticed that Dave was silent, sloppy I thought, I've just hopped past PickTV, Really and Dave and they're *all* playing out silent! Given that I've just installed a new HDMI amp, I thought it might be that having an issue, so se th TV back to playing sound through inbuilt speakers rather than the amp just to check ... still silence on those three...

In preparation for the analogue switchoff in April we've invested in a Humax Foxsat HDR (500GB ), and have already taken over the Sky dish with a 2nd feed. Until we get round to (soon!) replacing the Sony KV-28FX68U, however, we've struck a couple of annoyances: (1) Trying to map the TV's commands onto the Humax remote, less than half of the 3-digit codes given in the Humax manual would...

The last advert before Deal or No Deal yesterday flagged up my AV Amp had changed to Dolby from its normal ProLogic. Regards David

A new service identifying itself as Racing UK has appeared at LCN 116 on the Arqiva B mux UHF channel 48 on Sandy Heath. Just a blank screen at the moment and the EPG says no info available. Could it be this lot? http://www.racinguk.com/ -- Ken O'Meara http://www.btinternet.com/~unsteadyken/

Hi all, got an old Sony Freeview set-top box. What is the code for accessing the re-tune menu? tried 0000, 1111 etc. TIA

Hi, Hope this doesn't wind people up but I am selling off some IPTV equipment on Ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120848327640?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 They are easy to use. You can easily provide a Multicast stream from a Linux or Windows machine. Linux use dvblast, windows use vlc. Regards,

Can anyone recommend a small 12V monitor/TV? I have a Nokia 5800 phone which has SatNav built in, and very useful it is too - but the screen is a little small. Now phone also has a TV out and with a good monitor the picture is pretty good so I thought "install a small TV/monitor in the car and use that for the screen of the SatNav". Problem is what would be a good model? It should be...

I've just put in a new DVB-T2 card in my HTPC, replacing the old -T card. Win 7 Media center cheerfully did a full scan finding everything including the HD mux, but seemed to be getting confused along the way. As it found each mux, the channel count shot up too far, before reducing itself to the correct number. When it was all done I fired up the excellent Guide...

There was a recent discussion in this very newsgroup about bats and cats. Here is a animated GIF which demonstrates that cats do indeed catch bats. http://begoodnotbad.COM/bucket/catcatchesbat.gif

Since the great innovation of being able to actually use the epg on my talking goodmans box, I have recently encountered some funny goings on. The question is, is this a normal feature or a problem... Basically, if you choose to view the epg, you can move through the stations with the arrow keys and through the times with the other directions. However sometimes, if a proggy has no...

So I have a nice shiny new flat screen TV, and I want to get a HD subscription (well I say I want to... I would prefer to get it for free, but freeview HD isn't much cop, and so I think I need to let the flies out of the wallet for once!) In my local shopping centre there was a Virgin Media sales stand thing, and they reckoned that Virign was by far the best option for HD sports, but they, they...

Here in the Surrey Hills we are trying to get ready for the analogue switchoff next month. For the kitchen TV I've been trying a Freeview digital box (Labgear FV300), but - as with my old Goodman box - it had a hard time pulling many channels in, and any it did were not good enough to use. The $64 question is: On what date is our Freeview signal likely to be boosted? (We are between...

Have just retuned one of the TVs in the house and the channels on the EPG are now in the wrong order - C4 is in position 1. The BBc channels are further down the list but showing no programme info in the EPG. I've tried a factory reset and get the same results. Is anyone else having similar problems on Sandy Heath at the moment?
