"Bill Wright" wrote in message ... A really cold day here in Yorkshire. Everyone is turning their heating up I suppose. I've been for a little ride around S Yorks and N Notts this afternoon, and to my dismay the wind turbines appear to be out of order on this day of very high demand. They are all either turning very slowly or not at...

Yes, I'm sure we're on Hannington. The aerial points that way, and I've even checked the mux frequencies. And yet the dates match Crystal Palace! Andy

J G Miller's thread has been hijacked with politics, but *personally* I wouldn't object to paying a modest fee for a podcast of "quality" archive material like some of the recent Dickens serialisations. Maybe £1 for an hour? When I'm sitting at the PC I am normally working, so don't want to listen to a play it again and it's a PITA to record stuff to put on the MP3 player for listening to...

Well at least that is what it seems to be. Last night on E4 and their plus 1 thee info on the show currently showing was always the previous one, at least it was on my box. Sometimes also, the program guide info said no info available. another Freeview thing which seems to be happening more often on all channels on all sorts of different hardware, so one assumes its the fault of the...

I just saw a new advert - or at least I hadn't seen it before - on the BBC promoting the DSO help scheme for the elderly. The ad had a song playing in the background: "Everybody's Talking at Me." The next line after the title is "I don't hear a word they say". I thought how appropriate those two lines were for a "public service" announcement that many are likely to ignore. I don't suppose...

I've just upgraded from a non-HDMI AV amp to an HDMI one, the main input is my mythTV PC via HDMI (still using audio over SPDIF temporarily) ... it's nice to have switching on the TV automatically power up the amp too, and the TV's remote control the amp's volume and input selection. I have the amp's surround mode set to "auto". When watching a normal programme (i.e. not a film) the amp...

TStoDVD was a great little tool (OK, batch job running a number of tools) and I've used it periodically to archive off bits from my 8200. But the new HD Humax PVRs use a different TS file format, even for SD content, and TStoDVD won't handle this. So, anyone know of an equivalent? It would be of interest if I could also create BluRay images but simple SD/DVD is fine for now. Thanks, Paul...

(See previous post on 07/01 for background) Only the last 3 minutes were recorded last night. Monday - Thursday programmes were fine. What is it about the Friday GBRJ that the BBC or the Hummy doesn't like? Other Friday progs on series link also recorded without problem. It will be interesting to see what happens next Friday. --

This is not just an HDMI cable. This is a Marks and Spencer HDMI cable. http://www.marksandspencer.com/Monster-Cable-1200EX-Ultimate-High-Speed/dp/B004506UR8?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_3&nodeId=42966030&sr=1-3&qid=1325763668&pf_rd_r=1S5FS6QSYA1YKGYD927J&pf_rd_m=A2BO0OYVBKIQJM&pf_rd_t=301&pf_rd_i=0&pf_rd_p=215485807&pf_rd_s=center-3

Has anybody tried one of these yet? It's for pole mounting a MK4 dish. I'm having a few "fitment" issues and according to Blake I'm the only one. Just wondered if there is anyone else who's tried these!

Are we now seeing the end of the end of SONY in the TV consumer market? From http://www.digitaltrends.COM/home-theater/sony-abandons-oled-tv-for-the-consumer-market/ QUOTE Sony abandons OLED TV for the consumer market

It appears in someone's infinite wisdom that the designers of the Freeview box decided to split the audio output from the box in such a way that the 3.5 jack and Scart audio outs are different. This in effect gives the box an added 'feature' I don't want. So if you plug in a dvd in the back, it will switch the audio and video off from the box to the tv scart when the dvd plays, but the jack...

My uncle is involved with a local initiative to persuade people to consider the welfare of those who are lonely. We’ve discussed this quite a lot, and then something happened today that brought the problem home to me even more. A very apologetic housing manager rung at lunchtime to ask if we could possibly go out to one of the estates. He had only one complainant, but ‘he seems...

Not recorded tonight (Humax 9200T) although on series link. No problem recording all other nights this week, and still in the recording schedule for next week. Midhurst transmitter. Hummy or BBC problem? -- Jeff

Anyone tried this yet? I noticed it come up on the guide the other day - 907 on my Humax - it seems to be only available on Humax at the moment. -- David Kennedy http://www.anindianinexile.com

Radio 3 on a Sony dab radio is 'consistantly' of very low volume compared with all other radio stations that I receive. It's weak even when the 'signal strength' is fine. It's in the NW London, finchley central/mill hill area. Anything that I can do about this would you say?

Right now I'm using an old Humax 9200T which feeds me with Freeview which as a rule is OK, all i watch on it are the usual BBC 1 & 2 ITV 1, 2, 3 & 4, Ch4 & Ch5 as well as the +1 on these sometimes and Quest that's about it as a rule I was thinking of moving to Freesat (not Sky) as this seems to offer me more +1 options, you see I'm very sad I like to program the PVR for the whole week with...
