PC running Linux and a recent VGA card, you can emit a real digital TV signal in the VHF band to your DVB-T set-top box http://bellard.org/dvbt/ Brilliant!! -- http://www.madge.tk/

Remember the Post Office tv detector vans? They could apparently not only tell if an unlicensed tv set was on the premises, but also which part of which room it was in.... Tv sets do put out an rf signal when in use which could in theory be detected but it must be very weak. Also if I remember my lessons you had to use triangulation to get an accurate fix on a signal so to get the actual...

Can you still get set top Freeview boxes with a timer function that allows recordings to be made (using a VCR) when you are out? I have a friend who is in need of one but we cannot find one with that facility. The best we have found is one that reminds you your program is about to start. -- Tinkerer

I followed a discussion thread on here about flashing with a Telsky firmware. I did this and I can scan and get channels but they are from 2201 upwards. I need help with one of two things, either: 1. Is it possible to dump the channel list, manually edit and then re- upload OR 2. reimage with the latest Ross firmware.

Hi Everyone, My Logik PVR has given up the ghost (corrupted hard drive I think) and I'm looking around for a new system, does anyone have any recommendations? I am quite interested in the Humax 9300T but am wary of Humax's poor reputation for customer support especially as their systems quite hit-or-miss as to whether you recieve a dud machine (judging by feedback on Amazon and Which). I'm...

iPlayer is on my Freesat but not on my Freeview. What's the reason, if any, for this? TIA John the West Ham fan

Hi All, Does anyone know of a fix for the Hotbird 6,8,9 problem with this Rx. Ross know it's a problem but can give me no idea as to when they might release a bugfix. Mine freezes during scan of Hotbird - totally freezes, power off at wall job! It froze at 32/97 so I deleted 32. This allowed to run to 99/127 before freezing.

We've been watching George and Mildred on ITV3: a programme made during a time when ITV 'did' comedy. Just wondering what the strobing cue dot that appears at the top left of the screen is for. I appreciate the one at the top right indicates an ad break is on the way, but about half way through each of the two parts of the programme a similar cue dot appears at the top left of the screen for a...

Bought a pair of Comtrend homeplugs and they work OK with Freesat BBC iPlayer. On Freeview I have a Panasonic DMR BW780 and Viera Cast works but with NO sound. Will or is there BBC iPlayer on Freeview, if so where is it? Any help on these matters - TIA. John the West Ham fan

I know nothing so am prepared for possible ridicule! My wife is convinced and I can see what she means, that the definition of the picture occasionally seems to have improved immeasurably over recent times, seemingly having real depth. Has the introduction of HD equipment into the studios or network had any effect on the quality of non-HD transmissions or is it just wishful thinking? For the...

I've got a Vision HD satellite 'free to air' STB. Works ok on BBC, ITV and NHK HD transmissions. I also got the two CH4 HD test transmissions, which now show as subscription ones London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.

"The 1.5Gb download and 150Mb upload service will use the same infrastructure and technology as Virgin Media currently uses. Virgin said that, if successful, this will be the world's fastest cable connection and more than 240 times faster than the national average broadband. Similar technology tests have already proven the capability of cable to deliver download speeds of...

Steadily getting there, capacity increases as prices fall, I wonder if in another five years will be looking back on mechanical hard drives (cheap and excellent as modern ones are) as a bit of a dinosaur era? http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9215089/Intel_doubles_capacity_drops_price_in_refresh_of_popular_SSD_line

I have a let which has a new Sony HD TV. It can find the HD channels but when I switch to those channels, all I get is a blank screen. Is this likley to be an aerial problem? Thanks Jonathan

Could anyone help with a question about the quality of aerial cables? I'm in Doncaster using the Emley Moor transmitter and some of the Freeview channels are only showing a signal strength of about 60% on my Topfield Freeview box, and frequently suffer picture breakups. I can understand that oxygen free copper audio cables make a difference to the quality of an audio interconnect cable, but is...

In a computer operating system or application there are many ways of doing a basic function. Say cut'n'paste. Ye can either do that with a myriad of keyboard shortcut keys, or by rightclicking things and choosing from context menus, or finding things on the application / windows menu. Ye do what suits ye best, but so much choice. Overwhelming to the beginner, my Mother still hasn't mastered...
