How easy is it to increase the size of the hard disc? I guess any warranty will be void in doing so. Are the HDs readable in a PC, do they have any recognisable file system?

The Lidl Comag reciever seems not to be able handle w/s switching on the BBC channels, am I alone in this? -- Regards, David Please reply to News Group.

I understand that Sagem are re-transmitting the lastest software update today (3 May) until tomorrow morning at 9am. Just incase you have one of these great little receivers that isn't up to date. Regards

Just found out about this today, and thought it might be of interest to some here who might do the odd spot of mains electrical cabling work etc. http://www.iee.org/cablecolours Basically, the colours of fixed cables (not appliance flex for your TV or kettle) are changing to harmonize with Europe, and they're changing to match the colours we've had in flex for 30 odd years. So instead of Red,...

I want them set up so that I can record either from the TV or Sky, & I want to be able to use the DVD player by simply putting it on if possible. So far I've managed to get the TV working & Sky to display if I view it on another channel. I...

HI All I posted here a couple of months ago about the possibility of getting Freeview out here on the Suffolk coast - thanks to everybody who responded with advice / suggestions etc. So... after a long wait g... I finally picked up a STB (Sagem) and Unix wideband aerial - and connected everything up. Didn't spend a fortune - on the grounds that it was an experiment, rather than a final...

Has anyone had any luck getting PVAStrumento to work reliably processing Nebula recordings? I am currently using 2.1r7 with "relaxed video PTS checks" checked, but the audio handling seems not to work - it sounds like small chunks of audio are repeated, creating an intermittent stutter/echo effect. My recordings may be towards the more error-prone end of the spectrum, but that's what this app...

Last night the machine crashed and now despite being unplugged and plugged in again, just shows me the letters "Inct" as it does when it first boots up. Has anyone suffered this before and if so do you know how to fix it? thks I never did get the problems with occasional picture freezing sorted out

Making sites is not my forte, so please excuse the state of it.

Just looking in the TV listings (Digiguide) and TVTS still have programmes - I thought they shut down!

Hi, I have one of the Thomson DVT1100 freeview/DVD boxes and ever since downloading a software upgrade about a fornight ago and resetting the box it seems to have just hung. There is no picture on the screen whatsoever, I am unable to eject the DVD tray but all the lights still come on on the front display! Has anyone else suffered this kind of problem or found a workaround? Tried disconnecting...

Hi, A friend of mine told me that Cheers Season 1 was out on DVD. Can anyione tell me if the DVD in the following link is a bootleg or is this the actual Cheers store bought collection? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4185350925&category=617 &sspagename=STRK%3AMESSE%3AIT&rd=1 Thanks.

Is there a sky+ optino for ntl either currently available or proposed?

Hi, My father has just bought a new TV and realised how bad the analogue reception at his house is. I lent him my old Pioneer OnDigital box to let him see what the quality of Freeview is like (not the channel content, obviously :) ) He now wants to get his own Freeview box. What would be the best box to get for the money? The ones that he saw in the shops ranged in price from £50-£100. Do any of...

Well I ordered one of these today from 24/7 at £144 incl P+P. I was going to go for Sky+ with the £20 quid a month sub until I found out that they wanted another £10 a month to switch on the record facility ! I went with the Hummy over the Pace twin for price and the fact that I owned a Humax 5400 sat receiver for years and it was a great piece of kit. Are there any other advantages or...

http://media.guardian.co.uk/broadcast/story/0,7493,1204103,00.html Good idea IMO. -- Steve - www.digitalradiotech.co.uk - Digital Radio News & Info DAB sounds worse than FM, Freeview, digital satellite, cable and broadband internet radio

http://www.dtg.org.uk/news/uknews/-govt_bids.htm The report thinks the advertising could cost £100M alone, at least that should help ITV along! The problem is will this contain any money towards setting up a FTA DSAT system, and resolving the rights issues so that ITV, CH4 and Five can broadcast FTA on satellite. For many people at the moment the only choice if they want to go digital is to...

Anyone got BAD experiences with either of these? I'm considering getting a Humax 8000T, and these sites only differ in price by 1p (although QED say 2yr warranty, and 24-7 say 1yr).

No one seems to know why Panasonic have sent out a recent update for the TU-CT20. Does anyone on here on any idea what the update is for, and why they are offering this update? It it to do with topup?? Tez
