Just taken delivery of Sky+ and am already very impressed. I have a query though that I hope someone might help me with. I have a standard 28" Sony TB and have set the display options to 4:3. On some channels I have noticed that the left hand side of the screen is slightly shot-off. It is most noticeable on Sky Sports News where the text information on the bottom of the screen is missing the...

I have just been checking out my new Pace Freeview receiver model DT210F, it has twin SCART's phono and digital audio outputs, RF loop-through and modulator, is wafer-thin and so far has been performing like a dream... if it's reliable I think that Pace is on to real winner!

I was talking to the farmer this morning as he put out an electric fence. He was telling me that he has to recharge the battery every week, and I said that didn't seem much life, what sort of battery did he use? Just normal car batteries, he said. Since electric fences use very little power I thought it seemed odd, then he said that of course the batteries were all scrap ones from the local auto...

So I get this DVD player from Amazon, and I plug it in, and I get this DVD from Blackstar (The Vampire Lovers based on Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu) and bung it in, and the pic has a pink hue..the sexy vampires are kinda pink!..purty, but pink!, :-( so I consult the newsgroups (Google Groups), and I find it's a common problem, and one chap says it could be scart pin (prong was license!) #15 (or...

Hi. I have had some posts on here recently, talking about my bad reception and my wish to sort it out, the problem being I'm in short term rented accamodation and can only put whatever solution we decide on, in the loft. After many great responses, for which I thank you all, I find that I am still quite confused. I don't mind spending a bit of money, but because my time here is short term only,...

Hi Ive just got my Wintv nova-t USB working after fiddling around for a week. Ive done an all channel/region search but cant seem to get channel 5. Does anybody have any idea how I can get it? I live in Wrexham area and think we are covered by 3 transmitter areas, Winter Hill, The Wrekin and Moel-Y-Parc (not so sure about this have trouble getting HTV & S4C). All other freeview channels come...

I have an old 19" Zenith (model SC1327W) I purchased about 18 years ago, and have decided that it is time to get a new set. I've read the pros and cons of various features and formats and wanted to get real world opinions on several things. The kind of things that only users(not the manufacturers) will truthfully tell you. 1) Is there really a big difference in picture quality between a flat and...

I was in a large chain store today where someone was returning something faulty after a couple of months use.The item had broken down and the customer was told that the store was only liable for the first 28 days and the customer would have to deal with the manufacturer of the product himself. I've always taken faulty goods back to the shop and got them to sort it out, either by giving a...

Friend gave me drum of cable accidentally left by the sky man, its made by cable and wireless, labelled digital/satellite, BS EN 50117 H109F Its white, bit stiff, solid inner, air spaced dielectric followed by a thin foilish copper screen, then the normal braid. Is this the right stuff to be using for wiring up my tv aerials and the like? Is it similar to the `holy` CT100 ? Dave

Hi group, My TV reception is actually too good at the moment, so I'm receiving signal from nearby transmitters in addition to Crystal Palace (my intended source). The unwanted frequencies are disrupting other UHF channels in the system which are being used. I've done my best to manage the UHF channels (using taboo.exe, in particular), but now I want to try to remove the unwanted signal from the...

A few months ago I had a new aerial installed. I now have a cracking picture on both analogue and digital. I got the installation engineer to run the cable through the loft, so that I could install a distribution box for other tvs in the house. However, I remember at the time, that the guy recommended not putting anything (connectors, wallplates etc) in between the aerial and the set top box....

Is it possilbe to run 2 simultaneously? I am thinking, maybe you could use one to record a programme whilst using the other one to watch different channels?

Hello people. Just clutching at straws for a solution really. I picked up the Hauppauge WinTV PCR-PCI card recently and am quite impressed with it. However, when I record MPEG2 files to hard drive, there's this little silly square of 9 smaller squares that flutters across the screen randomly. It doesn't happen when I record to MPEG1 files.

Hello all, My Sony KD32NX200 idtv has the following update versions Version r1.04 Loader v1.01 I notice from other posts that there seems to be various different versions dependant on model, age etc ? Is there a guide to advise which update version I should

once recorded can you watch the programme as many times as you like? thanks Daniel

Roll up! Roll up! The webmistress has recently doubled the size of our Rogues' Gallery. It's mad, it's bad, and it's really rather sad, but all these pictures were taken this year and they all show diabolical aerial and dish installations that someone has paid good money for. Invaluable for those contemplating a visit by the local installer - at least you'll know what to look out for.
