We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Graham." saying something like: Are you saying that the blacks can no longer be lifted above the tube cut-off threshold? I suppose so. Setting up with, for example, Quickgamma, the brightness is only just enough at 100% to match the requirements. For most of its life...

I decided after many months of vacillating to go HD. I ordered a Sky HD box and bought a Sony EDL-37EX503. While waiting for the Sky HD box to arrive, I have connected my old Sky and Sky+ boxes to the new set via Scart. I cannot find any combination of settings that will implement automatic aspect ratio switching when watching either of the Sky boxes. It worked perfectly with my old Toshiba...

The happens over time too, as mother's eyesight deteriorates (AMD) she has increasing difficulty distinguishing blues and greens and in poor light has difficulty seeing red at all.

You know I'm surprised the nutter brigade have not gone on the BBC sites and complained about the dream sequence suicide of a pregnant woman by now, they must be slipping!

Would a dvd recorder bought in Australia work in the UK? Thanks

ITV1 Overboard 4pm. On 119 HD it was a 4x3 ratio picture and on 103 was w/s 16x9. Regards David

Today I installed two Vision 76 element aerials, vertically polarized, side by side and about a metre apart. I needed the extra directivity this gives, but I was also interested in the gain. Vision sells a 'combiner/balun' as part of their stacked log periodic kit. This contains nothing but PCB tracks commoning the two inputs and the output, so whether it has any function as a matcher I don't...

We have a Humax 9200T. It's been very sluggish lately responding to the remote control (sometimes taking half a minute before it does what it's asked to do). It is not the control that is at fault since it behaves the same using another control. We have restored it to the default setting and disconnected it from the mains and disconnected the aerial for a couple fo minutes. Also the clock...

So a mate has asked me to find out for him about tv aerials. He lives inMottram near Hyde in Cheshire and get pictures from the Winter Hill Transmitter. Am I right in suggesting a group c/d aerial to him. The Granada region is now all digital. Cheers --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: ---

Last evening one of the HD channels on Astra 1, ANIXE, showed a tennis championship in 3D. The 3D transmission presented itself on my screen as two side by side pictures.

The sound on C5 analogue from Waltham has been very quiet today; so much so that it is necessary to turn the TV's volume control right up in order to bring it to a reasonable level. Bill

FWIW - and further to the threads started by Dickie Mint and Paul D Smith - I had from Humax by e-mail earlier today "a new release of the BETA software for your PVR, this release includes changes to the EPG population when the product is recording from standby". It is numbered incrementally: PVR9200T_apps_1.00.23_release.hdf -- Robin PM may be sent to rbw0{at}hotmail{dot}com

Have got my hands on a Panasonic TH-42PWD6 42" Plasma display. this has a TY-42TM6Y input card in slots 1 & 2, leaving 3 unpopulated. The card has CVBS, S-Video and RGB video inputs. I want to connect a Humax PVR, DSAT STB and DVD player to it. The Humax can do all three formats, selectable on the menu. The DSAT STB and DVD do either CVBS or RGB. I had assumed, wrongly I think, that as it...

More news on the Humax Facebook page. Evidently there's a new beta out and they want testers: here : http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=118862310932&topic=14017 I quote: Humax UK For all owners of the PVR-9200T, PVR-9150T and PVR-9300T models.

One for Bill - to comment on & to possibly work on! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/7710358/Prisoner-complains-TV-channels-are-too-low-brow.html -- Cheers Peter
