No change here. I will have a look at the Post Code predictor.

and Virgin cable

Is that the sort that had been stroked by virgins in the moonlight before being cyrogenically frozen and passed under magnets to improve its "soundstage" ?

Possible need to get out more: detected.



Status update:
Grocer's apostrophe: detected, annihilation beam activated.

I want to "LIKE " that, but I'm not sure if what you are describing is actually legal, so I won't !!


I refer our well versed friend Gordon to this old English folk song.

I Digress i know from BBC 4. thought it might be worth pointing out to Friends/Colleagues on the forum that having picked up my Radio Times Christmas edition earlier, I see Radio 3 are replaying a lot of this years Proms, including that unforgettable ring cycle for two weeks over the festive period

Ah, I have had a response:

The new multiplex from Crystal Palace transmitter is on lower power than the other multiplexes.

Try a manual tune on UHF channel 33 (570MHz), setting the mode to DVB-T2 rather than DVB-T, if there is such a setting. Having entered the channel number/frequency, wait and see if it gives any indication of strength and quality.

.

Not bothered with television at the moment. Might try tomorrow night, then maybe I can get Friday's concerto broadcast via HD, though I think the original in standard definition.

SKY getting desperate?

just had them phone up and offer 12 months any package at 75% discount, discontinue any time with 30 days notice, and including skygo.


Took the offer up.

Hope skyarts has perked up a bit !!

As they are on my Virgin cable box.

Oh, Whoppee!
Am I the only one here with an old fashioned telly that has valves and other stuff and who prefers to be fashionably Retro and not have this HD nonsense on 54" plasmas?

Actually, my sitting room is only 12' x 15' (gosh, how the poor live!) so 54" of HD would have me cowering in the doorway, too frightened to enter

I honestly cannot see what all you geeks are getting excited about. It's all repeats over Christmas or a typically lame Downton Abbey. The only thing I am excited about is the new Sherlock on NY day, and I'll miss it, being in deepest Lancs, where By 'Eck Gladys, that Sherlock, well I'll go to foot of my stairs if he ain't, him and Watson, a reet pair of ..... Well, you get the drift! Basically, I embrace non-technology!

no 54" plasma for us either Anna. 20" 2nd hand flat screen and a 10 year old sky box, which I can't record on, set with my "smartphone" or anything. Not even sure if my phone IS smart.
I DO have a great long cable that I can plug into the stereo to pump up the volume for proms and such like, but thats about it.

Although my VHS is still runnning good, AND getting the odd run out.

I think we should do a " films you love at Xmas thread".

I'm with you all the way on simple technology.
