Copper cable? COPPER?

Copper's a luxury. We've got aluminium.

1) I use Freeview and Freesat. I'm sure many do. Why does your venn diagram say we don't exist?

2) In all these stats where does Freesat-from-Sky fit in? I use that as well!


Presumably my experience of losing Sat when the dish fill with snow, or in very heavy weather, is standard? So we need a backup.

What if satellite is knocked out - by faults, asteroids, solar activity, something we didn;t think of ?

Are there several physical satellites for each service?

1) Is it better now?

2) Did you wobble all connections and powercycle?

Alvin you say

"@ Michael : Well look at it this way, there were no riots when DAB superseded the FM waveband or when AM & SW wave bands became defunct, so why would there be a riot over DAB + ruling king if it was for the greater good of society? ""

But the events you cite have not happened. FM AM SW all still going strong.

If they try to CLOSE these services in favoutr of the tnferior DAB; THEN there will be riots.

By all means have DAB for any that want it.

Paul Sounds like interference - radio or possibly power supply.

what sort of bulb do you have in your bathroom? Try a new conventional one.

Try a different toaster nd your toaster in a different plug.

Too many FM radios ditto - especially as most of them are integrated into other kit.

AJ Rich - you have not been cheated. It is only recently that those in charge set the standard for HDTV.

You need to think of your TV as being 2 things in one box

1) A display system of a specified quality - like your computer monitor

2) One or more tuners; (things that SELECT a channel and CONVERT it to a format your monitor can show) typically from
a)Analogue TV
b)Digital SD Terrestrial TV - FREEVIEW
c) Ditto HD - FREEVIEW HD
d)Satellite TV - FREESAT
e)Internet TV

oops - forgot to say that all those tuners can be internal or external feeding into your monitor with SCART; HDMI; YPrPg; or other connections.

Obviously a lot of TVs are now ONLY monitors as they had only analogue.
