I checked out my location on the croft as I thought the huge chunk of copper on Holy Trinity roof might well have a bearing on any signal from Emley. Not the case, from my house I have a line of sight (signal wise), which is effectively as near as makes no difference straight down Kelbrook Road and...

If anyone needs a great big ariel I have put one on freecycle this afternoon. Assuming its the loft TV antennae in the BB18 area (since aerial is misspelt the same way ;) ) its no good for DAB. I doubt any DAB aerial would do me any good for Emley Moor, being tucked under Weets the way I am. Its ge...

Had to scrape the ice off the windscreen at 6 this morning. Was nice to drive to the office in dasylight though. That'll all change at the weekend...

Like Tiz I have a house full of radios, including a very expensive Sony portable that I bought when I was globe-trotting, picks up virtually everything. Have a look at this LINK Question is will it be useless if UK analogue signal is switched off? Should I sell it now? It will be useless once the F...

I thought the set up I have was quite reasonably priced. I traded in my old Yamaha pro logic amp and speaker system, against the yamaha crx550 I know it sounds like a motorcycle), and parted with £120. I already had a pair of Goodmans Maxim 3 bookshelf speakers and an Eltax Planos active sub, from a...

The question is, is DAB any good. I've heard many people say its not that brilliant - fm is just as good. But I'm not sure whether its worth purchasing a DAB radio, yet. I am very pleased with the quality. A like for like comparison (Radio 2 FM against Radio 2 DAB) gives me a "crisper" so...

Does this help?

What type of antenna did you end up with Kev? Did you go for a small directional or just an omnidirectional? Having said that, just realised that you said presume from Emley Moor, in which case it must be an omni or you would know which way you pointed it :smile: 'tis indeed an omni, Ian. http://ww...

We had a "Digital Switchover" topic on ,the old site, in which I mentioned installing an external aerial for DAB. For those interested I installed it today, I now have all the BBC DAB Channels, along with many others I've yet to listen to. As an example I am getting BBC Radio 2 with a bitr...

For cleaning out your pipe?

Why would a Head Teacher listen to someone who knows what they're talking about?

Thanks for that Plugs. I suspected the external HD would be the answer. Further question: Would the file system my machine produces be readable by an Apple machine? I suspect Daniel will be on Apple. As for Orange and speed, I've waited this long I shall sit here and see whether May 31st is Der Tag...

Is it wadding to pack around a shaft of some sort?

Pendle Projects posted a letter through the door today. There's an open day, at the Civic Hall, on March 12th to discuss the proposed Aldi store on the gasworks site.

I did an internet connection speed test on the Talk Talk website. Next day I received a call from their rep offering to discuss my phone and internet requirement. I hung up. Got another call next day, and it seems that by doing the test, I agreed to give them my number, and to be called. This overi...

So would I. A can opener.

My wife proposed to me 32 years ago today. I had nothing else planned at the time so, 14 months later, I took her up on the offer.

It's very rewarding to have it sat on your hand. I went for a "flying day" at the Birds of Prey centre. My favorite was Gonzo the vulture, It's quite something to have him flying towards you and then land on your arm...

I'm lucky in that I am not hampered by 6mps as I don't do big data transfers so my system works. As far as Orange are concerned we are pawns in a commercial world. Same applies to all the other providers. Hunker down and endure! Tiz raised another matter on another thread. Can you remember me havin...
