    Blank BBC Red Button Channel 250

    So I am not alone in using this as my standard start up channel to avoid spoilers and to wait for me to choose what channel or recording I actually want to watch. :) I have noticed too that it occasionally stays blank or takes a long time for its banner to display. Switching away from then...

    I have heard of something like that but I think it was baseball.

    You can still sync the pictures and sound using modern technology. Actually DAB radio is about two seconds ahead of satellite TV which is ideal for following the cricket. looking up from the crossword as you hear the ball being bowled. Otherwise chase-play TMS on BBC Sounds and the pictures on...

    Curiously, TMS commentators are unique in describing the delivery, the shot and the result of each ball bowled. Something other cricket commentators on the radio neglect to do. These others often do not even make it clear a wicket has fallen!

    What max current will the rear USB actually supply 5V at?

    Not really. I have seen someone from the OED say that it is a faux distinction propounded by language snobs. Or was it something I heard Susie Dent say on the radio?

    What max current will the rear USB actually supply 5V at?

    Not to be confused with the G7 chord. :D

    What max current will the rear USB actually supply 5V at?

    Not necessarily pointless in a TV set up where you are actually only streaming/watching from one device at a time.

    What max current will the rear USB actually supply 5V at?

    So many problems I have seen reported down the years with wireless/powerline connectivity with TV equipment. Wired ethernet all the way for me. Most recently by adding an ethernet to USB adapter to my Chromecast dongle plugged into the switch along with all my other TV boxes. Previously had...

    For the OP I would suggest offering to give their dad a fiver a month which should be plenty cover the increased electricity usage. In fact it would likely not cost that much over a year or several. Edit: From the AI summary of an online search A 7.5W appliance running for a year in the UK...
