      SCRIDs

      I'm with EEPhil on this one. With the switch of local news to HD, I figured i would try recording the HD version. Up to now I have been recording the national news on HD, then the local news of SD, then the one Show on HD, all using padding. Tried changing to record the local news with HD, using...

      When I worked at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory a colleague was doing similar things with a laser to cool helium to very cold temperatures. It was part of working towards quantum cryptography capability for satellite communication IIRC.

      Humax HDR-FOX T2 500GB V Humax HDR-FOX T2 1TB

      I found that the Humax wifi setup is less than useful, I ended up using one of these. Never had a problem since, but they have roughly doubled in price since I got mine.

      Also rather endangered, and, in the wild, are only to be found on Stewart island, New Zealand. a bird of nocturnal habits and very shy, rather like a Kiwi. Haven't heard one myself, but understand they 'boom' (a bit like a Bittern does) to communicate. Some videos about the Kakapo ... and...

      No HD channels in SW France?

      I had occaision to visit the Kourou launch site as a result of work I was doing, and wandering around the township the dishes were pointing more or less straight up, maybe +/-5 degrees in the NS direction.

      Today's 3pm emergency alert

      I am (now, due to merger, previously with SSE) with OVO, who expect us to read gas and electric meters every month. They are also now sending us letters saying the calibration of our electric meter is about to run out. I suspect that they will insist on replacing it with a smart meter, which we...

      Today's 3pm emergency alert

      Just wait until some terrorist organisation sets up a heap of explosives triggered by a alert on a phone. They could take weeks setting up things in advance of another test alert, only to have a heap of infrastructure taken out at once - and they didn't even need to send a message to trigger it.

      Random Recordings!

      Sorry, yes this is a feature on the HDR-Fox-T2 CF, where conflicting recordings can be identified on the RS and WebIF.

      Random Recordings!

      I get frustrated with this too, especially when I am trying to set the programmes up so they don't clash/overlap but it insists on recording the first available instance of an episode, sometimes resulting in the pink bars appearing and repeated emails about impending recording clashes.

      I believe he has succumbed to 'the inevitable' some time ago after people kept 'mispronouncing' it after Dianas death. Still, the Americans are as bad, try asking them why they don't rhyme Arkansas with Kansas, and insist on pronouncing 'solder' as sodder' ...

      Network keeps disconnecting

      do you have an app on your PC or phone where you can check wifi signal strength? I have a similar problem with my PC, and it seems neighbours come on at critical times and their wifi signal manages to swamp mine. I'm going to have to complain to Virgin about how rubbish their router is anyway as...

      PA Question

      There were all sorts of tricks to 'increase' the claimed power rating of stereo amplifiers. Run one channel at a time. Do a tone burst so the power is being measured before the power supply droops. 1kHz is also the normal frequency at which such figures are measured. as a side note, I...

      USBC cables and chargers

      I bought my Samsung off Amazon some years ago. It meant I got an unlocked phone so was then free to choose what providers SIM I put in it. It also happened to come with two SIM slots which allows me to have a travelling SIM local to country of destination when away.

      PA Question

      More likely for using a wall bracket, so you have one screw at the top, and one at the bottom, with a U-shaped bar screwed to the wall. If ceiling mounting it only one screw would be used and the speaker would have been turned upside down, if only one mounting had been provided on the speaker.

      What size stick? Not all makes of stick work, and it needs to be a reasonably small one. Anything larger than 32GB won't work because it uses a different file format.
