  I have a £1 from 1965, must dig it out. I've moved around a lot since then. A family member won £500 and £25 yesterday.

  One good thing about iPlayer is you can invariably watch a whole series even when some episodes from a current series haven't been broadcast.

  I notice that the African Nations football is being shown on this channel tonight. Strange decision for a channel purported to target 16-24 year olds. At least it's available in HD in our area (Caldbeck), which is more than can be said for BBC4 & Quest.

  We had surround until we moved but found no room for 5.1 hence the compromise 3.0 system. The Onkyo TX-SR608 amp has a myriad of settings to cater for film or speech, but we find the Theatre-Dimensional setting covers our needs and gives surprisingly good effects without the need for a subwoofer.

  Looked this morning, shows PCM on the amp. Changing the Firestick output from 'best available' to Dolby Digital results in no sound (probably my equipment as advised on the 'stick). Music soundtrack quality sounds adequate to me, and the dialogue enhancer works, although I do use subtitles.

  I don't have a 4K TV either but the picture is definitely better. I'll check the sound out when I next use it. I don't use 5.1 but have have a l,r and centre speaker setup.

  Re BBC3, more junk and to think they cut the HD mux for BBC4 in our region years ago. Too many surplus stations and that goes for BBC radio too. Our region has just been levelled up for DAB, more junk stations have been added to the pitiful few we had before. Sound quality is poor also. Not...

  We've been watching iPlayer on the Amazon firestick 4k and it gives a much superior picture although the iPlayer on the TV is pretty good. Haven't watched iPlayer on the T2 for ages, so slow anyway.

  Can't believe that a forum with so many members, so few are able to pass on season's greetings to those who have taken the time to answer the many questions posed this year. It's bah humbug time for me I'm afraid. 🙄

  If you're posting for 7 days, begin late Saturday or early Sunday for maximum views. I've done well shifting surplus items as I've got older.
