      Media mistakes

      Technically it needs to be a lower case k, as an upper case is for temperature in Kelvin. I can never remember if it is k for 1000, and ki for 1024 or the other way around (I think I have it correct as k is normally 1000), but when it gets to Mb vs MB and on up through the GB and TB I can...

      I got that email too. It does look to be an interesting range of devices. Ine could have a lot of fun with them if people didn't know you had them fitted behind light switches - suddenly the lights go out, oh now the switch needs to be up for on, it needed to be down for on before ....

      Series record issue.

      The one that annoys me is when you look at the first showing, and it shows as a series recording, but then because it clashes with something else you want to record at the same time so select an alternative recording time, only to find that the alternative time is not set up as a series...

      They usually need oiling, the sintered bronze bearings tend to run dry after an extended period. Often there is a sticker on one side that you can lift to expose the bearing. I drop of light oil such as sewing machine oil will be enough to supply the bearing with enough oil to run for a couple...

      Recording stuff twice

      My HDR-Fox-T2 will sometimes duplicate the last episode of a series, especially where the series has an alternative screening. But I take it that is not what you are getting, I take it you are getting full series recordings of both the first and second screenings

      Forum software upgrade planned for 20/11/2024

      My RS has gone back to not displaying the program details for next Thursdays programs in the RS Visual display, just showing a recording date of Jan 1 1970. All the previous days programs (well the ones I selected anyway) show the correct details and recording date and time, it is just the new...

      GCHQ's Christmas Challenge

      two was easy, three I have most of, four the horizontal words are easy, but the vertical ones are outside my knowledge, five is easy, six I'm having a job getting my head around what they mean, seven will take some thinking about. Don't forget that Santas trail is spelt out in morse code.

      Media mistakes

      I believe this goes back to the days of the movies, where makeup worn by actors (and actresses) was done in weird colours to get suitable looking makeup on B&W film, which at the time was badly lacking in spectral response. It probably continued into monochrome TV times as well. But then there...

      Cement must be doubtful, after all the Romans are known to have used concrete. If they didn't use cement in it, what did they use? I thought it was Dunlop invented the pneumatic tyre - I may well be wrong though. Did he just manage to commercialise it?

      There is still something going wrong in the RS database. Looking at entries in the 'Visual' tab, up and including Wednesday, they contain the program information. From Thursday onward the window is empty, giving just start time as Jan 1, 1970 and duration as 00:00 for all entries. Device id can...

      Suddenly I have multiple conflicts

      I figured something starnge had happened when so many (obviously not) conflicts happened on my RS as well yesterday. However last nights recordings went through OK and everything had settled down this morning. But it did have me looking for conflicts and why they would have affected programs...

      Help with dead recorder box

      Brown gunk around electrolytic capacitors is definitely not good, it means they have spilt their corrosive insides over the circuit board. This requires some good scrubbing of the PCB after removing the relevant components and possibly also being prepared to replace some other nearby components...

      Does the BBC News at Six O'clock usually run over by more than two minutes!

      I never found AR to be satisfactory, despite others saying they have no problems with it. So I record with 5 minutes padding each end, and for the case mentioned use BBC1 News HD, BBC South SD and One Show HD to get the overlaps. Then I'm not concerned if there is a couple of minutes overrun.

      RS Visual Schedule not updating

      I have a problem with the RS Visual Schedule not updating. It is showing programs for today (Sunday) and the rest of the schedule is empty, while I know there are programs scheduled for the whole week. I had thought that it was a quirk of the daylight saving switch, but that has come and gone...
