I visited a relative earlier today who lives in the same village as me. She has Freeview from a roof mounted aerial. Curious, I checked some of the channels on Freeview. Signal strength is around 51% yet the picture quality is excellent.

I'm not sure if Google gave the correct area but I did find two transmitters with vertical polarization. This is was Google quotes (copied and pasted), The Bala TV transmitter, located in Wales, serves the local area with Freeview digital TV. It is a vertically polarized transmitter. For...

Aerial project complete! I wasn't happy with the Raptor elements layout so returned it for refund and got a Blake log periodic @ TS. Now installed using the signal finder I invested in, I get about 75% signal strength and 100% signal quality according to the TV and all channels I've tried are...

Turns out the plunger wasn't running smooth in the barrel so gave both wipe with emery and got it working.

ATD engine Starter has been sluggish for a while so I removed to give it a clean/service. First thing on the bench was to test the pull in from the solenoid was working, which it was. Stripped, cleaned and lubed as deemed appropriate and when reassemble, tested it and found no action at all...

All comments noted - thanks! Will post results is due course.

I've tried the aerial in the loft which is where I plan to install it. As a test, I laid it on the insulation and pointed it using a map reading compass to about 318°, the bearing quoted by freeview.co.uk I did an autotune on the TV which found over 160 channels. I'm getting about 35 for...

What intrigues me about the aerial I've bought is the elements near the outer end don't seem to be the correct lengths. In photos of log periodic aerials I've seen online, the elements form a uniform taper whereas the one I have, they're a bit staggered in length. Is this acceptable? A...

This is full length view of the elements.

I bought one of these and looking at it, the elements seem odd in that they don't reduce in length uniformly towards the outer end so I'm wondering is this a properly made aerial? Opinions welcome.

It seems that way. When the replacement was lost, the old faulty one was found in a draw. I was none the wiser when I was asked to look at why the remote didn't work all of a sudden. I've discarded the old faulty one. It demonstrates just because the remote light flashes when buttons are...

This will make everyone chuckle. I was trying to get the old faulty remote to work. Its light flashes but it doesn't control the TV. I visited yesterday and noticed the bed TV remote was in the lounge so I took it along to the bed and found another remote which works with the bed TV. It seems...

I found this CT-90300 remote and the listing header states its for use with the Toshiba 37AV555D. I'll take a punt and post feedback in due course. Thanks All!

The Toshiba SE-R0344 remote control was controlling the TV but no longer even though the remote's beam still lights. It may be the Toshiba 37AV555D TV at fault but I'll take a punt and get a CT-90300 remote if that's OE for the TV. Its a bedside TV for an elderly relative who watches the likes...

Don't know about remote but if CT-90300 is the right application for the TV, I may source one. Thanks

Yes, I checked the remote's flashing light with my mobile's camera and it lighting up when buttons are pressed.. I've tried again today, powering down the TV and batteries (new) out of the remote but still no go on power up. Also give the TV's sensor a wipe. I've been through the onscreen menu...

The TV is model 37AV555D and the remote is SE-R0344, also Toshiba. The remote flashes the signal light when buttons are pressed but the TV does not respond. The TV can be operated with its own buttons. Have tried fresh batteries in the remote and pressing every one of its buttons. No joy. Is...

Although sae0 will allow better oil flow than sae5 for winter cold start/running, I'm leaning towards 5w30 for overall wear protection.

16.03.2020 reg, 54k miles 1.0 petrol The oil selectors quote 0w30 (504/507) for 2018-20 and 0w20 (508/509) for 2020-21. For the reg, the local main VW confirmed 0w20. Some folk suggest 5w30 (504/507) for better wear protection. Can I ask what other TRoc owners use please? I'll be using a...

Having contacted Resideo and provided the part no for my T3R thermostat, they've told me that its not a retail product so only has four time/temp periods. Only the retail type have the six. I'm curious if mine is not a retail product even though it was supplied in a printed box c/w instruction...
