    How do I join this cable?

    I have a sneaking suspicion that the banning of lead was a political decision - not environmental. Someone at the top probably wanted to stuff whoever controls the mines in South Africa.

    How do I join this cable?

    LOL! I used to type insulting material but I've mellowed in my old age. ;) No, it's crap at conducting. (It really is. And it can fracture, leaving no connection.) Would you like to employ me as your editor? I'll just follow you around and correct your typos for a small fee. ;)

    Modern Macs don't have a "card" facility but you can buy an external USB box from ElGato called "EyeTV". It comes with excellent software for MacOSX.

    Freeview signal testing help!!!

    Local planning regulations normally forbid the installation of more than two aerials outdoors. Are they all pointing at the same transmitter? If so, you can throw two away and employ a splitter or a masthead amplifier - depending on how strong the signal is and how many TVs you want to feed...

    tv reception

    By "what method is it" I was really asking for a labelled wiring sketch. The sort of thing shown here: http://www.satcure.co.uk/useful/tech_help.htm#sketch Without that, I have no idea how it's meant to be working and especially what is the purpose of the unknown amplifier in the living room.

    faulty samsung tv screen

    Hi, Phil. Yes, it can probably be fixed for somewhat less than the price of a new TV. Ask your local TV repair shop. Factor in its age, current value, price of a replacement etc. before you decide. (Obviously we don't know because you haven't stated the model number or age!)

    Clearly the method used for splitting the aerial signal to both rooms is incorrect. What method is it? See http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/amps.htm#split

    Connecting a dish via pre-installed aerial co-ax

    RG6 uses aluminium foil. The aluminised mylar film type is not RG6. In fact I doubt that it has a designation other than [email protected]. But even with aluminium foil, the "RG6" type cable found in the UK usually has a steel core wire, which renders it fairly useless where it has to carry significant...
