Yeah. But that's not a 2022 LG. Also, the nature of software glitches is they often get fixed. Looking at a thread some months - or a year later in this case - could well mean that conditions have changed.

Should this be in the Alarms, CCTV, and Telephones forum instead? Might get more views from the phone-oriented crowd.

VM use compression connectors. For a one-off job you'll do fine with one of the kits from eBay. See eBay item no. #285531131138.

Ah, my mistake and my apologies. I missed that he'd replied between yours and mine. :ROFLMAO:

The question isn't whether HD100 can be used for aerials. It can because it should be a better spec than a lot of the standard RG6 rubbish sold for aerial and satellite hookup. The question is the other way around. Can stuff sold for TV aerial use also be used for Virgin Media. This is a...

If they're what VM used to install, then te answer is no. They have extra shielding. Three layers rather than two for coax now used for TV and satellite. Look up Webro HD100 (a triple-shielded coax) and compare to Webro WF100. In all honesty, Webro WF100* is really good. By that I mean miles...

No, he's right. The change though is he's more likely to be a guy working from home rather than a shop. I have a friend down in Perranporth, Cornwall, who repairs hundreds of TVs a year. You'll find someone via Facebook market place, FreeAds, FridayAds, maybe Loot.

The test for failing capacitors (a common problem) is heat and cold, but if SWMBO won't let you tinker then it's all a bit moot. Buy a new TV. It's an expensive solution as an alternative to replacing £2.00 worth of parts, but if she can do without new shoes or meals out for a while then it...

I'm in the trade but not as a retailer. My skill set is different. The main business I have centres around installation, so the physical stuff of taking houses apart to conceal cabling and fix hardware into the fabric of the building before putting it all back together again. The other part of...

Are we talking new or used? New; everything should be HD capable, and yes, that means it will pick up the BBC HD channels so long as you can receive them from your local transmitter. The good stuff from reputable brands will be pricey though. I'm seeing Manhatten boxes with a built-in hard...

The Echo Dot accesses the same range of Internet radio stations as you can get via a laptop or smart phone. It's possible then to check quite easily if the stations you want to listen to have broadcasting rights for the net. (Not all UK terrestrial radio stations have this.) I mention it because...

Reading between the lines I think this might be more about just getting access to some radio stations rather than trying to apply Alexa skills to something that really isn't up to it.

Painting with a very broad brush, loudspeakers need at least a couple of Volts and maybe about 0.1A of current to make enough noise that you hear them from 10ft away. The Line out on an Echo provides maybe 1V and no appreciable current. Get those speakers up close - within arm's reach - and you...

It's not safe to make any presumptions. In the main, you have - Blu-ray players - a device which only plays discs. The discs can be DVD or Blu-ray. There is no recording. Play/player means exactly that. - TV Harddrive recorders with Blu-ray playback. This is a one-box solution for someone who...

If you can afford it, and by some miracle your missus would let you have a 55", then the LG G3 is the one to get. These have the heatsink panel and the micro-lenses, so they go brighter than the C3 with less risk of image retention. The rtings review site has been running accelerated wear tests...

Some of this could be context sensitive menus. For example, if I go into the settings on my TV, the Freeview tuning menu only appear if the TV is in DTV mode. I know that may sound really obvious, and begs the question why anyone would want to access the Freeview menus when a HDMI input is being...

If this was a "what should I buy?" thread, then I think your comments about the price disparity would have some merit. In the general way of things, a £90 sound bar is rarely paired with a £1,000 TV where a person takes the time and effort to ask for advice before purchasing. However, as...

@Hysteresis , thanks for the model number. Now we have that I can see the appropriate user manuals and better understand the issues you're having. The first thing to say is that LG's user manuals are about as much use as a chocolate teapot. It's irksome that in talking about one thing they...

You're not wrong about Currys staff in the main. There are probably a few exceptions, but not many. TV sound generally sucks. It has become progressively worse as TVs got thinner over the years. Sony's vibrating screen is a bit like NXT technology from the early aughties. It works pretty well...

I'm sure you probably know this, but you can't always rely on the opinions of others in things such as Amazon and Currys reviews. Some folks are easily pleased. The Sharp sound bar is £90, and that includes a wireless sub. If you breakdown all the costs, stuff such as resellers profit, VAT...
