I'll admit that I cheat and use spellchecker on the phone. The keyboard is too small, and I am always hitting a letter instead of the space bar or hitting the letter next to tge one I want, just like I did there. When I am typing really quickly things get really messed up. Spellchecker just...

One of the HD Humax boxes will cover pretty much all of that. Just for clarity, the adverts are those on TV, so you can skip those in a recording by using fast-forward. Regarding 'set up and forget'. you don't really have that with any terrestrial TV receiver or recorder. If or when the TV...

There are a lot of things happening at the same time. (1) Freeview and Freesat used to be separate entities. Although both part of the public service broadcast system they were almost rivals, each negotiating their own contracts with the various TV channel providers. That has changed. The two...

Apologies in advance to any electricians here present, but this looks like an electrician's bodge in a new build. Rather than admit they haven't a clue when it comes to AV and TV aerial cabling, they just blunder through trying to wing it with what they know from mains wiring without realising...

Here be dragons. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: There's a whole raft of things that have an influence on picture quality. If money was no object, you'd buy one of the new generation quantum dot (QD) OLED TVs 80% of the time. The remaining 20%, for those times when the TV has to compete against huge...

There's native refresh rate (how many times a whole picture can be displayed on a TV panel), and there's the motion processing rate, which is how many goes round the processing electronics has at scaling and filling in the missing bits between real pixels. The important one is native refresh...

That 5 should be a letter S. Try UE48H6670 as the product code.

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.
