There's a very wide range of knowledge across this group. Do you think that between us we hold the whole of human knowledge? Bill

The plot line of last Sunday’s Call The Madwife involved a Black mechanic fixing Nurse Crane’s car outside the front Of the convent. Whilst listening to reggae. It was about 24 hours later that it occurred to me that in 1964 you’d be lucky to get The Beatles on the BBC during the working...

My recordings of this week's two episodes of Great British Railway Journeys have had the sound way out of sync. Usually this can be "fixed" by stopping playback and starting it again, but not this time. I think sound was leading picture, but it can be quite difficult to tell sometimes, and the...

I'm on Waltham which is to the SE. Lots of pixelation and some MUXs have no signal. Went outside to see that the aerial was still in place and next door neighbour said he's had no reception since last night. He's pointing to Nottingham, about due West. How come? Nothing on...

I have a DVD of 'The Last Emperor' - for those who haven't seen it, it's a beautifully and sensitively told story, often accompanied by some simple but very beautiful music. My problem is that the DVD won't display full-screen even on a wide-screen laptop, it's letter-boxed in the centre of...

I bought this for our lad's flat, and installed it just before Christmas. Does the job fine, so I switched it off and forgot all about it. Yesterday he (finally !) moved in, and switched it on. He tells me there's a penetrating high pitched whistle from it. Neither myself nor Mrs Carver can hear...

We tend to to listen to the local radio via the freeview set a lot nowadays as it is convenient and FM and Dab from Rowridge is a bit iffy in this bit of the Hants - Dorset border. What has been annoying me for sometime is that the sound often drops out ,it seems worse on some occasions than...

Situation. My neighbour who has home phone and tv, has had several phone calls saying they were from virgin but with completely incomprehensible English saying a new box was coming. She told them they had only replaced her box recently but they rang off. They then rang her to say they...
