I have a Panasonic Freesat Plasma tv model TX-P50G10B and a Panasonic Freesat Blue-ray disc recorder model DMR-BS850EB, the recorder also has a hard drive and two separate satellite inputs. For the past few weeks both the tv and the recorder are having a problem with just one channel, 119 ITV...

Why isn't there a BBC TV channel devoted to classical music? After all, those us who have the maturity of taste and intelligence to appreciate classical music are in general the ones who are the most productive, and thus generate the most wealth, so in effect we are giving the poor people the...

My Humax HDR-Fox T2 is badgering me to retune, "In order to continue to receive all the channels available in your area." Is there anything new of significance? I don't see anything at http://www.terrestrialtv.co.uk/ and I don't want to retune unnecessarily as I would have to reenter all my...

I had to laugh. BBC TV news last night, main item was the increase in anti-terrorist police activity. So they showed the police stopping a blonde white woman to find out if she was a terrorist and then they interviewed three members of the public to ask what they thought about the terrorists....

There seems to be a sudden surge in these 'monopole mastes 12 m high with associated equipment cabinets' being put up around this part of London. I'd have thought there were quite enough of these by now and did wonder how all of this, presumably 4g stuff might affect the tuners in many sets...

We were in Borehamwood a few days ago and spotted Lidl. My wife spotted some Hydrangeas and leapt in. I followed remembering that they often have some amazing bargains of things I never need. I spotted some small boxes in in bin and picked one up. Radio=Controlled Alarm clock it said in English...

The Humax DTT box in the kitchen is quite new. It has software bugs. It took me a long time to find out what to do about one of them. This was after having downloaded new software on a dongle, which fixed most things. The one it didn't fix was that if the machine was recording it wouldn't...

Just done a Freeview auto-tune here near Lymington, Hants, and was suprised to find that BBC1 was no longer 101, but 1. (BBC2= 2, etc). ("101 Not available...") Yet the Radio Rimes shows the former 101, 102,etc. Anyone knnow what's going on? --

Hi all, on my recently purchased TV to a Samsung UE49KU6670 Smart 4k Ultra HD HDR 49inch TV. I have two Humax HDR-FOX T2 recorders connected by HDMI leads and a Samsung Blue Ray DVD player. I am happy for the DVD player to auto switch the TV to it as I only turn it on when wanting to use...

Local news here on ITV (Channel 3) from Rowridge is Meridian South. However, on ITV+1 (Channel 33) it is Meridian South-east. Anyone know what the reason is for this, and do other areas have different regional news programmes on ITV and ITV+1? -- Jeff

Your starter for 5 points.

Hi all, I have just upgraded my TV to a Samsung UE49KU6670 Smart 4k Ultra HD HDR 49inch one. When external speakers are connected by the optical Audio out socket, should that mean the built in speakers are muted and speaker volume controlled by the TV remote? Hoping someone can advise, ...

Is it just meant to be so complicated nobody can remember which model they actually wanted and what the differences are? I think I'll start a campaign for things to be named like cars and they are of manufacture. so this one in the thread above could, for example be called the Nigel 2016 TV,...

Quite an old box this; I don't know how old. It's used intensively for a few days then not used probably for weeks. It developed a fault as follows: It took ten minutes or more to load the programme guide. If any button was pressed during this time the box would freeze completely. Sometimes the...

If a channel is empty does it exist? Bill

Tonight I did the Freesat OTA software upgrade for the Humax Foxsat HD box. I am now getting sporadic picture breakup on all main channels. The BBC HD channel is unwatchable. I've tried the Humax box on another dish and TV with the same result. I have an old Sky digibox which is working OK with...

A few weeks ago I became alarmed that glycophosphate was being accused of damage to babies etc. Remembering that the grass between the city of Perth and the Swan river had narry a weed anywhere I wrote to my cousin in Perth recommending that she check what the authorities there use. Suddenly...
