DTS and DTT both lag noticeably from VHF.

Aspect ratio issues are user error, poor cable, or a cheap set that
wasn't switching properly.


I am sure that Bill will be grateful for your technical explanation.

I was, I was.

Ah but the technical explanation is: -

DTT - all the processing, packetising and Mux assembly mean that there is
significant delay at both ends.

Satellite - to which you can add 44,000 mile (70Mm) round trip to a
satellite or about a further 0.25S



Andthey are still transmitting on VHF in Yorkshire?
Must be if he says so.

They are still working in £sd in some parts of Yorkshire.

You don't have to travel far into Yorkshire to discover how stubborn Tykes
can be - as soon as you cross the border on the M62, there is a farm in the
central reservation. Back when the motorway was built he allegedly
eventually demanded so much money for his ransom strip that it was cheaper
to divert far enough round him on each side (~100m) so that he could not
delay it because it affected his residence. This is not quite the way he
told the story to the Radio Times recently, but he IS still there ~35 years
later.

He must have been bought up in the Fens!, there farmers start that
activity before their born, their mutters have a charge for them being
delivered across their "strip"..


Yes very poor taste I know but its true I tells yer!...

Groats, actually. Although I have been paid in turnips before now.

If you do a job for me here on Tyneside would you accept payment in stotty
cakes, or would you insist on Newcastle Broon?

As a real ale man I deplore Newcastle Brown. It is a singularly
unsophisticated beverage. I drunk it to excess in my ignorant youth, and
there is a story involving ten pints of it, an outside toilet, a marble
counter, a near death experience and Sergeant Pepper. One night when I'm
less tired and more drunk I'll tell it to you.

Alternatively, from http://www.iht.org/motorway/m62bounpole.htm

"The moorland stretch of the M62 was built on geologically creeping side
long ground and each embankment had to be anchored and benched into the
underlying sandstone base. This called for separation of the
carriageways over three-quarters of a mile which fortuitously enabled
Wildes farm and buildings to be retained together with several acres of
rough grazing."

Can't wait :-)

On my keyring, I've got lttle Watney's Red Barrel. And in France a
couple of years ago, I found a drink's warehouse selling Double
Diamond!
