The Grundig Freesat box has had a software download to allow the viewing
of non-Freesat channels. However, you have to manually add channels by
keying in the multiplex details. Oh dear. Can't see Joe Public liking that.

Including the FEC and PID for both video and audio?

Have they fixed the problem where the colour is shifted to the left of the
luminance?

Could you please tell me how much bandwidth it wasted on that one
occasion, and what the consequences of that wastage would be in
real terms?

You doubled the size of your message, now think what that means if
1,000 people posted multi-part messages, now think what it would
mean is 10,000 people did it, what about 50,000 did - this means
that many servers will start dropping older messages sooner than
they otherwise should due to the extra storage space the multi-part
messages use (some servers might only hold a few days-worth of
'archive' messages), the other problem is that some servers will
delete multi-part messages 'on sight' meaning that your message
might not be seen by all.... The other problem with multi-part
messages is that it's very easy for the sender or a Trojan to hide
a virus within the HTML (just as can happen with web pages) and a
onLoad script.

Like I said, 'Could you please tell me how much bandwidth it wasted
on that one
snip

That is NOT the point, bandwidth is irrelevant, it's to do with how
Usenet servers work as I tried to explain above.


It was a polite pointing out what you had done,
It wasn't polite, it came across as snotty and patronising.
Sometimes the word 'please' when used like that can be
counter-productive.

What should I have said then, considering that you are from Yorkshire
and I have Northumbrian blood - 'BTW, don't post f*cking multi-part
messages you moronic c*unt faced idiot'?....

Grow up!


Stop talking about yourself.

Go on then, tell teacher. There were kids like you at school. No-one
liked them either.

You appear to be in a very unpleasant mood today.

The Bush has a seperate AD button, as it is made by Alba and so are others I
expect it is almost universal.

For Brian we make exceptions, due to him having to use a
screen-reader, it's
a little more difficult when you can't see.

Also, top posting is just annoying, it's not a de facto 'No, no' like
multi-part (HTML) posting is (for the reasons given elsewhere).

Calm down.
For what it's worth, you're response was pretty rude, and worse than
rude if you meant it as you might say the same to any of us.

Goodness, is all this crap going to two newsgroups?

It's so bloody annoying when people delete all the previous headers and
messages and we don't know who they're replying to or for that matter what
it's all about:o)

You did something different in that article that caused it to have an
HTML copy attached to it. This is a pointless waste of bandwidth,
and you don't usually do it, so presumably you made a mistake.

I think this sort of comment about wasting bandwidth dates back to
around 1995 when we were all (well those of us online back then) were
using 14.4k dial up modems (28.8 = luxury, my 14.4 cost me £90 back
then).
I now pay Rupert £5 a month for 8Mb on top of my Sky sub so this
bandwidth wasting talk is nonsense. IMO.
I'm with Bill on this one, what harm did his HTML malarkey cause
anyone?

CD

Some people still use news readers that are incompatable with HTML, probably
why it's still frowned on for Usenet.
