Stealing Bill's pictures

I think you've just called me an anorak, I can't argue with your factual
accuracy.
It stood out like a sore thumb amongst all the pictures of Unix 52s on
inadequate brackets.

No, I haven't called you an anorak! Actually I 've just got in from a
120 mile drive in which I must have pointed at a rooftop and said to
Hil 'Look at that!' at least a hundred times!

Regarding eidetic memory, my uncle has always boasted that he has a
photographic memory, but not he's nearly 80 he admits there isn't
always a film in his camera.

My wife calls me an anorak regularly - I now accept it as a compliment. It's
certainly a talking point.

I have every sympathy with your uncle. I can recall aerials in random towns
but have to run through several choices of names before I can shout at my
kids!

Lots to see (and criticize) on this pagehttp://www.abaerials.co.uk(click

about the only picture that doesn't feature a Triax Unix 52. One size
obviously does fit all!

See if you can spot
it:http://www.wrightsaerials.tv/aerialp...dern/026.shtml

Cheers D

Many thanks for spotting that! Your eidetic memory must be
exceptional. The cheeky ****ing ****s! I shall be writing to them
tomorrow.

It would be interesting to know if they've copied the photos or just linked
to your ones. If the latter, you can have a bit of fun swapping pictures.

All the photos on there are there, not links. If you dig deep enough on
the site there are some that are nothing to do with aerials too!

This paragraph from the front page tells you all you need to know
about the company:


There is no need to replace your current television as there are
several options already available to receive the Freeview Digital TV
service. One of the more common methods is the installation of a new
Digital TV Aerial at your property, and the addition of a digital
receiver box to receive the signal.


Using digital coax of course

I have noticed that people are already asking if they need to upgrade
their Freeview television aerials to an HD television aerial in order
to receive Freeview HD transmissions.

Oh, yes. It must be on a 3D mast, held by 3D brackets, with a 3D coax
downlead (twin coax, one centre for each eye). Masthead amps and
distribution amps will need to be twinned. 3D is stereoscopic. Just the
same as with stereophonic systems everything needs to be duplicated.

I hope that helps. ;-)

For people without technical knowledge that is a perfectly sensible
question.

I've already got a 3D TV aerial. It's got a bit that goes up, a long bit
that goes along, and some itty bitty bits that go crossways.

Interesting. I wonder whether they have considered moving the
polarisation planes through 45 degrees: x rather then +.

Do you not think then that it rather ironic that people will ask if
they need a new antenna to be able to receive HD transmissions, but
it appears that an awful lot of people think that if they have a TV
set which is labeled as "HD Ready" that they will be able to watch
HD broadcasts on the Freeview multiplex?
