"Bill Wright" wrote in message ... "JohnT" wrote in message ... "R. Mark Clayton" wrote in message ... 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. Bill |

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

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. Bill |

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." |

And in France a couple of years ago, I found a drink's warehouse selling Double Diamond! Marky P. |
