I've had some ask me about it with regards to Gold on 954Khz in the Exeter area. Personally I use Freeview now, although our analogue reception was pretty good (nearly on par with Freeview on ITV the other night when watching Corrie). > I would also like to note that we have a couple of holiday cottages > so we have > had to upgrade to satelite due to complaints - never could understand why > people would want to stay in in Devon! Oooh I wish I could get satellite TV (all that lovely free to air HD which most probably won't play on my PC even with a quad core CPU). Can't get it due to some trees being in the way. I'd happily plant extra trees if these trees blocking my line of sight were trimmed. > All I can say is I've never seen such appalling programs and digital seems to > be pearls to swine ( program creators that is) and I now watch a lot less > telly. Something you are all pleased with I'm sure... I'd agree with telly being appalling. There's only so much I watch on TV now, most of it seems to be repeats or reality TV. > Got to go and install Linux on my old ZX81 now... > Which reminds me - I'm trying to make a Smartbootmanager floppy and all my > media is duff - anyone make me one please pretty please? If you still haven't managed to sort one out I'll try and dig out a floppy for you (my other half insisted on a brand new floppy drive on her PC). It would have to be 1.44MB 3.5" though, I chucked away the old 5.25" floppy drive years ago (no doubt if I got another one it would work though).
