It dates from 1936 and still works with the help of a standards converter to change 625 lines to 405 lines! The chap who own it uses a modern FreeView box with it :-rofl2

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

I thought I'd take a look at the standards converter he has, and it's a snip at a price just short of $1000... :eek:

Still, blummin' nice setup they have there... :D
