The BBC test cards were some of the best 'programmes' ever shown. And that wonderful instrumental music.

Sorry, I didn't realise some of you had problems downloading my testcards. I've uploaded them to my free isp space for you. You shouldn't have any problems now I hope.

I have a few creations I'd like to share with folk. TV Testcards (mainly UK testcards, idents and tuning signal screens) I've put together with a little screensaver which allows you to view them randomly in full screen on your computer. Works best for those with older square monitors. Might bring back a few memories for the more mature enthusiast lol

Right Click on the ssmypics.scr and pick configure. Set it to full screen, turn off transitions and browse to the folder to tell it where to find the testcards. Then just double click the ssmypics.scr to run it. It doesn't install, just leave it in the same folder.

For the sad people that want widescreen testcards, I've stretched (altered) a few of the old ones to look correct on widescreen monitors. Not how they should really be seen, but if you don't like black borders and not worried about how correct the testcards are, this is for you.

Just found this rather unusual music video on youtube - "save the test pattern" What ever will they think of next!

(If admin approves of said video, maybe he can make it a nicer link than what I've done).

Admin approves !!
