I meant this one

I refer my honorable friend to the most recent rodent related thread.....

....unless of course you have a rogue DJ in the loft, in which case I'd contact your councils noise enforcement team...

These work very well (but are somewhat expensive in daily maintenance costs):
Vinyl Eating Mice

Order these

No idea.

 

[John Pykett]

No idea.

i hope it does because thats one of the reasons why i got freesat because more channels than freeview and better coverage

They are AV drives and not really reliable for PC data use - different error correction firmware etc.

Ive had one of the 80GB drives working as a D drive for three years. No issues yet

 

[Analoguesat]

do you know if quest red will be launching on freesat?

Unlikely.

 

[John Pykett]

Unlikely.

it might be fta on sky but not in freesat epg

 

[Channel Hopper]

Care to explain ?

 

[John Pykett]

Care to explain ?

considering quest is on freeview and freesat surely a channel from the same owners will come fta on freesat but not on epg

Apologies, you'll have to explain epg on freesat where you live, I'm in Surrey but only have Freeview.

 

[PaulR]

If you're saying that because a channels is available on Freeview then it should also be on Freesat rather than encrypted by $ly then I'm afraid that it doesn't work like that. Yes, most of the FTA channels from Freeview are also on Freesat but not all. It's a commercial decision by the channel owner as to whether they put it out FTA or encrypted on satellite even if it's FTA on terrestrial.

[Channel Hopper]

Yes

 

[John Pykett]

Yes
