ITV HD have shown a few films, King Kong, Wimbledon, The Mummy & The Scorpion King from memory. BBCHD have been showing films from the start, just because there is none on this week doesn't mean they don't. They have shown dozens, Kill Bill 1&2, The Relic, No1 Ladies Detective Agency, The...

Film4 & Film4+1 think have been FTA since they went on freeview, certainly since I've had satellite (about 2 years). Channel 4 (well the new one), more4, more4+1, E4 & E4+1 went FTA a couple of days before the launch of freesat, despite the +1's not yet being on the freesat EPG. They've been...

WTF? ITV quality is sub-par any way, but what the hell is this, it's worse than I've ever seen. Tuned into London for the highest bitrate, still utter bollocks. I've had a better picture on P2P TV than this! Wow can't wait for ITV HD, well until I tune in to find a massive glowing DOG and a...

Torn between Scolari and Capello on that list, went for Luiz. The problem with Sven was he was so terrified of being attacking and Steve, great bloke, but clueless about tactics and modern football. Mourinho would be great for the team spirit and organization, but I'd like to see a really...

I'd say that the mental anguish caused by the whole "terrifying" incident would be worth a large settlement. :P

No, not if you have no other method of watching broadcasts.

LOL aba, we were only having a laugh. Not quite, it doesn't matter whether it's a UK signal or not. Even if you point your dish east and only watch that, you still need a licence. As to transmission method, The website clearly says "Satellite, cable or land based transmitter.". I'm not sure...

I don't see the point unless you wanted to multiplex together multiple streams. I'm sure such a device exists somewhere for a price. You can make one out of a PC, some people have apparently been able to get the signal to be generated by a RAMDAC on a graphics card, but the cheapest I can find...

And a completely incorrect one. That would mean you would need a TV license to operate, among hundreds of other things, a mobile phone, a wireless keyboard, a radio controlled car, or one of those time-syncing watches....

Yeah Analoguesat, the content looks about as much fun as being stabbed in the eye, but at least someone is broadcasting some HD. The SD version is just a testcard ATM. Some screens for quality analysis: And a chart showing decoding power at this bitrate:

Just got this come up, broadcasting 1280x1088 at 5.8mb/s in AVC. Is this staying FTA? Looks like junk (channel, not quality), but if it's FTA, then a step in the right direction for the platform at least. Edit: Sorry this is the section isn't it.....

It's just done it again! I put my other DVB card back in my system a while ago to see if it worked with DVBdream, it does but brings down my whole system with a BSOD when the card doesn't have a signal... Anyway none of those crashes caused this problem, so tonight I took the s-video out...

That is _so_ last year, cold cathodes are L££7er. ;) I do have some UV CCs :cool: Thanks, eBuyer do indeed take Paypal, I've taken a look though and they don't have any decent controllers, but they've some other stuff I might have a look at. They have the Hiper type-r PSUs I was thinking of...

Hi, anyone know? A 12 or possibly a 13, only found 1, on eBay, but it's a ripoff. I really need a fan controller that will fit behind my case door, any others that I could buy. Might get an aerogate 3: _http://www.thecoolingshop.com/product_info.php/cPath/100_37/products_id/1459 Or something...

Well I've been trying to use FF since it came 2, had it installed forever. Liking its functions, hating its slowness but I'm using IE now, it wouldn't let me click any but the first two sponsered links on google. :/ Opera I also have, but bleh, only use it to play the widget games.
