... and I still can't decent fucken reception even after buying the most dupdedooop farkin antenna that actually plugs into a powerpoint, with another one piggy backed onto it, plus a fucking set top box hooked up to the telly.
yep I should rig up a roof top ariael but we've been planning to move out of the house (for about 6 months now) so have put it off.
I'm at the point where I'm thinking of subscribing to foxtel just so I can get decent free to air.
but wtf is going on when after 50 bloody years they still haven't figured out how to transmit this shit and make something that can actually pick it up.
Marconi's got a lot to answer for. I get better quality with streaming video.

oh yeah and has anyone noticed that their SBS reception has suddenly become perfect over the past 2 weeks? All of a sudden I get SBS better than every other channel - wonder if thats got anything to do with a few fat cats vested interest in the outcome of soccer ("the real football") as a sport in this country.  |

news story today:
Aaron Spelling, a onetime movie bit player who turned to television production to create a massive number of hit series from the vintage Charlie's Angels, Dynasty, Love Boat and Fantasy Island to Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place, has died, his publicist said. He was 83.
yeah well maybe if he'd bothered to tell someone to fix up the fucken' problem with tv transmission reception I'd give a fuck.

I get seven and ten through my fox digi, no program info comes up on the bottom of the screen, but I get the channels. I did work experience at SBS zzz's, the main reason people think that the reception is shit is cause they dont realise its a UHF channel or something, ya need to have ya aerial set up proper to get SBS proper. And as for clear, well I have always had crystal clear SBS, but channel 7 which is less than 10kms away has always been shit? go figure?  do you live in a cave? |
