RE: Damn! ... or is it?

Once overheard a salesdroid in Comet tell a customer that even if they used a SCART lead connect their satellite to their Nicam TV they still wouldnt have Stereo Sound because satellite didnt use NICAM.

 

I take great pleasure in asking questions and seeing how deep a hole the sales person will dig for themselves. Cant consider getting a TiVo as no shop round here can demonstrate it because they havent got subscriptions.

Oh dear faced with the prospect of asking a “multiples” salesperson a technical question, not a prayer of him knowing that one I suspect ;-)

*chortle*

 

Don't worry Keith ... *IF* I ever did get a problem I'd mail you directly rather than the group anyway.

 

Comet are doing a 20" Nicam 4:3 TV for £139 ... and since it's only a bedroom TV then size isn't too much of an issue. Just need to find out what it does when given NTSC!

Phew !!!

 

Had me worried there :-(

 

But just in case....its the Brown/White pair on 7&8 that carries Chroma.

 

Asda were doing 32" Widescreen for £400 or 28" 4:3 with PIP for £300

Just installed my next pair of KAT5s piping the DVD changer upstairs. I get a black and white picture only!

 

Franticly trying to work out which of my RJ45 crimps is knacked when suddenly I remember than my crappy old TV upstairs (a Mitsubishi) doesn't handle NTSC and only displays a black and white image when given anything other than PAL or PAL60.

 

Bugger!

 

Wonder if I can use this as an excuse to buy another TV?
