The BBC are just as bad but if I want a TV in the house I MUST pay them or else. In fact the BBC are worse than Sky because we actually have to pay them to be indoctrinated with left wing PC baloney which really does take the P***.<br /><br />I spend very little time in front of a tv, maybe too much in front of the computer but hey I don't care and at least the computer gives me a balanced view on current affairs.Maturecheesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404218212128353502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-15162460550680197192011-01-13T12:18:37.154+00:002011-01-13T12:18:37.154+00:00Northern..

Not very aesthetic though ;)<br />But most of us have a Sky package or something similar these days so we'll be on an easily accessible database and our tv will have a unique identifier.radio geeknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-41570458992976661092011-01-13T08:41:27.969+00:002011-01-13T08:41:27.969+00:00RadioGeek:Thanks for that!Is there anyway to mask ...RadioGeek:Thanks for that!Is there anyway to mask a tvs presence?<br /><br />When I was a kid,and school summer holidays stretched out into infinity,the day started with 2-3 hours of compulsory telly.Casey Jones,champion the wonder horse,robinson crusoe,white horses,belle & sebastian,banana splits,singing ringing tree,usually ending with whydontyouswitchoffyourtelivisionandgodosomethinglessboringinstead?<br />The last prog usually failed to keep my interest,and off I'd go,meeting up with my mates and vanishing deep into the local woods to damn the beck and relive the damnbusters raid.We wouldn't be seen again by boring adults till 7ish.No-one got hysterical over our disappearance,nothing got destroyed;there was one kiddy fiddler who approached us (one incedent in ten-ish years,but he was seen off with a volley of stones.Seems like a thousand years ago in a very different country.Northern Smokernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-68192374325485877112011-01-13T01:12:42.583+00:002011-01-13T01:12:42.583+00:00As I've spent between 8 to 12 hours a day on c...As I've spent between 8 to 12 hours a day on computers for over 20 years, I've just realised that I died some time ago.<br /><br />This is hell then?<br /><br />That figures... it's full of lunatics who claim the sky is falling, that governments have your interests at heart and eating this and not smoking or drinking that will prolong your eternal damnation.<br /><br />Wish I'd walked about a bit more now.Xen347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-8879944654637103132011-01-13T00:41:12.716+00:002011-01-13T00:41:12.716+00:00Oh, no!

The only way to monitor TV watching is if there's a camera in the TV or in an attached device, such as a gaming machine"<br /><br />Afraid not. In pre digital times the tv vans monitored what you were watching by tuning in to the BFO ( beat frequency oscillator) of your tv . Each channel is on a seperate frequency. During the reciever process your UHF signal goes through a number of tuned circuits and is mixed with the bfo frequency in the mixer to reduce the frequency. Eventually reaching audio level. Your tv is actually a mini transmitter and the frequency output is related to the channel you're tuned to.<br />In the digital tvs there's no need for all that malarkey. Your tv 'handshakes' with the transmitter and the channel you're watching is available on a computer screen somewhere. It's why your tv has a unique code for the porn channels etc to identify you.radio geeknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-85869449536384855642011-01-12T12:52:36.117+00:002011-01-12T12:52:36.117+00:00It's so reassuring to know that I can sit all ...It's so reassuring to know that I can sit all day and read a book with no risk.

We were better off and more productive when people just smoked. At least everyone was happy, thinking clearly and quickly and work was getting done at the same time.
