In the room here where I talk with you lot my eldest has installed a digi thingy, I now have lots of channels to choose from.  However, he reckons he can't do anything about the rubbish that is on there.  evil:

My set tells me it has 109 channels. I had an imaginary conversation with my dead Dad today as it retuned (he died before CHannel 4 was thought of) We concluded that the box is 99.9% shite these days  noooo:

About 2 weeks after my dad died I am convinced I saw him in the distance in town.  He was dressed a bit weird, in a boiler suit but was carrying a small suitcase.  I reckon he was going off on holiday, something he was very good at.  I nearly shouted out to him but then thought 'no off you go Dad and hope you enjoy it'.  So really my Dad is not dead ... he's just still travelling.   cloud9:

That is mainly because they are shite. Lil Bruv has one and gets fewer stations than my old anna-log transistor radio.... also he finds the signal comes and goes ~ a bit like good old 208 used to. Strangely his Freeview TV picks up all the duff stations he can't get on his wireless.... We assume the problem is the lack of an outdoor aerial on the radio ~ It's a Roberts BTW so should be good if the price is anything to go by.
