I have no idea Gins...all I no is I got a letter in the post asking me if I wanted help with a box...you know this advert they kept plugging for the over 75s :-D

well obviously I did'nt need it...I preferred it when I had Virgin, if they ever get cable here I will change over I think

Has your area still got an analog signal then? Ours was switched off last Aug

Ja..x if your mom has a box with her tv she will not need a dish to recieve the standard tv channels.

Does she get Freeview (ITV2 BBC3 etc) I would have thought so if she has a box, she sounds sorted to me

Our tv has built in Freeview and Freesat. You dont need a dish to get Freeview, just a tv with it built in or a box if its not built in

You do need a dish to recieve Freesat whether its built in or not...if youve got sky, youre sorted, nothing extra needed

I do only need a dish but I dont have Sky Ja..x

If you have Sky you dont need a box for either Full HD or HD Ready tv set

LK you need power surge proof sockets.....

I thought the roof might blow off last night it was so bad and you bet the insurers would find some excuse not to pay out

Been out with JB, lunch, Meadowhall (Meadowhell) and then went to order a new sat dish. As we got into the shop JB starts saying we need a sat box......derrr I say we have an HD tv with freesat built in, we just need a sat dish

......he goes quiet and looks at me as though Im some sort of numpty, I assure him the tv does have freesat built in and thats why we paid more for the buddy thing.....could tell he thought I was tim but dim

Gets back home, pulls out the tv spec..............Sony Bravia Full HD with built in FREESAT no set top box required

And I thought women were supposed to be........no, Im not saying it


Edit: forgot say the person serving us was a woman and we agve each other the 'woman to woman' look ;-)

Just to let you all know I may not be around much for a while. It seems we had a power surge in the night and my computer was dead this morning. The monitor and speakers still had power. I need to investigate what the problem is.

Play nicely. ;-)

A very late start on here for me today.....and I missed brekkie.... :-(



Sylvs, so sorry about Maggie and am disappointed you are not travelling over with OH. I was about to make plans for meeting up :-(



It's been blowing an absolute gale here today. So many plant pots blown over on our little patio. I had a battle getting from the garage to the back door!


Naughty Persie....I had forgotten about that little 'rhyme'. ;-)

Sylvia I am sorry.

It was very quick.

My other colleague has her Dad's funeral Thursday morning.
My daughter will leave work early to collect S's daughter and her sister's son and take them to her house for a sleepover.

Hi Sylv,

Oh the poor thing. Hope your OH is holding up okay.

Grace

This is a busy week for travel .................. part of the High Season .... so that is one reason for the fares being so high.


She was stoic, and always had a very positive attitude ..................... and had been having radiation and then chemo since June in an attempt to lengthen her life.

Re pain, ................ TBH, she never actually said, but I think she must have been. OH spoke to her on Tuesday last week, and he said her voice had definitely altered.
