Anyone want a service manual for a Panasonic EURO9D chassis (TX-28/32DTX40) ?
Sat, 10 Oct 2009 16:01:49 +0100
Before binning it now that I no longer have the actual TV, I thought
I'd ask if anyone would like to have a full service manual for the
Panasonic EURO9D chassis (TX-28/32DTX40).
Please don't flame me because I'm NOT offering it for sale - I just

Thomson/Ferguson - there's service!
Sat, 10 Oct 2009 07:24:45 -0700 (PDT)
Another elderly neighbour has a Freeview box which has problems post
30th September (BBC1 now in the 800s).
Unlike Sagem, Thomson are transmitting an update (a repeat but newer
than my neighbour has) next week so fingers crossed it will sort out
the problem.
That's quality service given how old the FDT500 is! ...

Why do some LCD TVs have a poor viewing angle and not others?
Sat, 10 Oct 2009 15:14:47 +0100
Does anyone know why the appearance of flesh tones deteriorates very rapidly
when you move only a little off centre with some LCD TVs (mainly cheaper
ones) and not others? I guess it has something to do with the structure of
different layers that make up the LCD screen, but what?
Reds go pale when you move left ...

Sagem IDT62 serial "success"
Fri, 9 Oct 2009 12:22:19 -0700 (PDT)
It seems there really is serial support (well sort of) on this box.
What I've discovered is...
SCART pins 14 = data ground
SCART pin 12, TV socket = data out (to PC)
SCART pin 12, Aux socket = data in (from PC)
115200 baud, 7 bits, even parity, 2 stop bits, no handshake.
Given this set up I can get two beh ...

deterioration in other otherwise superb programm ...

So, anyone watch the "digital aerial" and Freeview re-tune items on Watchdog
last night?
Contained a rigger who removed a perfectly good Antiference TC18W (albeit it
with a plastic Y splitter in the loft) and replaced it with an
unrecognisable 10 element wideband and loft "booster" that was not shown
(¡ê270 ...
