OT: weather forecast
Wed, 7 Oct 2009 05:01:43 +0100
Big headlines all night on the BBC weather: SEVERE WEATHER WARNING.
Sombre-faced forecaster comes on to tell of heavy rain. In the fine detail
we find that this affects only one little corner of the country. Guess which
one. A look at the met office forecast shows that the bad weather is
expected to be confine ...

OT(?) : DAB Digital Radio reception
Tue, 06 Oct 2009 10:49:23 +0100
I can get good DAB Digital Radio reception on various mains and battery
powered receivers when upstairs in my house. They show full signal.
Downstairs however, zilch. Not a burble.

STB chipset uDP61115 pin-outs?

chip (I've tri ...

Personally I think these captions are a little too vag ...
