Reply to: Grrrr....telly up the swanee

Cheers for the suggestions, the Freecycle thing sounds interesting. I had a quick look at my local area's postings and there are 1 or 2 tellys on there, but they are colour, so I'd still have to buy a colour licence.

I think I'll just give up the box completely to be honest and spend the extra hour on the puter.

It depends on what I record...

I've already wrapped up the Humax pvr ready for Christmas day...

Is that some kind of sex-toy?

[cojak]

(PS - I've got a portable b&w telly if you want it...)

This is my next telly

I'm determined to bring Mr Cojak kicking and screaming into the 21st century...

You can get a 40" plasma easily in black or white. Here's a small pink TV, if that's any help.

This is so spooky; my freeview box went on the blink this morning too. Has anyone else had things go wrong? I think something is going on and we need to be told.

Yep.. our 7 year old JVC widescreen TV broke a week or so ago... waiting on the parts to come in... getting a bit close to crimbo and I'm getting nervous.

Currently watching tele on my old vintage 1989 Commodore 14" monitor with a video feed from the DVD recorder and sound via the surround setup

I’ve just been down to Argos at Old Street and spent 15 quid on a new one. Not a bad price, but I could do without spending it.

Bloody 'eck, someone even tighter than me. I fully respect your non-consumerism BGG, keep the faith.

I don't tend to watch a lot of telly, perhaps an hour a week, so buying a colour telly AND a colour licence seems a bit excessive.

Any ideas ?

Blimey, I thought that the cheeper B&W licence went up the swanney years ago.....

Sigh,

A week before Xmas and the blimmin television set goes on the blink.

(It's a Ferguson 3821 which has served well for 25 years or so).

So I just logged on to Dixons or whatever they are called these days and tried to do a search for new B&W tellys and couldn't find a single one.

get a flash new tv and a games machine and transform your life from bored gamer to thrill seeker. or give up that hour and forget tv completely. it is dying out anyway.

You could buy a USB TV receiver for the PC, they are pretty cheap and the TV detector people would have trouble proving you owned one?

[PRC1964]

Good idea. It'd be much more fun watching Xoggy than the tulipe that gets broadcast.

I'm not sure if he's fully house trained though.
