I gave my old Goodmans Freeview Box to a friend for her bedroom TV. That TV has now gone to the great Currys in the Sky, so she's bringing it back. Goodmans are crap, but it will be better than nothing, I suppose. (Of course, this time, I shall have to remember to plug in the cable that I forgot to plug in last time I had it!  ). Hopefully, it will last me long enough for me to get my act together, get all my old TVs and videos, etc, taken away, and treat myself to a new TV. Trouble is, these new fangled TVs won't last nearly as long as the old-style ones do. |

Nothing lasts these days. I have a new kettle every year, near enough.

We go through a lot of things like that. Toasters and kettles seem to have the highest turnover, though. We've had our television for years and connect it through our Kindle Fire Stick, or an old Kindle Fire.

Must admit to buying a very expensive toaster (using vouchers) and it has lasted for years.

Most toasters bought years ago have lasted a long time. You wait until you need a new one.

Well, I've got my old Goodmans box back from my friend, and even though it worked perfectly well for her, it is still pixelating and sound going off. The higher up the channel numbers, the worse it gets.
I'll just have to put up with it until I decide to bite the bullet and get a new TV, and get someone to cart away all my old TVs and videos.
*sigh*

I have two TVs (built in freeview) one of the TV's was an ancient Sony trinitron CRT job. and two humax PVR's, they have worked fine occasionally freezing, and from time to time a recording would fail, sometimes due to running out of space but sometimes it would just say in the listing that it had failed.
I recently replaced the trinitron with a flat screen Panasonic, (not new some bodies cast off). The PVR connected to the Panasonic works sometimes. Anything set on series link before the change always works, but anything set after doesn't always, it never tells you it's failed. And sometimes whilst watching something else the Chanel set to record will flash up in top left, say recording, but it doesn't, I set Murdoch to record and this series I have 3 episodes. Drive isn't full. Any ideas?
