Bloody hell

[lnr]

By some miracle it actually arrived. Box slightly battered, polystyrene inside it all rather busted up too, but TV itself all in one piece and not even scratched. Managed to manhandle it out of box and onto coffee table while I got it wired up, and then shifted it into place once that was done. DVD player connected, and it all seems to work. Channel 5 reception is appalling, but then it always seems to be round here, and who cares when I expect we won't watch it much anyway. It all looks rather snazzy really. And the standby light on the DVD player is a blue LED instead of a red one :-)

I heard a rumour the other day - which I can't confirm for yself given how much TV I watch (or rather, don't watch) - that C5 have followed the trend that C4 had when new - they went from sucky and pushing the boundaries of taste and decency, to actually, surprisingly, rather good. Would be about time if it's true ;)

Hmmm, I suppose it could be possible that they're now hiding good programs behind a tantalising layer if interference. Alas, unless the reception improves the good folk of Bedford will never know :)
(although since I watch a fairly minimal amount of TV myself this isn't too great a loss!)
