There's no single answer. In some places and old coat hanger will do it. It all depends one where you live, how far from a transmitter and where on the house you are able to fix an aerial. And, the DTT tests are not available everywhere. Best thing is to ask your neighbours.

It might work in the attic if the signal is strong enough. You'd just have to try it and see. For DTT, I just use an indoor aerial, near a window, facing generally towards where the signal is coming from.

Two possibilities - 1: Someone else is using your license key. 2: You've modified your machine to a point where the OS thinks it's been moved to a different machine. Try reinstalling your OS from the original media and then re-apply the license key from the certificate you go with it. This...

Windows 7 is just a way of making money of our people who are bogged down in Vista and are hoping that 7 will solve the problems.

You can save a bundle by ditching Sky, but you'll lose the movies and foootie. You'll get BBC, ITV, C4 etc from a FTA system. An aerial will be needed for RTE etc. It's the same aerial whether it's DTT or analogue. So, you can't lose on that. For the better quality of DTT (albeit not...

I'd say you must be quite close to a transmitter to get RTE with no aerial (assuming you're not on cable with NTL or UPC).

Well, you can't get RTE TV on a satellite dish unless you're paying Sky. You can get RTE radio for free though. How do you call up RTE, is it in the same list as the FTA channels such as BBC or do you press a buttoon (such as '1') on the TV remote?

How are you getting Irish channels without a terrestrial aerial or a Sky subscription? Can you give details?

No, it's not possible.

There are two ways of using a CDRW: DLA- Drive letter access (treats it like a hard disc....kind of) Using disc burning software, e.g. 'Roxio' or 'Sonic'. You don't say what kind of computer operating system you have, so it's difficult to be more precise. But - normally, you don't format a...

I'd say that's a 'no' unless you've got a really big aerial and a good location...and...and... Best & most reliable option is FreeSat.

Yes. No. DAB uses VHF signals from land-based transmitters, just like FM radio. You might get extra channels if the owners think its worth their while to pay the cost of transmitting from them. Sky uses satellite, you need a dish and a satellite tuner (can be a FTA tuner).

Re: Zamano and the Unwanted Mobile Charges Regtel is funded by the premium rate industry. They exercise feather light control and often are unable to properly identify businesess hiding behind a layers of aliases and other companies. They're afraid to clean up the industry as it would affect...

Problem with the high-def and the hard-disc cameras is that they record in compresssed formats and are very poor with moving subjects. The main benefit is the speed of transfer to computer or disc. With DV, the capture straightforward and is via FireWire.It will take 30 minutes to capture 30...

That was last year. No need now, Channel 4 and Five are available without any card, just like BBC and ITV. And it's totally legit. No dodgy boxes or cards needed. Basicly FreeSat gives you all the best UK channels but you need an ordinary aerial for the 4 Irish ones. The 'FreeSat' satellite...

I get all the RTE channels but not all 80's etc. Try moving to a different side of the house and re-scan. Digital signals are not like FM, they cut out completely when the signal gets low.

Yes, that's it.

I had big problems with them cold-calling me and even though each time I'd tell them not to call me again & point out that I was on the 'do-not-call' list, they'd ring again. Also, they refused to provide a managers name and the address of the company's registered office. I think some of the...

Do you run Skype or something like that? It makes small noises when your contacts come online and go offline.

With real books, you can swap them with your friends or give them to charity shops when you're finished with them. I think eBook readers are a solution chasing a problem that's mostly in the minds of the rights-holders.
