Paging computerists

The idea was that you can plug this thing in, about the size of a box of
ship matches and if the TV licence bods come round, you can whip if out
quick smart and say you were watching a DVD.

I don't have a telly that works here and the thing below is the ideal
thing.

Arse.

Double arse.

It is the PAL TV tuner link you want. The really cheap one is the same
but comes with no remote control.

 

Does it have /need an aerial connection?

I think it needs one. The bobble on the top looked like a fancy receiver
to me but a quick squiz at the manufacturers website reveals it does
need an aerial connection.

Not quite as portable as first thought then, and certainly not as "I was
watching a DVD, yer honour"able.

Bugger!

Still, I might still buy one and see how it goes, I mean having a
coaxial cable in your house isn't evidence of watching TV is it?

Pulling the plug at the vital moment in Neighbours could prove annoying
though.

 

That really is a nice little app for techno nerds. Wonder how it stacks
up against SiSoft's Sandra? Looks very similar...

What about a bit of wire cut to the right length?

Those mini 2" screen TVs seem to do alright on a telescopic antenna.

If you buy one first you can let me know if it works ;o)

Bacon on a string?

 

On the Dimensions, HT can be disabled in the bios. I don't have a 5150
handy to check, but I presume it would be similar.

 

Slightly before IMO. Just like all soap operas. That's assuming the thing
is on anyway.
