Their's then.... :D

My aerial could do with being replaced, well, the pole could, but then if the pole gets replaced, then everything else might aswell be replaced at the same time... :D

Except that to replace the lashing would be a hairy affair as on the other side of the chimney is a long drop down to my alleyway.... :eek:

I'll wait until it collapses (the aerial, not the chimney!!!)... :D

Well I spoke to LG ........ They said get a new Ariel ......... :-doh2 ....... Useless gitz )(-red

So ........ I don't think I'll bother there .......... But I'll put a signal amplifier after the Hdd recorder in the loop as a final & last ditch attempt to make it work...... U-zzz

No one can say I ain't trying :-doh!

Tell LG that the TV is faulty, you have replaced your aerial, there is no fault with the install as indicated by the PVR/DVD-R, and you want it refunding. You have loads of legal rights which they have to follow otherwise they're breaking the law... ;)

Then buy a TV that works... :D

LG LCD screens are usually good as PC monitors, but add some cheap gubbins to turn it in to a TV is just a waste of money, but that's my opinion, I see lots of cheap, but very good, LCD TVs and plasmas in the shop where I work so there are lots to choose from away from the leading brand names... :)

Personally, I'm happy with my ol' 21" TV set, it work, there's little HD content I'm interested in so there's no point upgrading just yet... :D
