Didn't have a problem with setting up the picture to my taste - unlike a previous Samsung where I had to Google to find how to get it back to a normal picture. But I have a small Samsung Q-led in the kitchen (actually an LCD) which is OK too. One thing that does annoy with the LG. Call up the EPG, and the arrow between the channel and contents is often absent. The one which allows you to to go back from current time, and use catch-up (if available). Switching on and off can restore it - but not always. So sometimes have to use this function on my Humax PVR which always does work.

I think we are now reaching the peak of tv picture quality with only larger sizes and more brightness likely to change. My oleds are fine in daylight for brightness and the main part of the display is probably only around1/8 inch thick.

I can see how it might be able to buffer five seconds of audio, but a set this old could not possibly have enough memory to hold five seconds of video. If I swap channels then swap back it is again in sync, so it is not a transmission problem. It does have a built in DVD player.

I used to stand at the apex of a tunnel mouth and be enveloped in smoke and steam - once initiated, it never leaves you! A tale about steam railways: For my 80th Birthday Bash, I chartered a Train! Dining on board restored Pullman carriages, steam hauled, of course! This was operated by the Bluebell Railway in Sussex. I first became aware of the Bluebell Line when a chap from the next village discovered I was BBC, and asked me to record some sound FX for a slide show. He was then the official photographer for the railway and I was impressed with his attic darkroom where he enlarged and developed his own colour prints. This was in the late 50's, long before home use digital colour cameras and printers. I am a native of the Isle of Wight and learning that the railways there were subject to Dr. Beeching's slashing cuts, wondered if the Bluebell Preservation Society could move over there and turn the Island into a working steam musuem and even run scheduled services. This was not possible as the cost of transporting their carefully restored rolling stock was prohibitive. An awful shame, as a consortium of well-heeled businessmen could have been persuaded. Alan Pegler managed to raise funds to purchase the Flying Scotsman, and even took it to the USA for a promotional trip, although the second venture resulted in bankruptcy. (see TV programme Train Truckers for how things are done, now.) It could have been a massive world-wide tourist attraction. I may have posted these pics before, but never mind!

Message-ID: I noticed the rear wheel, as well! Also from Nick's photo, the top of the radiator grill strongly resembles the profile of the recognisable Rolls Royce still used, today.

Posted by Daniel Hall. ?========= Good morning, members. I'm currently producing a documentary and am currently trying to trace these crew for a research call. They all worked on the BBC's 1974 transmission of Eurovision: John Tiley (Senior Camera Op), Bill Harris (Film Editor), Brian Whithouse (Postcards Film Editor), Martin Stringer (Graphics), Clive Potter (Engineering Mgr), Tommy Thomas (Lighting), Chris Holcombe (Sound), John Burrowes (Design). I would appreciate very much if my contact details could be forwarded onto them with a request they consider helping me on a research call. I can be found on danielhall at roganproductions.co.uk. Also (of course) anyone else not listed above who was present in Brighton for that fantastic broadcast. Many thanks. ???======== Best Regards Alec Sent from my mobile phone. Apologies for any strange autocorrections... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
