*Sighs* Would you believe it? My digital camera is broken. So, unfortunately it’s a thing that will have to go unproved *blush*

My camera REALLY has broken - was fine last time I used it a few months ago, now seems to be something wrong with the CCD or whatever they use to detect the light. I’ve found two replacement cameras that I like…but no one seems to have them in stock. I might have to dig out my old Kodak digital for holiday time.

Hmph. Pictures or I don’t believe it.

(And I’ve already seen pictures of the TV.):-p

If I remember right the outputs at the front tend to be connected with spindly pathetic wires, which have to pass all the interference-causing pc components, so back ports might help (fingers crossed)

It was a close call between a 40 inch, 42 inch, 46 inch and 50 inch tv. I went for the 40 inch because:

1) I liked the picture better.
2) It was cheaper.
3) It means the couch can be closer to the TV giving me more computer desk space at the back of the room.
4) I like to show the world that I don’t need to buy the biggest TV, since I have nothing to compensate for :-P

Oh hey, I haven’t tried the audio ins on the back. And don’t worry, nothing’s too obvious for me at this stage. If it doesn’t get better I have to clean up my house so Dave can come and sort it out, and I’d rather not have to clean that hard. :p

Also, saw the pictures of your new setup and it looks sweet! Nice TV, remind me to come and stay with you when I am next in Scrogglywogs Bottom UK, or wherever you are. :p

Must be the week for leads - It’s certainly annoyed me this week. I bought an £800 tv and a £150 satellite dish, so you’d have thought they could have popped a couple of £4 leads in there wouldn’t you? Not a chance.

Then I had to look up HDMI leads to apparently get the best effect from the new HD Tv. At PC world one is around £50 (didn’t realise copper had gotten so expensive) and another one was about £10. Being a cheapskate I went to the local DIY store and got one for £4.

As to your “hum” problem, two things occur to me (and sorry if these are obvious and you’ve tried them):

1) Have you got a different audio in on your computer that you could try? The ones on the front of my machine don’t seem as good as the ones on the back, so you might have a similar problem.

2) Try turning the recording volume on the pc right down.
