Freeview "last" channel re-arrangement on 30th September
Mon, 21 Sep 2009 22:38:00 +0100
Didn't know about this until elderly neighbour came across with the
Digital "ceefax" page about this stuck on her tele and the warning
message at switch-on.
Having browsed the DTG website, I can see where they are going - moving
Ch5 to a BBC MUX so it gets better coverage rather than being on a MUX
that isn ...

"Platform Neutral" BBC ignores Freesat
Mon, 21 Sep 2009 02:47:06 -0700 (PDT)
I see that 16 months after launch, BBCi still isn't fully supported on
Freesat.
"Press the red button for coverage of <something>" - unless you have
Freesat, when you can forget about all that extra sport, music, etc
being available via the red button!
Is there any date published for when the streams are goin ...

It is not a measure of the number of atoms, or of the ratio of force
applied to an object to its resulting acceleration. The SI system of
units used to be called the MKS system, standing for
Metre-Kilogram-Second. You can see from this that actually the Kg is
one of the fundamental units, defined in the first pl ...

The Wrekin Channel Allocations
Fri, 18 Sep 2009 14:09:33 -0700 (PDT)
Something I've wondered about for years...
Why, when the standard channel allocations on Group A transmitters
which use those channels is almost always (from BBC1 to C4)
33-26-23-29, the Wrekin allocations have got BBC1 and 2 reversed, i.e.
26-33-23-29?
There doesn't seem to be any logical reason for it, and ...

Hijacking some of a satellite transponder bandwidth
Fri, 18 Sep 2009 07:42:36 -0700 (PDT)
I was reading an old satellite technology magazine that said that in
the 1980's there were organisations who would hijack part of a
satellite transponder and use it for their own nefarious purposes.
Apparently they even made their added signals (analogue days remember)
symmetrical so that they were harder to spot. ...

Interesting discussion. Here's some food for thought:
If a sealed container does *not* allow particles to pass its walls but
*does* allow loss of energy via exchange of thermal radiation with its
outer environment, then a chemical reaction within that container could
increase the temperature within that contain ...
