OT: Where's Peter Brereton / Camcorder Surgery gone?
Tue, 14 Jul 2009 04:55:33 -0700 (PDT)
Does anyone know Peter Brereton?
He runs this company...
http://www.klent.co.uk/
...and I've been unable to get hold of him via phone, email, or snail
mail for over a month.
He still advertises on Google (search for camcorder repairs).
Cheers,

I watched the politics show today while Andrew Neil was grilling the defence

DVD widescreen problem

the DVD has been playing for a few minutes. It seems to work OK with
widescreen discs.
So, what do people ...

Acording to The Guardian this morning, TC (main block) has just been

Sun, 5 Jul 2009 17:00:22 +0000 (UTC)

new flyleads for my little bedroom set, but the same thing shows up at
my parents' house a few miles away too. Haven't seen this before
today, and it's only affecting BBC One; ...
