@AdamManning Sounds very nerdy so should be perfect. Thanks for tip - repeated at 0330 (iplayer 2 of cource) #bbc4
@sxa555 I think it's you, @OzoneVibe @EmpireSteve & myself so far.
Is it really that time #gotobedfail
Playstation phone. Oh ok.
An update on my @skyhd affair - http://bit.ly/8XDya6 - not heard any more. Anyone written to the directors to provide a case study?
@sxa555 Theres 4 of us. Looks like we'll get a group ticket from Eastleigh.
RT @Tuesdaytweetup: @dailyecho Next #tweetup: Tue 2nd Nov. Duke of Wellington, Bugle St, Soton - 6pm till late! Plz let me know if atten ...
And whilst talking about london - remember theres a @F1Badger london meetup for brazil gp http://bit.ly/aSAs8E
@sxa555 @OzoneVibe @EmpireSteve 11:11 ESL arr 1242 & grab light lunch/coffee. OR earlier & do photowalk or big lunch?
@OzoneVibe i've emailed @southwesttrains customer service about group4 ticket validity
@OzoneVibe lunch absorbing liquids? If so the 10:11? - would give us 2 hours . Can do earlier f req Chinatown/buffet? @sxa555 @EmpireSteve
@EmpireSteve @OzoneVibe @sxa555 diff of opinion on photowalk vs lunch. chk weather few days b4. Thunk some lunch needed tho.
@OzoneVibe Indeed... Journeys can be broken too - so do we all have to pile off nd drag you through barriers?
@OzoneVibe And can 3 people travel legitimately on a group 4
@OzoneVibe last time i called nte about a much simpler question they didn't really know...
@OzoneVibe I love the email "we aim to provide a full reply within 20 working days". Ioff on horseback to the indian subcontinent or what!
@OzoneVibe Nothing like organizations aiming high with their response times for electronic communications. this phone focus BUGS ME
@OzoneVibe the auto response from @southwesttrains also said to contact nte about train fares -- not sure if cond/use falls same category
@OzoneVibe I've now emailed @nationalrailenq /group 4 validity and their estimated response time is 24 hours. More like it.
In case anyone's wondering about the daytime tweeting *I am on vacation today* - avoiding first guests, now awaiting niece/nephew..
I should probably do some tidying up...
@SlyRenard Always have. originally (will/conq) was summer law court break, whilst holiday was special religious day. i
@SlyRenard i know H used more in UK, V in us, but V originates I guess from the french? I guess I follow canadian approach: synonyms
Slight difference to @skyhd. Just called @ThreeUKLatest and spoke to pushpa. Took a while to get issue sorted but really helpful/polite #win
@skyhd Hope have a/c info. Can you confirm callback request in queue. If so pls use num beg 02 today
keyboard s missinghracters.l?
keyboard now seems ok. Looks like my wireless kbd battery had run out !
next issue with hdtv - old dvd player has no audio delay setting, nor does amp (same device)
So looks like I'm going to have to either (at a min) a) Get a cheap bluray even for DVDs or b) for out £££ for a proper surround amp
Samsung [integrated ctrl] 5300 or 5500 (what's diff?) could be a cheap bluray - or Sony BDS370 [to get bravia service as well as samsung]
@jon_read yes, will need audio delay.
@jon_read DVD is old - only scart out. cheapest 90% fix is probably a cheap bluray - though I'd still need an optical switch
@jon_read the proper solution is an AV amp.
oh this HD stuff is too complicated/£££ TV is the easy bit...
@RhiannonMLane though the train is never 1 hr -- just the checkin time/parking etc time can add a lot more. still equation in favour tho
@jon_read I could change processing settings to reduce lag, but with old dvd more proc better I guess
@RachaelEdwards yes let me know which shop! thx
Any comments on sony STRDA2400 7.1 amp ? Good for managing delay for lcd/sky/blueray?
@RachaelEdwards ALso am interested if it has the ability to add audio delay (to solve lip sync issues)?
Can current samsung BluRay players have ability to add a timed delay (like skyhd) to lipsync A/V, and/or can do this auto with samsung tv?
I remain amazed that there are lipsync issues with lcd tvs/dvd/bluray. Never thought about it (oops). Wondering if any fix except amp
Ok my latest thoughts on my audio issues http://bit.ly/bQNNTl also on avforums http://bit.ly/bpGScc . Sheesh this is hard.
Looks like I'm taking a few days out just to sort out my audio problems!
@sxa555 one example - DVD in via scart. Audio direct from DVD. Also sky using optical 5.1 to amp. (looping via TV works but is only 2.1)
@sxa555 TV only negotiates 2.1 -- this seems to be a problem across the industry
@sxa555 Of course plasma has much less processing delay. LCDs have more. More processing - adds even more. Can disable but...
@jon_read thanks for warning. I notice many of the current players have fast start as a selling point,
Exploring the #lovefilm app on internet@tv. Only sd but not at all bad. Thinking may be worth the £ (on trial currently)
@OzoneVibe @f1badger having trouble with bitly - whats real url?
@incapete do you use optical out on bluray? If so do you get any lipsync issues?
@joebycro its a hidden secret of hd. When i got the tv it dawned on me. Cant understand how its still such an issue
@sxa555 yes i can tell. So can the kids. Its probably 100ms+
@sxa555 @joebcro so does everyone else jut put up with this cr*p. Looks like i need to spend 200+@o amp or delay unit to address....
@SlyRenard am on a 3 for 1 trial at mo. Thx.
@jon_read yes and that should help. Need to try but will degrade dvd upscale. May work ok with bd tho. Act tv has special bd setting.
@jon_read yes it is. Only 2.1 audio. No dts/dd (tho analogue prologic will work). A big technology #fail / #cockup if you ask me
@OzoneVibe thanks. Have signed up. @f1badger
@OzoneVibe replies came in fro swt and nte. In both cases. No. Said we'd be invalid esl-wincg
@OzoneVibe maybe we will need gp3 esl-winch and gp4 winch-london. That should be legitimate. Will cost slightly more but between 4 cheaper?
@OzoneVibe i think gp3 and gp4 are diff tkts though same price. Not sure..
@RachaelEdwards it looks like it prob doesn.t maybe ask hubs if you connect bluray audio direct to amp. If so interested in if it works ok
@EmpireSteve just lazy phone typing
@OzoneVibe maybe ask in wcr if you are going past about combo gp3/4 idea. If workable we could split total cost 4way and prob easier ?
@OzoneVibe very good. No red wine wine left here. @PeachyF1
@OzoneVibe technically no it seems (well not for us). Umm. Will look into more tomorrow #whyisnothingsimple
So one puppy purchaser pulled out for pers reasons. So have 1 6.5wk cockapoo available. If you know anyone interested pls let me know

@EmpireSteve wish i could condition my brain to ignore lipsync issues. Sadly not that easy. Will prob end up being £££ to the rescue
@EmpireSteve and even trying to fix with new ht amp is thwarted. Most amps it seems have only a global delay setting not per input
@EmpireSteve and buries in setup rather than easy to change. Oh )'("\_()&_-()&
@OzoneVibe yep
@RachaelEdwards the new tv is a samsung with internet@tv so is good for avis iplayer youtube lovefilm etc
@RachaelEdwards ah your dad has a cockapoo too? Photos? Wife was hooked after visiting friend in states that had one
Just watched #apprentice - not always so clear who should go, but this time delighted melissa left
thought melissa was so bitter and unprofessional after being fired #apprentice
@ladyofsalzburg if you go for an imax viewing it can get close to £11 - try and go on Orange Wednesday when possible!
@EmpireSteve she's clearly trying to show a different image on the "you're fired" show.
@ladyofsalzburg Oh in our odeon they do allow 2 for 1 on 3d/imax -- apart from I think the glasses charge. I think vue gives 2/1 on base
@ladyofsalzburg price, but not the additional 3d charge
reading more about hdmi and audio ...:-( http://bit.ly/b994uM
RT @EmpireSteve: @planetf1 Seen the news? Caprica has been cancelled in the US with immediate effect. Leaving 5 episodes TBB. Why does t ...
@EmpireSteve That is pants. I quite enjoyed #caprica. Canceled. Another #flashforward :-( But I guess we'll have ~ 10eps in new year
@RachaelEdwards Ahh. I think poppy looks a little bigger than our cockapoo . Lovely temperament .
