I'm in the Primary Class after buying a relatively cheap Toshiba 42" Smart TV. I fiddled with the aerial, got a superb picture and fiddled about with a scart thing that has selectable outlets. So I can get DVD's using the old DVD player. The next trick was to get the satellite up and running. However, this isn't an ordinary UK thing- it is French and onto an normally English configuration. The French- like them or not have superb coverage of engineering and farming and whatever topics. My son is a French graduate, a former stagiare and owns a French farmhouse. My wife speaks almost as fluent French as him. I'm pretty good as we owned several French properties. So I finally bit the bullet and bought unlimited broadband and I'm getting the Internet now. Again, I've a library of some 32GB of engineering books and articles which will be readable along withg my Kindle and Ipad and tablet. OK, I dropped a bit of a clanger and bought a new DigiBox. So I've moved this into one of our bedrooms and it would suggest that for a bit of Ethernet cable that I can have everything from elsewhere.
On the cards, are the coupling up of the HiFi system which has amplifiers- and better loudspeakers.
I'm still trying to run CNC and fancy putting something to watch progress as my shed with all my stuuff in is---COLD.
Cheers
