RE: Is this a good price for a TV?

Sony tv £979.99 @ amazon.co.uk
Tosh Tv over £900 on price compare
Cinema Kit £149.99 @ amazon again .

If they are selling these near you at that price . I would have a good look around the web to see what other prices you can find and if no where near what they are selling them for get yourself down there in the morning and bang on the door .

RE: Is this a good price for a TV?

Where from?

RE: DVD Recorder £119 +FREE £10.00 voucher

I`d be off to argos at that price if I did`nt already have one . £119 - £10 = £109.00 is a great price . No wonder vhs is at death`s door .

RE: Medion MD42167 Portable DVD

RE: Medion MD42167 Portable DVD

Checked It out now . This is a great bit of kit for the price .
Can confirm the following .

7" widescreen with 8 different zoom functions Screen Quality was a delight and handled picture movement superbly .
Upto 32x speed on FFW - RWD .
Stereo sound and headphones inc .
Plays DVD / CD / DVD-R / DVD+R / DVD-RW / DVD+RW / VCD
Used the multiregion hack and worked first time . will now play any region .
Remote control slimline complete with battery
AV - IN & OUT connection with switch ( can connect to larger tv or connect games console / camcorder to the portable screen )
Battery 3hrs fully charged . ( charge time 4 hrs ) This is great value as most other portable dvd players I have looked at their battery`s last around 2 or 2.5 hrs
Power lead inc .
Car Cigarette lighter conection Inc .
Carry Case with 2 compartments . 1 for the dvd player and the other for all leads .
Carry Case doubles up as in-car kit with straps inc . for the headrest .
Battery it the whole size of the dvd unit and connects underneath the dvd player .

This is a great bit of kit from Toys R us and I can highly recomend it . For £149.99 it comes with a lot of kit . As I said in my earlier post I can honestly see this being a good seller this christmas and may become difficult to find in stores nearer to christmas .

The battery will require charging before use I would be interested to know wether I could charge the battery now then wrap it up for xmas or would it be better to charge the battery christmas eve and wrap it up then . Any thoughts on this would be helpful .

RE: Medion MD42167 Portable DVD

Bought one today . There is no info on the web regarding this I,ve looked everywhere .
Emailed 5 people from the dvd hacks forum asking the same thing and had no replys .

Here`s what I know so far .

7" widescreen looked ok on the demo in store .
Plays dvd cd vcd dvd-r dvd+r
remote hackable with code found on this site .
Has in and out av connectability getting one of those sonic handheld thingy`s from argos
comes with car power adapter headphones carry/car case and 2hr battery

hope this helps i will let you know more as soon as I have tryed it out .

There was about ten slips to take the till and about an hour later there was only 2 left .
It may become hard to find in stock nearer to christmas as this it the best deal i could find next to the venturer 6.5" at argos .

RE: Travellodge £10 a night back on !

Oh yes I did ! :)

RE: Travellodge £10 a night back on !

Booked tickets to watch snow white while in newcastle at the royal theatre .

RE: Travellodge £10 a night back on !

Travelodge have debited my account already ! On the previous deals I have had it has always been the option to pay cash on the day of arrival or instruct them to debit your account with the card details provided in the booking . Strange !

RE: Travellodge £10 a night back on !

Hi jeff . It could well be that not all travelodges are offering this deal . Or that a particular travelodge you are looking at has sold out it`s discount rooms . Either try another location or check for a sunday night booking as these seem to sell last . Good luck !

RE: Travellodge £10 a night back on !

I have updated the link . works now !

Travellodge £10 a night back on !

RE: Recording Sky???

I had this problem with a panasonic vcr .

sky uses channel 69 on the rf bandwidth . but on the vcr it would only receive channel signals between 21 and 68 .

Might be worth checking this on yours . best of luck .
