As long term readers might remember, we picked up a Sony KDL 40W2000 LCD TV last year. Overall, I’m happy with the set, especially compared to the 20″ CRT we had previously, the clouding issues others reported aren’t too bad, unless you specifically go looking for it in dark scenes.
However, when watching satellite channels (through AV), we seem to get some audio bleed through from an RF TV channel. Has anybody else come across this issue before? I probably need to do a little fault tracing and see what alters the interference, but if anyone has already sorted this problem, I’d be grateful if you could leave a comment, or contact me. Thanks.

CSI Plotline Prediction
I enjoy watching NCIS, CSI, and Waking The Dead (the first two via some Swiss satellite channels, with the 2nd audio channel selected to retain the original English sound track, and the 3rd program from BBC Prime). Anyway, according to a Daily Telegraph article, the science behind finger print analysis has just jumped forward. Basically, it is now possible to gauge someone’s sex, race, and even diet from fingerprints lifted from a crime scene.
The good aspect of this news? The TV programs I mentioned will soon be able to deviate a little from their standardised plot lines, and who knows, maybe in real life we will even see more criminals put behind bars? The bad news? Well given the lengths police officers have gone to in the past to frame people not guilty of a crime they are accused of, if juries are presented with this sort of evidence in the future, I can see it being a lot easier to jail people who have done nothing wrong, and I’m only really considering places like Britain. In countries with less reputable policing, hard labour or even executions could be punishments handed out in cases where this method of investigation is used. That is just considering the judicial side of things, when it comes to profiling done by non-police forces, with data collation in mind, I imagine the hard core conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day with this. Forget the tin foil hats, be prepared to see people with latex gloves on 24/7, when outside the house.

Our Satellite Dish Is Aimed Accurately Again :)
For the last few months, most of the satellite channels have not been working in our house.
The winds and storms of the winter here had knocked the satellite dish out, so it was no longer pointed at the Hotbird satellite anymore.
This morning, the nice satellite installation guys came along, with their new testing equipment, popped up onto the roof, and now we have all the channels back again.
BBC Prime has returned :>
H_U_G_E thank you to them, and their boss Artyom.
