Things done

[andrewducker]

Took the SCART switch back to Argos and bought a rather more expensive model online.  I've discovered that the current one corrupted the widescreen signal, and was also causing minor picture degradation - a decent one will men a higher quality picture, and the TV should switch formats automatically.

Ed's computer didn't like the new power supply - it died after about a week with it - and switching out the power supply worked - so I now have to return the old one to dabs and make a mental note to stop buying cheap things - they cause more hassle than they're worth in the long run.  I've got a returns number, but with Ed being away from Tuesday for a week there'll be nobody in for the courier, so that's delayed until his return.

The MVP is resolutely dead, and the tech support lines are Monday-Friday 9-6, which isn't terribly useful, as Tuesday is the first day I'll be able to call them.  So I emailed them, and will hopefully get a reply before then.

I've finally got to my hair - which is somewhat scary, but now back under control again.

Washing machine filled, dishwasher filled - freezer currently defreezing (pans of water boiling while I type).

Still to do: have shower, meet Nick at 5pm at the UGC to give him keys, help Lilian sort out her iPod synching and go to the supermarket to pick up some food, dishwasher tables and miscellanious nonsense.

I really don't understand how it's possible to muck up a scart signal up. I know it is - i've done it - but the whole bloody point of scart is that it's digital. Is making a decent 48 pin (whatever) switch *that* hard? :P.


And hair? Aaaaarrg....*hides*

SCART is _not_ digital. It's an analogue signal.

And there can be signal leakage fairly easily.
