Grrrr....telly up the swanee

[Board Game Geek]

Sigh,

A week before Xmas and the blimmin television set goes on the blink.

(It's a Ferguson 3821 which has served well for 25 years or so).

So I just logged on to Dixons or whatever they are called these days and tried to do a search for new B&W tellys and couldn't find a single one.

I don't tend to watch a lot of telly, perhaps an hour a week, so buying a colour telly AND a colour licence seems a bit excessive.

Any ideas ?

Any ideas ?

don't be so tight and get a 40" Samsung LCD.

Go down to your local tip, there is usually a good collection of tellys, washing machines, etc

Get it fixed?

Or just download whatever you watch and use your PC monitor.

ebay!

Would be easy to fix, if there was anyone still about who could fix it.

Go back in time and get someone for us!

Threaded, shouldn't you be able to fix it?

After all, you taught that kid from Helensburgh everything he knew!

Yeps I could fix it, probably have everything except a new tube in a box round here somewhere, but think the transportation costs would be a little high.

What about Xoggoth, he'd be closer I'd guess?

[PRC1964]

Good idea. It'd be much more fun watching Xoggy than the tulipe that gets broadcast.

I'm not sure if he's fully house trained though.

You could buy a USB TV receiver for the PC, they are pretty cheap and the TV detector people would have trouble proving you owned one?
