LITEON 2026 DVD HDD PICTURE COLOUR PROBLEM

Hi ,just bought the above,great bit of kit .
Records great with no problems.
However I have noticed this, If I play tv through the Liteon ,the solid
colours like say the blue or red on Sky News tend to flicker quite a lot
and when I turn the Liteon off the picture is fine, I tried connecting with
the yellow, red &black leads as well as the scart but it made no difference
Someone said try an " Attenuator " anybody know if that would help.
It seems to be something to do with interferenc when the motor in the
Liteon is running. I hope I can resolve this problem I really like it and
dont really want to take it back

Thank`s TED

Has anyone tried this one .is it any good ? TED

TEVION 160GB DIGITAL DVD/HDD RECORDER £229.99

This will be sold at Aldi this Thursday 20th October.
Seams like a cracking buy, Ideal world had a 160GB Liteon one last week for £235ish and Qvc had one the other night a Samsung 80GB but no pause live tv for about £245ish.
The Aldi one has 3 year guarantee so I think I will go for that one. TED

RE: Any Electrical Discounts

RE: Cheap Play Equipment at B&Q

Thank`s a lot for that brilliant Link TED

RE: Cheap Play Equipment at B&Q

"
"Did they take any money off you?

I presume so ,I had it on my B&Q card so it will appear on my next statement

RE: Cheap Play Equipment at B&Q

It seems they have done this "over selling" on a number of things.
After reading the original post I ordered the swing set I was thrilled so were my grandkids. I recieved confirmation of my order by Email ,phoned b&q to check delivery ,they said item was with the currier,gave me their tel no. I phoned them and was given a date for delivery, 2 days before delivery I recieved a card confirming delivery ,sat in all thur`s morning;NO SWING. I phoned B&Q and was told OUT OF STOCK. No offer of redress was made I have made 6 phone calls to various B&Q Customer service dep`ts and have got nowhere We cant let them get away with this I too need help, would TRADING STD`S be interested ?
I did check the stock levels when I ordred mine there was over 100 swings in stock and have been told by B&Q it does`nt work on a first come first serve basis ,
I didn`t even get a call to say I wasn`t getting one.
As far as I can see I have a LEGAL Contrect as will many others and they should at least offer an alternative ,What made matters worse was I sold the swing& slide the kids had got to make way for the new one., AND one final thing you will note these swings are now appearing on Ebay for £150.00 I AM SICK So cummon somebody Give us some direction where do we stand LEGALLY.. TED

RE: Cheap Play Equipment at B&Q

Thank`s Great bargains I am also looking for a swing set , well done

RE: 20" Lcd Tv Which One?? Last day of Argos 20% off Lcd Tv`s

The beauty of buying from Argos is you can try it out and if you are not satisfied you can take it back no questions asked, that`s why I buy all my elec stuff from there, so you have nothing to lose, go on Try the Mikomi out and let us know what you think of it

RE: 20

Has anyone seen the AOC 20" LCD TV on display at PC World,Although I suppose the same problem with the resolution for pc would exist, still a really good picture

RE: 20" Lcd Tv Which One?? Last day of Argos 20% off Lcd Tv`s

Yes I can understand every word, and thank you for your imput it it very helpfull.
Have you tried changing the resolution on the your computer for the 20" to see if it will accept anything higher ? I had a Toshiba 20" and you could on that to 1024x768 its just a pity the tv pic was useless or I would have kept it, anyway top marks for being shrewd enough to try 3 models Thank`s again TED

RE: 20

Yes they certainly will want the vouchers back and
Please let us know which one you choose and why, particularly the resolution side of things Thank`s TED

RE: Liteon LVW 5005 is it worth getting?

I too have the 5005 from Argos, It does exactly what I wanted it to do "ie to replace my video recorder" ,for the price it does a very good job ,very easy to use, I dont need to update
the firmware because as I said it does all I wanted out of the box

Jimbo : oÞ

You were right about Pin 19, thank`s very much for the advice
TED

RE: LVW-5005 from argos

"what is a 3hr hack?"

Is it a 3 hr Horse ride in the country !!! ? :( :(
Or is it a way of getting a 3 hr recording on a machine that at the moment only records in 1,2 ,4 and 6 hr settings according to the quality you want .
3hr recording good for recording a full film ie about 2 1/2 hrs :D :D
TED

RE: Liteon 5005 TV interference when recording

I am having a similar problem,although I only notice the interference (like slight watery shadows rolling over the screen from right to left ) when there is a blue screen as when changing Sky channels. My sky box is sitting ontop of the Lit 5005 and like you the picture is affected when the motor in the recorder is running.
Someone suggested putting an anti static matt or similar between the two ,if that doesn`t work I will try changing the Scarts

LCD TV

I am thinking of buying a Toshiba 20" LCD TV from Argos for £499. as a pc monitor.
Has anyone tried a LCD tv as a monitor ?
Is the resolution likely to be as good for photographs etc ?
I am using a Samsung SyncMaster 173B which is exellent with Pivot technology
but could use a decent TV with av imputs
Is it worth the swap

Thank`s TED.
