Time taken to set up and tune a new television set: four minutes.
Time taken to assemble the accompanying stand: three and a half hours.

It's my grandparents' TV, and they live on the 14th floor of a block of flats, so they're one of only 6 households in Scotland who can actually receive Five on analogue.

I think it was Albert Einstein who said that you should always have your own piece of furniture on which to stand the TV, then you don't need to crap about with the stand. (Einstein may have said 'bugger about', I'm not certain).

I thought all TVs had to sit on an old kitchen table, or a box of books that only nees opening every two months. I didn't realise they could work anywhere else.

Tremendous. So if we can find the other four households who can receive Five on analogue, you can all have a big get-together next time the football's on.

What's the difference between Edinburgh ITV and Glasgow ITV? Surely they're both STV?

Its really quite amusing to see the difference in the targeting of the marketers...

I love that new Abbey National ad - the girl on the blind date and the gorgeous hunk turns up
That never happened to me.

I can get 5 on analogue as well, out here in the sticks. And every month or two there's something worth watching on it as well

see. six degrees of separation, and we've found 3 of the 6 who can get 5 on analogue. Add in my parents, thats 4.
