Covid might scupper any chances though as most of the Friday workforce come from within Nottinghamshire, and they are set for tier 3!<br />Take care of yourselves.

Ian is going to link the TV to the satellite which should, hopefully, resolve any more problems.

Now I have no idea what insulation Pentland has but I'm going to put that down to the problem. To resolve any future issues Ian will link it to the satellite. Means more cable to run the length of FS but at least it will keep him busy (: <br />Good job Pentland is usually moored in the basin, she will only come out next to us when needed.Ian and Irene Jameisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15619780891302537493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169865556277364121.post-66228322666991814532020-10-24T16:44:03.473+01:002020-10-24T16:44:03.473+01:00I do love that painting on the property wall.

I'm hoping for more excursions with Pentland, it all helps to break the monotony of a winter mooring. I have purchased a painting by numbers though. Three Labs in a country environment. That should keep me occupied for a while.<br />All the best to you both.

Nowadays I just plonk our aerial down on the roof somewhere and tune the telly. If it doesn't work I plonk it somewhere else until it works. I must say that since we've had a Moonraker aerial it is very rare to not get any reception.<br /><br />In our house in Scarborough we get perfect reception from a bit of disconnected cable with no aerial at all!<br /><br />MickPip and Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05169230665256821649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169865556277364121.post-8383821163748606872020-10-24T01:13:52.216+01:002020-10-24T01:13:52.216+01:00Irene I would have thought your mother would have ...Irene I would have thought your mother would have explained this to you when you were very young.

If you're receiving a Vertical signal and if Pentland was moored next to you and possibly in the line of sight from your aerial to the transmitter than that might be the reason. If however your local transmitter is pushing out a Horizontal signal then I have no idea whatsoever.... Moral of story, moor Pentland at Trent Lock or read a book! 🤣🤣🤣KevinTOOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820971797758280402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169865556277364121.post-71772771384148383112020-10-23T20:32:54.541+01:002020-10-23T20:32:54.541+01:00Hi Irene, nothing to do with this post, but how ni...Hi Irene, nothing to do with this post, but how nice to be out again! We heard a fascinating programme on fishing on radio 4, 15th oct at 11.30. It was Chris Yates the carp man, at a secret location where there was rumoured to be a huge carp. He was just chatting in a lovely way about the whole business of sitting waiting queitly in nature as well as actually fishing and it was excellent. I forgot about it till you posted!<br />have a good winter<br />Debbynb Bonjourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09570964751076622402noreply@blogger.com
