3) I'd like to get better at digital photography. I have a Fujifilm camera but need to change its settings from night mode back to sharp day mode. Because I tried to take photos of an evening dance but the digital photos came out all wrong! :annoyed:

One or two nights ago, I managed to change the digital camera settings back to sharp day mode by reading the instruction manual and doing the correct steps. One smaller success :) towards the goal of improving my media communications and technology skills :-)

799363 2009-08-12 12:13:00 Nothing wrong with DVB-T's signal, in Mt Eden. I'm using it here (with a USB tv tuner) with a mini - aerial. Its heaps better and clearer than the TV and the outside aerial.

For those who do not know what DVB-T means, I think it means a digital terrestrial receiver enabling the viewer to receive the terrestrial digital TV signal.

Whether this also enables the signal to be converted into a TV picture, I think is another matter.

799364 2009-08-12 12:21:00 What? Course it converts it to a tv picture. Thats the point in getting / using it. Otherwise, I would be looking at a blank screen Speedy Gonzales (78)

Have the programs really improved that much? I may watch a bit of TV someday soon then, but I won't bother turning it on (I think that is where I went wrong earlier).

Thanks Speedy for your reply.

I'm not sure what happens after the signal goes through the air and into the aerial. It would be a raw signal until it is converted into a picture - unless I've got that incorrect.

Are you saying that your DVB-T aerial machine also does the conversion of the signal into the TV image? Or does the TV tuner card do that?

Can a DVB-T (with its own aerial) be connected to a flat screen TV too?

I agree that the signal itself is useless unless it is turned into a TV image.

799368 2009-08-13 09:34:00 It does come with a program to get the channels which helps (AverTV 6). Thats the program (that came with the USB tuner on CD), so you can scan for channels / view them. And record whatever.

Umm if the videocard has some kind of output on it (like for multi monitors etc), then yup, you can connect to a TV / whatever.

I cant do it on this but I could connect it to a TV, if I had a TV with an HDMI connection on it (which I havent got at the mo). The HDMI and VGA connections on the videocard are spare at the mo (I'm using the DVI for windows), so I could connect this to 2 more LCD's (if I had them), if they've got HDMI / VGA connections
