Anyone Know If This Exists?


Recommended Posts

Hi.

Got an old but still good HP 20" LCD monitor. Its a VGA one with built in speakers.

I was wondering if I could use it in the kitchen and hook it up to a freeview STB (scart or composite) and an old standard def satellite box (HDMI, scart or composite)

Is there such a switchbox?

Thanks [emoji4]

Had a look.

It will certainly allow my satellite to be connected.

I was hoping I could buy a one box solution switchbox. Plug both into box then box into monitor.

I'm beginning to think such a box doesn't exist [emoji20]

Thanks.

I maybe wrong or missing the point, but if it's an old sky satellite box does it not give freeview channels even when subscription has lapsed?

No, its a Silvercrest box. Dish is pointing 13E to pick up Italian TV. This is why I need the Freeview box too.

An all in one switchbox would be better as its going in the kitchen. less mess.

Used to have one similar to this, except it had both scart and composite.

I took a look online.

I'd forgotten about cpc.

Found one switchbox but at Ā£384 I think I'll give it a miss [emoji20]

Very wise my friend. I'm looking at a 24" hdmi benQ monitor for my microscope camera at present only Ā£133 & it has speakers.

    • I'm guessing, but this commercial demag machine maybe produces random magnetic fields to re-randomiseĀ  the iron particles. So heres one for you, synthetic rubies are coloured predominantly with chromium oxide . But natural rubies and old synthetic watch rubies were also coloured with iron oxide in higher percentages than chromium oxide. Which gave them a degree of.................šŸ¤”
    • I've never had a hairspring distort on me by passing the movement or just the balance in a plastic pot over this demagnetiser. Have you seen how fast a cleaning machine spins to spin-off fluid and that does no harm to a hairspring. I was a little concerned when I first used it, thinking it might be too strong, but I was wrong. It is strong, but it does no damage. I pass the part over the demagnetiser and keep going for about an arms length, so about a metre, to properly demag the part.
    • I don't think you would be able to find spare parts. Your best bet would be to get a new movement from eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256508500506?itmmeta=01HY3M863PSA61GK7B859QCWTE&hash=item3bb9191a1a:g:ubgAAOSwrJJgPP-s&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4DxWhpiQiz2ZjKpm3PS%2FHPh4IafsSzMWEobc2q4qQWgPGMZ8kCR8y2PRsm7GE31FjeSDYSWcEyGlrpZEdQyyzOSgsgsaPjbP7dYmK8r49Nh%2BEtSqDDIZ8Tbp3vvX035fFXgcjc1GEH8l%2FOWJ9aTeWNGzeBgUwqyhJ3ZSXji50TQr6rd38Sqwaqsj2oc51UVKqqIKySKTfxVB7X09EXcJsmeYc5GCdVODNkb02q2RsxfSIzpgl9dFCmW1Ih%2BPg2j2NziSELg5AfaHl%2FPU2Zn9fNnoVN1Z1NUAREyh2BCubcWC|tkp%3ABk9SR_bhoPTwYw
    • Here's a thought. Try unscrewing the bezel and the crystal. If you have one of those sticky balls for undoing casebacks, I would give that a try.
    • Last week I noticed my Eco-drive's second hand was stopped at 12 o'clock. I left it in the sun for a few days and no change, so I figured it was time to replace the rechargeable battery. I've had this guy for at least 15 years. Replaced the battery and the seconds hand moved to about 5 o'clock and stopped there. I let it sit for a day in the sun, no change. I took the battery out and tested it, and it's at 1.4v. The old one was at 1.0v. I'd like to test if it's charging. I've been looking around for diagnostic info, but only been able to find the owner's manual. Anyone have a reference for it?
