Wow. That was so good that I couldn't bear to watch it any more. I have moved on to other c**p.:laugh:

Its annoying when that happens, the film looks good on the website but ten minutes in you're reaching for the mouse to turn it off.

Wellesbourne the destination, 53 miles the journey. A lovely bright autumnal morning, cold at first but getting a bit warmer on the way back, a bit of a breeze making for a quick and fun ride down, but a slower ride home into it. A regular route out through Balsall Common then the short route out to Hatton and on through Norton Lindsy, left further down then right onto the A46 for a couple of hundred yards then left to cross the Stratford road and drop down into Hampton Lucy, past Charlecote Park and onto Wellesbourne and the Sandwich Delli. On the way back I just reversed the route out, meant climbing out of Hampton Lucy to the A46, then when I turned off the main road a lovely descent before I turned to climb up through Norton Lindsey, when I got to Hatton I changed the route slightly to take me through Beausale and onto the A4177 by Honily Boot, now the Honily Court and back on the route out to ride through Balsall Common across Coventry and home. An ecxelent mornings cycling, I enjoyed that one.

More TV help required. We usually connect our TV by connecting the incoming aerial feed to the BT box and connecting the BT box to the TV. The BT box is several years old and we no longer use BT for broadband. The only reason to do this is Mrs P likes to record stuff, especially ITV to skip through ads.

If I connect as above the screen breaks up, pixelates, BBC 1 and 2 are especially poor.

I have bought a new cable to connect the box to the TV and tried two old ones. Same results. If I jiggle the cables gently the image is OK for short periods.

If I plug the incoming aerial directly in to the TV everything is fine. This is a so called "smart" TV and everything else works as it should.

Every instinct says the box is nackered. Before I shell out +/- £200 on a Humax box is my logic correct?

Nice run round Loch Creran but very cold even in the sunshine. Need to get out the winter trousers tho’ my feet were not cold unlike my hands which were. Surprising amount of traffic but school holidays I suppose and refugees from the plague pits. More than I expect even in mid summer.
The picture is from my start point and round the other side before returning. Did not go the whole circuit as there are traffic lights under Creagan Bridge which would not give me time to get through and no escape to one side. A tandem couple just made it so I would have no chance.
