daftykinsprimered6: perhaps for your own usecase, however i have travelling business folk clients16:07
daftykinshehe16:07
arsenipfranly the only reason i have 500gig SSD in mine is because i dont want to ever have to delete stuff16:08
arsenipi can't see many businesses using >100gig on a workstation unless its a creative industry (sound/video processing)16:08
bashrc_nobody will ever need more than 640K16:09
arsenip:D16:09
* daftykins groans at the cliché16:10
diddledan_I use > 100G on my laptop for business16:10
arsenipi basically work out of crhome and a terminal, so my 500gig exists for random junk downloads and videos to watch on flights. :D16:10
daftykinsi wish i knew who this office opposite was, i'd tell 'em they can save money by turning off their damn screens at night :P16:13
* daftykins keeps using Firefox tab groups before it gets removed in FF 45 :(16:15

awilkinsWindows eats like 60G or something now?16:25

daftykins10 comes with that funky install shrinking tech16:30
hexhaxtronAnyone has Freeview HD?16:30
daftykinswhat'd the actual question be?16:30
zleapsome channels on freeview are HD,16:31
hexhaxtronIf it works with WiFi or if I need cables connected to the TV?16:31
zleaplike bbc channels, so if you have HDTV you get a better picture16:31
daftykinshexhaxtron: wait what? freeview is aerial broadcast no o016:31
hexhaxtrondaftykins, what does it mean aerial? I need an antenna?16:31
daftykinsyeah that's what freeview is, unless something new has come out in the last year i don't know about16:32
zleapariel = antenna16:32
hexhaxtronOr the builtin Freeview in the TV already catches the signal?16:32
daftykinsdepends what your TV is capable of16:32
hexhaxtrondaftykins, I'm interested in this TV: http://dealbuyer.com/viewproduct/18228/Digihome_48_LED_Full_HD_1080p_TV_2_x_HDMI_2_x_USB_Media_Player16:32
daftykinsso yeah roof antenna only16:33
hexhaxtronI don't have a roof antenna...16:33
daftykinsthen you're up that specific creek with no paddle16:33
daftykinsi think i'd aim for something with a freesat tuner, then you can make use of a sky dish16:34
hexhaxtrondaftykins, can you suggest me an antenna to buy?16:35
daftykinsnope16:35
daftykinsyou'll want to phone your local handy installer16:35
daftykinsbefore that though, use the freeview site to check coverage in your area16:36
zleapwe have a freeview tv with a normal indoor ariel / antenna works ok16:36
daftykinssounds like non-HD16:36
zleapthe UK should have full coverage of freeview analog channels were switched off IIRC16:36
daftykinsno harm in checing :)16:36
daftykins+k16:36
zleapnot sure just now we have a new tv and we are using an indoor ariel16:37
hexhaxtronzleap, something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/271206041756?adgroupid=13936810266&hlpht=true&hlpv=2&rlsatarget=kwd-124296812946&adtype=pla&ff3=1&lpid=122&poi=&ul_noapp=true&limghlpsr=true&device=c&chn=ps&campaignid=220881786&crdt=0&ff12=67&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff14=122&viphx=1&ops=true&ff13=8016:37

hexhaxtronThanks! :)16:37

hexhaxtronIs it good?16:42
daftykinsyou really should just do it right :P16:45
daftykinsafter all you only do it once, so there's no point scrimping16:46
hexhaxtrondaftykins, it's not my home... it's a private rented room... I cannot put an antenna on the roof by myself, the landlord needs to give permission for it.16:46
daftykinsweird to have a place with no provision16:46
hexhaxtrondaftykins, but... that antenna works with the TV I mentioned, right? And then I get many channels for free? That's all I need to know.16:48
daftykinsi wouldn't want to say16:48
arsenipwhenever ive lived in rented i've had tv/phone instaleld - usually with landlord perms tho16:48
daftykinsone years little buggers had sky fitted to my place in Portsmouth, they never asked :P16:49
hexhaxtronI don't have phone either. However, I got wireless Internet. :)16:49
daftykinsphones pretty useless today16:49
daftykinsi only have one from being forced for my VDSL provision16:49
arseniptbh i think these dasy its pretty standard to have sky or cable installed16:50

daftykinsyeah that arsenip can't even do s saff London accent ;)16:58
arsenipafaik freeview works via standard tv aerial right? anyting you get from the likes of argos etc would do fine.17:00
daftykinsyeah probably17:01
daftykinshexhaxtron: http://www.freeview.co.uk/availability17:03
daftykinssee how good the coverage is nearby before investing in some cheap internal antenna17:03
hexhaxtrondaftykins, I did that already.17:03
daftykinsoh ok, just not sharing then17:03
daftykinssue me for trying :P17:04

hexhaxtrondaftykins, do I have to pay some tax to use TV in the UK?18:48
diddledanhexhaxtron yes18:51
diddledanhexhaxtron, to wathc live broadcast (even via the internet) you need a "TV License"18:52
diddledancatch-up that isn't live is ok wihtou tho18:52
hexhaxtrondiddledan, where can I get more info about the TV License?18:52
diddledanhexhaxtron. tvlicensing.co.uk18:53
hexhaxtrondiddledan, can't I just use an antena and a TV and watch it for free?18:53
diddledanhexhaxtron, you can, but it's illegal18:54
hexhaxtrondiddledan, are the channels encrypted or something?18:55
diddledanfreeview and freesat are completely unencrypted18:56
MyrttiTV licence is a bargain19:32
