Awesome Orion 32" LCD

Advantages: Sharpness, Quality Picture
Disadvantages: None

....V. That way you have your own quality sound system, entertain your mates with a pint, and you won?t have to contend with any drunken loud-mouth-louts at the back. My Orion is HD ready (High Definition) I find, when watching the football the screen looks more innovative, a lot sharper, the commentary is very realistically sound, and the colour is beautiful. On watching films: When I?m watching a movie, it feels like being at a cinema, the sound is so effective. I watch a film the other night on DVD, I?ve seen it about 3 times now, and it?s called Captivity starring Elisha Cuthbert and Daniel Gillies. There are a lot of dark scenes in this one; it was all to do with kidnapping and torture. The dark scenes are amazingly effective to look at, I sometimes feel like I?m actually there. The effects of the sound were really good; it felt...

Review of Orion TV32082

Almost star quality from Orion

Advantages: Reasonably priced from a reputable manufacturer
Disadvantages: LCD picture quality can be poor when viewing from certain angles

...we don't watch a huge amount of television in the bedroom, I didn't lean towards any particular manufacturer as I might have done if I were buying a new main television set for the living room. I was also just looking for a portable TV in the region of a 19 or 20 inch screen. Having checked the local retailers, and compared prices online, the best I could find for our circumstances was a digital LCD made by Orion. To give it it's full name: an Orion TV 19PL110D. If you've ever bought an LCD or plasma television from Toshiba or Sharp, the chances are it was manufactured by Orion as it happens to be one of the world's largest OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) of televisions We chose this model because out of all the televisions in this size, this particular model had the best overall technical specifications. For instance...

Review of Orion TV-19 PL 110 D

Ford orion

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: none

...When I was younger I always wanted to own a Ford Orion ( I know I was young and wisdom comes with age). When I passed my driving test I knew what would be my first car, with £3000 to spend off I went, and came back with a D reg Ford Orion 1.6i turbo, I loved it . Over the next year or so I added a body kit, alloy wheels and various other extras, this car was the dogs bollocks and I would cruise around town getting looks from everybody. Now I am a lot older I look back at that car with some embarassment but also regret that I ever sold it. I have had many cars since then but none hold my affection like my Ford Orion ( your first car always will)....

Review of Ford Orion 1.6

The Ford Orion - No Longer With Us, Thank God!

Advantages: Comfortable, Spacious, Cheap spares
Disadvantages: Dodgy high-speed handling, Poor starting, Corrosion in vital areas

...I bought a ten-year old Orion Ghia 1.6 in 1996, after many years of hatchback ownership. Obviously, it was a second car as I could not risk having a Ford as my one and only vehicle. The car felt good, solid and comfortable so I bought the Orion (60,000 on the clock) for £750. The problems I inherited with the car were a non-functioning electric window switch (cured with a dose of WD40) and some ancient and rock-hard front tyres, which scared the life out of me the first time I stood on the brakes.The front wheels locked solid sending the car screeching down the road in a cloud of smoke. It was either get some new tyres or look around for a decent life insurance policy - the tyres won the day. The car turned out to be reliable, except in the area of early morning and, occasionally, hot starting. I did develop various start...

Review of Ford Orion 1.6

Mapex Orion Classic Drumkit

Advantages: Superb Quality & Build
Disadvantages: Quite expensive and not for beginners!

...Orion Classic was sat right at the back gleaming under the spotlights. The kit included: 22 x 18 Bass Drum (with retractable spurs) 16 x 13 Rack Tom 14 x 11 Rack Tom 12 x 9 Rack Tom 10 x 8 Rack Tom 14 x 5.5 Black Panther Snare All made from all Maple shells with outer Birdseye veneer (Antique Ivory) I managed to get the set for £1,400 as at the time they were retailing at £2,000 so it was well worth the purchase! The kit jumped right out and just looked the business. It has a lot of quality extras compared to the average kit. Mapex have put a lot of thought into the designing of this kit, for example the lugs on the bass drum are all protected by outer metal protection so that they will not get damaged/bent if the kit was to get bumped when taking in and out of a car. The mounts both for the cymbals and the toms come...

Review of Mapex Orion Classic Drumkit

Ford Orion 1.3 1989/1990

Advantages: Larger than Escort, Cheap to run and maintain
Disadvantages: underpowered, usual old age rust problems.

...and space. Roof racks could be fitted and infact I managed to fit, myself, partner, 2 kids and a 5 man canvass tent with all accessories for 2 weeks camping trip. The car has no special gadgets with mainly all mechanical parts, this made things easier for me fault diagnosis was easier. The interior was standard as for an escort/orion, grey/brown materials with grey carpet, standard foam seats, no air bags, no power steering. Just plain and simple mechanics. All in all, I liked this car even with the problems I had. If you are looking for a cheap family car with a secure boot space then this would be for you. Be prepared to put up with basic upholstery and features....

Orion TV37RN10D

Advantages: Price and features
Disadvantages: remote control

...I brought this set about 2 months ago and cannot fault it, i have it wall mounted in my games room, linked up to the ps3 and xbox 360 the picture is fantastic for an entry price point TV. This is my second Orion set and i cant fault them. I have always usually stuck with high branded products but as it was not my main tv i went for something slightly cheaper. I have to say my friend has a sony set and even he thinks the picture on the Orion is better. · Integrated digital tuner (DVB-T) to receive Freeview · HD Ready · Brightness 500 cd/m2 · Contrast ratio: 1200:1 · NICAM stereo sound · Teletext / Digital text · PAL / SECAM compatible · Accepts NTSC signals through the inputs · 2 x HDMI sockets · Component video inputs · PC input (with accompanying audio input) · 2 SCART sockets · S-Video input · AV inputs...

ford orion 1.3 lx

Advantages: more or less an escort
Disadvantages: rot/rust

...Well this is a saloon escort at the end of the day with same engines, interiors, body panels etc. if you are looking for a mk 4 orion then you would be alot better of getting alate 1989-f reg onwards. this is because the 1.3 lx cvh changed to the 1.4 lx cvh which is much quieter then the older 1.3 tappety sounding engine which sounds like your dragging a bag of nails down the road. Most fords 1986-89 rot i dont know why but when i say rot i mean like a cancer, really bad! but 1989 models are still on the road and rot no worse than any other car of this age.they also gave the car better styling aswell with bigger bumpers and side door trims. the cvh engine is quite a reliable lump and when they go wrong they are so cheap to repair ,its definately one of the cars best points. as for driving, these can really be chucked without to much...

Review of Ford Orion 1.3

Rockit's DVD

Advantages: Quite good extras
Disadvantages: All in one long episode

...Fimbles ? Smelly Jelly I have to admit that Fimbles are not one of my favourite children?s programmes though my daughter loves it so we decided to go and get her a DVD so when we wanted to watch something on the television, she could watch it happily on the laptop ? which she enjoys doing as its mummy?s laptop and she isn?t meant to touch it! The Fimbles are Fimbo, Florrie and Baby Pom, who all live in a lovely, colourful place called Fimble Valley. The Fimbles are cuddly hippo like creatures each with lovely colourful ?skins?. Other characters in this programme include a blue tree frog called Rockit and a mole called Roly Mo, a pink bird called Bessie and her chick Ribble. Most of the other characters are essentially large puppets except the chick who is just a great ball of fluff with eyes stuck on it, unmoving in the main...

Review of Fimbles - Smelly Jelly! (DVD)

A Golden DVD!

Advantages: entertaining, great length, good features, appealing natural comedy
Disadvantages: sorry, if you're under 12, its a no-go!

...I am a Telly Addict. I'll admit it, it's my life. What's more, I love anything that has me in stitches. So what better than to combine two of my favourite things and come up with an amazing show?! Harry Hill's TV Burps is a comedy show, presented by Harry Hill, which airs every on and off on ITV1. He also writes the script for the show too, which must result in him non-stop working. It first started in 2001 when Hill was just 37, and has been a success for the last eight years now. Each episode, Hill takes us on a journey to look back at that weeks' television, and everything comic about it. Often, there is a celebrity guest appearing in the audience-filled studio, to bring the entertainment and laughter to a peak. Now we can enjoy this magic on a DVD! For Christmas I had asked for Harry Hill's TV Burp Gold DVD, however I did not...
