Technika Television
Review of Technika LCD19DVDID-107 by
Hsaxo
Advantages: Compact, Stylish
Disadvantages: Slightly slow software
...Technika television all though not a very common or well known brand is a exptional product of very high quality. I own and am very pleased with my Technika television that we purchased from our local Tesco store.
It was easy to install with auto setu so it's basically plug it in and it's all ready to use.
The quality of picture is very good and does not have any reflections from the sun shining on it that i have found very irritating when you are trying to watch something on other brand of televisions. The picture is sharp and well contrasted with brilliant colour.
The sound is also very high quality never fuzzy and never any varied volumes.
The television itself is in a subtle silver colour fitting in well with any bedroom colour a credit to the room itself. It is none bulky and doesn't take up much space making it easy to be wall...

Stunning little 256mb MP3 player for under £5
Review of Technika MP3 player by
DragonflyWales
Advantages: Price, Simple to use, Quality
Disadvantages: Minimal features
...I have been debating whether to splash out on an mp3 player for quite some time now but always seemed to have something else to spend the money on so had not purchased one until now.
While picking up some essentials I spotted the Technika MP-906 mp3 player which Tesco are currently retailing for £4.97 and so decided that at under £5 what the hell.
I have to say it is probably the best £5 I have ever spent. For this price you don't expect much and so I was expecting a lightweight flimsy feeling piece of kit, but I couldn't have been more wrong.
The first thing you notice when you remove the player from the packaging is the quality feel of the player. Not the flimsy plastic I was expecting but a solid plastic with a soft rubbery texture that is incredibly comfortable to hold.
The styling of the player is very smooth and sleek...

Freeview recording if you can't afford a Humax
Review of Technika AED-TR 160 S 7 by
AlistairBirch
Advantages: Program Guide really clear and simple, quite good features
Disadvantages: No series link, not the most energy efficient box.
...I have been using Freeview for a while now with a single set top box and as with many other people I was getting fed up that I couldn't record two digital channels or even record one and watch another. My solution to this problem was to look into the growing range of personal video recorders PVR's that are coming onto the market.
The guidelines for my purchase were that I wanted to have a twin tuner which would allow recording of 2 digital channels and I also wanted to keep to a budget of £120 max. Be careful here as not all twin tuner recorders will let you record 2 programs at the same time. The Technika one does but many record one channel whilst you watch another.
Unfortunately my budget ruled out Humax and Topfield which most people seem to think are the best as they are about £160+.
I bought the Technika about a week ago...

Sky in every room
Review of Technika AV 104 AV Sender by
scarymonkey
Advantages: Has remote return facility
Disadvantages: Doesn't like other wireless devices
...I have seen video senders (used to send video and audio wirelessly between devices) from years ago and they were expensive and not very reliable, with picture break up being common. Also most were unable to control the sending device using a remote. Whilst browsing round my local Tesco I happened across the Technika AV104 video senders at just under £20 a pair.
What comes in the box
One AV transmitter base
One AV receiver base
Two AC Power adapters (Plugin block type)
Two Scart to 2 RCA phono cables (1 for transmit and 1 for receive)
One Infra Red extender cable - capable of supporting 3 different devices.
User Manual
Specification - taken from the supplied manual
Operating Frequency - 2.4GHz to 2.4835GHz (4 selectable channels)
Modulation - FM
Video Level (in and out) - 1 V p-p @ 75ohm
Audio Level (in and out) - 1 V p-p @ 600ohm...

Basic Earphones From Basicville, Planet Basic
Review of Technika MP3-11 by
bigush
Advantages: Cheap with anti-tangle device
Disadvantages: Not strong enough for strangling bus lunatics.
...Why does the lunatic always sit next to me on the bus, and why do they always speak to me? This is where the MP3 player and, in particular these headphones, come into their own. I know everyone says that but in my case it's true, honest! It is especially pertinent to me because I don't drive and have to get the Trawscambria bus from South Wales to Aberystwyth on a regular basis. It's a three and a half hour journey the latter half of which is serious lunatic country. You really need to be able to point to your headphones and shout "I can't hear you Mr. Lunatic-with-a-dog-on-a-string!"
I recently bought an MP3 player from Tescos to this purpose for £12.97. Yes I am a cheapskate. I promptly loaded it with a mixture of AC/DC and Charles Trenet and just as promptly lost the earphones. The player was Technika so I thought I'd better get...

Lets talk microphones.
Review of Labtec Verse 534 Microphone by
m_lucas11
Advantages: High quality mic with background noise reduction.
Disadvantages: The screen adapter is not suited for thin screens.
...The Labtec Verse 534 Microphone is a piece of essential equipment for anyone from the highly successful businessman to the average student looking to talk to people over the Internet.
The Labtec Verse 534 Microphone is perfect for use with voice over IP applications or instant messaging applications as the Labtec Verse 534 Microphone features background noise technology to filter out background noise. The background noise filtration technology is quite good as it is capable of reducing the amount of background noise such as other voices and machines however from personal experience I find that the Labtec Verse 534 Microphone does pick up music from my Technika TA-05 headphones if I have the music up too loud (which is quite often lol).
The Labtec Verse 534 Microphone connects to the pc through the mic port that most pc and laptops...

Tesco DVD +R 50pk
Review of Tesco DVD+R 50Pk by
Slamiton
Advantages: Cheap annd Reliable
Disadvantages: Spindle casing the DVDs are packaged in not suitable for storing DVDs once opened
...This 'write once' pack of DVD +R is great value. At the moment Tesco are retailing these at £14.97 which works out to be about 30p each
The pack comes in as a spindle pack with no covers. They are write once only at max speed of x8 and have a storage capacity of 4.7GB each. The +R format can be used in the following DVD machines:
Technika
Bush
Alba
Daewoo
Goodmans
Matsui
Philips
The following machines are also compatible with +R as well as -R
Sony
LG
Liteon
Sharp
The hardware that only caters for -R and therefore cannot use the +R format are:
Hitachi
JVC
Panasonic
Pioneer
Samsung
Toshiba
The spindle pack the DVDs come in is very flimsy cheap plastic so once opened the original casing is not very good to store the blank DVDs. However, this is a minor quibble considering the price they retail at.
The DVDs are not suitable for inkjet...
