Technika Television

Advantages: Compact, Stylish
Disadvantages: Slightly slow software

...wall mounted, with standard mounting holes to fit most brackets. The Technika also has the outstanding idea of having the freeview service and dvd player built in making it very convinent and a good all in one. The remote is a good size and the buttons are easy to understand and you don't have to be really close to the television for it to work like with some remotes, it will quite easily work from the other side of the room. The instruction manual was also easy to understand all though this was hardly needed as the television was so easy to set up. We purchased ours from our local Tesco supermarket for £279 which i concider a very good price for the television with built in DVD and Freeview. The cable has a good lenth to it making it easy to place where you want it and still be able to reach the plug socked without masses...

Review of Technika LCD19DVDID-107

Technika does me proud.

Advantages: Price !
Disadvantages: None as far as I can see.

...screen was the size we were looking for. I know next to nothing about electronics so my review is based on the practicalities of the Technika LCD-208. Previously we have had a television, a Freeview box and a DVD player all perched on top of each other and the idea of having a television set that was capable of all functions seemed very appealing to us both. The Technika LCD 208 comes with one years guarantee, or there is the option of purchasing a separate three year warranty for £39.97p which we chose not to do. It is possible to wall-mount the television set if you are going to use it maybe in a bedroom or the kitchen and that bracket is available from Tesco Direct too and will cost in the region of £20. The Technika set has one scart socket and the set can be connected to a PC as long as you follow the guidelines, if you are in...

Review of Technika LCD22-208

DVD-104 is a good buy if you can get it cheap.

Advantages: Rock solid reliability, okay looks, good selection of output sockets.
Disadvantages: Awful remote, only 2.0 sound, lacking some newer features.

...DVD has all but replaced VHS Videos these days. And while two competing technologies attempt to catch our eye for the 'next generation' high definition DVD technology, there is still plenty of time for the regular DVD yet. The Technika DVD-104 is a fairly basic DVD player. It's somewhat lacking in more high end features, such as DivX, mp3, or 5.1 surround support. But what it does do, it does well. First off, appearances. This unit is the usual all width and no height affair. With only six function buttons and one power button along the front, the remote is vital. The front of the unit is the usual reflective plastic affair, with the display and infrared sensor to the right and various logos splattered around the place to make the unit look more posh, it's "just another DVD player" in that department, but it fits in well with my...

Technika 8" digital photo frame good value for money

Advantages: 1GB internal memory built-in, easy of use
Disadvantages: May not be recognized by certain computer e.g. XP Home with AMD chip?

...My Mrs wanted me to buy a digital photo frame because our friends have recently got one. So I started to look at the most common 7" frames and then she said they are a bit small. The next one up is 8" but with much less choices. That is not too bad because it is easier to make a decision. It was down to the final two - Tesco's Technika SR08 or the Linx 8" from Amazon. While I was browsing and investigating at my leisure, Amazon suddenly raised the price from £52.43 to £78.28! This makes the Linx too expensive. So I have just bought the Technika SR08 from Tesco Direct for £58.48 instead. The set up was easy - plug and play (well not quite that straight forward, see below). For the picture display the screen resolution is 800 x 600 pixels, better than the Linx DPF. However the manual did not mentio the screen...

Review of Technika SR08

Technika LCD 22-408 LCD TV

Advantages: Brilliant features, at a low price
Disadvantages: None that outweigh the bargain price

...I also bought this TV from Tescos for just over £200. A great purchase. For the price you pay, the quality of picture is perfectly decent, and sound fine. Not really a main TV, but great for a bedroom or small area e.g. kitchen. Functionality is superb - built in DVD, ipod, HDMI etc. Can watch ipod videos as well as use it as a speaker system for the ipod with ability to control ipod from remote. Overall I am more than happy, and think this TV is awesome value for money/features. One piece of advice - when conencting your ipod to the TV (especially ipod touch or iphone) you need to switch off the wifi on the ipod (wireless connection) as this interferes with the TV speakers, which I intially thought was either a fault or slight negative re the budget TV - but actually isnt! So overall my advice is - if this is to be a second...

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...

The Notebook DVD

Advantages: Moving, beautiful love story
Disadvantages: Makes me cry!!

...Having watched this film on Channel 4 at the weekend (I have the DVD also but just had to watch it) I've decided to review it for anyone who hasn't seen it. Although, I see that a lot of people have already seen it as the UK premier on Channel 4 attracted 1 million viewers!! The Notebook is a beautiful romance that still makes me cry after numerous viewings. It is poignant, romantic, sad, hopeful and uplifting all rolled into one. The Notebook was actually developed from a book written by the American author Nicholas Sparks in 1996. It spent over a year as a hardcover best seller. The film version was released in 2004. It follows the story of Noah and Allie, childhood sweethearts who eventually find each other again after years apart. The story is very cleverly told as a flashback. It begins in a modern day nursing home...

Superbad DVD

Advantages: Very funny, good acting
Disadvantages: Aimed quite specifically at teenagers, quite crude humour

...his childhood penis obsession..). The DVD includes quite a few special features, for example, deleted scenes and outtakes, as with most DVDs, and is good value for money. Overall, if you are looking for a teen comedy and have a fun, slightly immature side, you will probably love this!...
