The Queen on .tv!

Advantages: layout, design, information, photos
Disadvantages: /

...I would say there are six websites that I could not live without. I would not say that it is a mixed bag of sites - it is either money making related or media related. One of these media related websites is the official website of my greatest inspiration in life. She is such a wonderful person, and a perfect role model. Who is this woman? Of course, it's Andrea McLean! If you for some reason do not know who Andrea McLean is, then I am a tiny bit offended! She was a long running weather girl for GMTV, only to give up that post a few months back. She is now the main anchor of ITV daytime chat show phenomenon Loose Women, a job I would kill for. She is one of the most amazing TV Presenters around, and has such a wonderful personality. The day I met her was one of the most amazing days of my life, a moment I will treasure forever. She...

Review of andreamclean.tv

NME TV

Advantages: Great music
Disadvantages: Too many advers

...I'm an individual who enjoys a good bit of music. Any genre will generally do if it's 'good' - by that I mean not some terrible cheesy pop song, but generally I'll stick to my indie/rock malarkey. So it's ideal then that the New Music Express has introduced their own TV station - NME TV... Operated by CSC Media Group, it replaced the music channel 'Minx' in November 2007 - which is odd as I believe Minx was more a pop music channel that indie. Upon it's launch, the first song it played was 'Up The Bracket' by the Libertines, so a perfect indication of what this channel would be playing. Like with all music channels, it's input is predominantly music videos - along with copious amounts of adverts - but it does also contain special shows, often highlighting bands with albums recently released or out soon either picking their...

Review of NME TV

Angelcare Monitor

Advantages: Peace of mind.
Disadvantages: Remember to turn off when lifting baby out of cot

...I knew from the outset that i would be one of those paranoid mum's constantly worrying about my baby & wondering if he was still breathing through the night, so I invested in the Angelcare monitor with movement sensor mat. The set includes a 'baby unit', 'parent unit' & movement sensor mat. The mat is placed under baby's mattress (if like mine, the base of the cot is slatted, or you're using it in such a moses basket, then you will need to place the mat on a firm surface such as a piece of plywood under the mattress), & is so sensitive that it can detect even the lightest of breathing. The mat connects to the baby unit which then transmits to the parent unit. If no movement (yes, even light breathing counts as movement) is detected for 20 seconds, an alarm sounds on both the baby & parent units, enabling time to get to your baby...

Review of AngelCare AC401 Movement and Sound Baby Monitor

Good cheap baby monitors (Tomy Walkabout Classic Advance Monitor)

Advantages: 100% portable, mains or battery powered, good solid units
Disadvantages: Can eat through batteries

...I read said the units had a constant interference and the range of them was terrible, I have had neither of these problems, you do get a low white noise type of sound coming from the parent unit but if you have the volume set low then you can hardly hear it & you get used to it, or do as I have and set it to the sound activation feature, the units are then silent until your child makes a noise. As for the range of these monitors I have also had no problems, I live in a three bedroom house and in a evening my little girl is in bed upstairs and I have the unit on downstairs whilst I watch TV and as yet I have had no problems with loosing connection. Only downside to these is they tend to go through batteries very quickly even if the power save mode is used, as yet I have not managed to get these to work from rechargeable batteries. I tend...

Advantages: *
Disadvantages: *

...'s films, which are shown on the TV. The magazine gives each film a rating and it tells you the certificate of the film and whether or not it is suitable for family viewing. The ones that are suitable for family viewing have a smiley face next to them. I think this is good for children, it means they can look and see which films are suitable for them to watch. ~ TV listings ~ There are three double pages of TV listings per day. The first double page display the listings for the terrestrial channels and the next two double pages show the listings for digital TV. A new feature on this page is some of the channels have a little box stating the Freeview channel number. The TV listings are easily accessible. ~ Coffee Break ~ This double page includes some puzzles, letters from the readers and starsigns from Russell Grant. The letters...

Review of TV Quick

A stylish LCD TV/Monitor

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Not so much

...LG is famous at its monitors and TVs, which always come with nice looking and high picture quality. This TV could be used as a second TV in the bedroom or in child's room. Nice looking and various inputs This TV comes with black panel and stand and it looks quite stylish. The new style switch is not normal mechanical switch. One touch could switch on/off the TV. It is also wall mountable if you want it on the wall. It provides a number of essential connection options for user, which are standard aerial connection, Scart, HDMI, Component Video and VGA.

Review of LG Flatron M228WD

A TV TV!

Advantages: Portable(ish), cheap, good value
Disadvantages: Needs an external aerial, viewing software is buggy

...application and the drivers required for your device to recognise and use the TV tuner. The WinTV2000 viewing application is a resizable window with various unlabelled icons used to display the TV signal on your screen. In addition to the main viewing area is a "hide-able" "Remote Control" which features a more intuitive interface for controlling the TV output ( a rotating volume knob for instance). The TV viewing window can be set to stay on top of everything else on your PC (so you can nestle it in the corner of your screen whilst continuing to work on other things) or blown-up to full screen size with the click of a button. The unit has proven to be quite sturdy as I have carried it around a number of places in the bottom of laptop bags and still nothing inside rattles - I generally find this to be a good indicator of sturdy build quality...

Review of Hauppauge WinTV USB

A Quality Monitor

Advantages: Many functions, clear sound, no interference, talk back
Disadvantages: Temp sensor maybe a bit sensitive

...We recently borrowed this monitor from a friend - it's on our wish list but we can't really afford to buy one, so we are trialling this one at the moment. Due to us borrowing it, we were never given an instruction manual, but have still managed to figure out most of the functions with success! And compared to our Tomy Walkabout, this is a fantastic monitor, even if it is a little pricey (£69.99 I think) The Baby Unit: This unit has 9 buttons across the top: -On/Off Switch -Rec button (which I think is to record your voice but we haven't used this function) -Page (to page the parent unit I presume if you've lost it somewhere) -A button with three circles on - I think this is to increase or decrease the brightness of the nightlight -Nightlight -Volume up -Volume down -Play/Stop (the lullabies) -Music (to select...

Review of BT 150 Digital Baby Monitor

"Premium" TV/Monitor for a not so "Premium" price

Advantages: high quality, TV and radio capabilities, integrated speaker system
Disadvantages: slight chance of experiencing problems with display output.

...successfully transfer the live content from the set-top box to your monitor via the SCART lead. On the back of the monitor you get 1 SCART socket, sockets which give you the option of adding external audio output devices such as speakers and headphones, sockets for integration with digital video cameras, providing you with the ability to watch recorded video content via the SyncMasters display, a radio and T.V "antennae IN" socket and finally an "audio IN socket". I do not think "SOCKET" is the correct name for the location where the cables are input, but i think you understand what i mean. Given all the areas of input, you will certainly be able to do more than just view content on this display. You have the option of connecting digital video recorders to your display, listening to the radio or even watch T.V. However i have not tested all...

Review of Samsung SyncMaster 730MW

THE LILIPUT MONITOR.

Advantages: THE DESIGN ATTRACTIVE WITH BRIGHT SCREEN DISPLAY.
Disadvantages: NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE PRODUCT

...Well as things may be, this is my first time of using a lilliput monitor and I have seen that it is of the high quality type. The LCD monitor is capable of projecting high quality pictures and with bright colour display. The lillliput are the professional manufacturers of most TFT LCD monitors. Now lets come down to the monitor's capabilities and features. The monitor also comes with a touch screen technology and with a touch pen included, that is quite marvelous and interesting to use and on the other hand comes with a remote control wireless and with built in audio, which produces high quality and likable sound. The monitor also has English on screen display menu and with programmable auto on features. Well I got this some couple of moths ago and have not gotten any problem with it so far. Quite durable and very easy...
