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...

512mb memory unit - too small?

Advantages: SMall and easy to take around with you and for storing game saves
Disadvantages: Expensive and a hard drive would be far more beneficial

...If you purchase the xbox arcade console then you will get one of these 512mb memory units free with the console. However if you opt to go for either the premium console or the elite console you will get the main hard drive for free and will have less need for these. These small memory units are both advantageous as they are small and compact and suitable for certain tings. However they are on the other hand quite pathetic compared to the 20gb or 120gb hard drives which are also available on the market. I currently own both a 20gb hard drive and one of these 512mb memory units as well. What is it?: This is a 512mb memory unit for use in xbox 360 consoles - all of them whether they are the arcade or the elite. It is white to fit in with the typical colour of the console. It simply slots into a little slot which is appropriately...

IKEA Changing Unit

Advantages: Lots of space for changing baby, very well built, will last for ages
Disadvantages: heavy when assembling

...On one of my many trips to IKEA during my pregnancy I came across this changing unit and could not believe how cheap it was compared to other units I had seen elsewhere. I had read a lot about what makes a good changing unit and having looked at severa I realised one fatal flaw in them all - that the unit was only big enough to put your baby on which meant you had to purchase a seperate table to put by the side to house all of the equipment needed for changing, washing etc. Those that did have the extra space were extremely expensive. When I walked into IKEA in Milton Keynes, the first thing I saw at the top of the escalator was this beautiful light pine coloured changing table - at only 89.00. For this price you got the changing table which consisted of a three drawer unit, with a small shelf underneath the changing top which had...

TV Quick

Advantages: *
Disadvantages: *

...I still live with my parents and this is the TV magazine that they buy. I don't see the point in buying another TV magazine just for me. I read this magazine more than I actually watch the television. Due to exams, drama, sign language and ciao I don't watch very much television. However, every now and then I do sit down and watch an episode of Eastenders or Coronation Street, with my mam. I don't need to watch every episode to know what is going on. Apart from the fact that usually nothing much is happening, I can read the TV quick to catch up. TV Quick come out weekly and costs 70p. We get it delivered from our local newsagents with our newspaper. We usually get it on the Tuesday, before the TV listings in the magazine starts. I say magazine because it is more than just a TV listing. To write this review I'm looking at a copy...

TV SHOPPING JUNKIES UNITE

Advantages: some good bargains, easy to buy, occasionally entertaining
Disadvantages: TOO Easy to buy for some people, bland presenters in the extreme

...I will hold my hands high in the air and confess to you all…..I’ve bought something from QVC! Yes I did and then I did it again. That’s two items, both worked and both seemed like very good buys at the time (and probably still are if only I ever used the darn things!) QVC hit these shores probably around the same time that we all went Cable and Satellite barmy. This is cheap TV Programming taken to the blandest, farthest horizon. Some of the ‘presenters’ (or salespersons in effect) are fairly well known faces on TV. There was that bloke that used to pop up on Anglia TV sometimes, reading the news…Richard something or other maybe (Another confession here, I cant remember the guy’s name, but he did once switch on the Christmas lights in my town….woweee!). Then there was that woman who...

Where dreams are made....and broken....Hull IVF Unit

Advantages: Wonderful, compassionate staff. Slightly above average success rates.
Disadvantages: Location. Lack of car parking.

...Having been through infertility, & subsequently IVF myself, I have read many other accounts relating to the journey of achieving something that most couples take for granted, but what at times can seem like the impossible ? a baby. I have gained so much insight from other people & have drawn strength from their stories, so I thought I would share mine & hopefully pass on some hope to other couples in similar situations. There are many IVF reviews on here, so I thought I would try & cover the hospital at which I myself received treatment (the Hull IVF unit). Since treatment can vary from hospital to hospital, I hope this will be of use to couples planning treatment here. Firstly, a bit of background information to set the scene? We began TTC (trying to conceive) back in September 2005. Although current guidelines state that...

Xbox 360 Memory Unit

Advantages: Can transport gamesaves and Gamercard information | Light and easy to transport |
Disadvantages: Over-priced | Very little storage |

...The Xbox 360 Memory Unit serves as a useful tool for taking your game saves and Gamercard with you wherever you go. The small memory card fits into one of the slots in front of the Xbox 360 console, and it is then registered as a new storage device immediately. Any game saves can then be automatically saved to your Memory Unit. If you have files that you wish to move onto your Unit then it is very simple and quick to do so. The file you wish to add to your Memory Unit simply has to be moved from the Hard Drive via the Memory menu on the Xbox 360 Dashboard, a process that is very easy indeed. From there it can be moved back to your own console whenever you wish it to be. Whilst this is handy for moving your files around, it definately isn't recommended as a permanent storage solution, simply because of the small size. Notably, the 64MB...

A TV TV!

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

... The Unit - Overview & Appearance Built by probably the best known PC TV tuner producer, the Hauppauge WinTV USB is essentially a glasses-case sized box of magic which allows you to transform your PC or laptop into a TV.. Executed in translucent turquoise plastic, the unit features a 2 foot long USB lead at one end for connection to your computer and a standard coaxial port for connection to an external aerial at the other. On the side of the box are three further ports; two 3.5mm audio jacks for connecting external audio sources and an S-Video port for connecting a video recorder or DVD player or the like. There is also the mandatory red LED to indicate power set into the plastic on the upper face of the unit. Also included in the box is a CD with the WinTV...

A TV Show, about TV shows

Advantages: Good debates, Interesting topics
Disadvantages: Only once a month

...'The TV show', is in a sense Channel 4's answer to 'Points of View'. It's on monthly, on channel4 and addresses viewers opinions regarding what has been on television that month, and any complaints that have derived from viewing. It is presented by Channel4 news presenter, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, and the show is handled in more of chat show debate forum (Trisha style) rather than reading out letters a la Terry Wogan on POV. They often invite producers (or other relevant people) of whichever shows have created controversy that month. For example, this month they had one of the executive producers of Big Brother, plus a psychologist debating whether or not the show has run it's course, whether or not they were taking away the rights of the viewer by removing housemates before they had chance to vote people off, and whether or not it...

Pricedrop.tv

Advantages: Can find some good bargains
Disadvantages: Long wait for delivery

...Introduction Pricedrop.tv is an interactive auction channel allowing you to bid by phone and Internet. You can also watch the live auctions on Sky Digital, Freeview and cable networks. It is a sister channel of bidup.tv that has been established for a longer duration. How does it work? When an auction begins the auctioneer introduces the ?lot? that people will be bidding on and tells you some brief information about it. On screen viewers are given several pieces of information. This includes: the guide price (the manufacturers recommended retail price, or the average of two prices gained elsewhere), quantity left in the lot, the current price drop value (the price you would pay if the auction ended at that time), banners along the bottom informing viewers about the product and the names of people who have placed...
