I have recently been having problems with the picture on my TV’s freezing. This can happen at any time of the day and is becoming really annoying. I have not changed the aerial and the wiring is the same. There are two sets and both freeze at the same time. On freeview the picture freezes and if I switch to terestrial it rolls very badly? Does anyone have any suggestions?

maybe get better cables or a good amplifier. Check
this out there is a amplifier made by kitztech and many
antenna experts have claimed it’s one of the best
because it has very low noise. Usually noise can cause
the problems you mentioned. A crap amplifier can have
a noise of 5db, usual good ones made by respectable
companies like channel master or winegard have noise
of 2-3db, this one has a noise of under 1db. check it out.

this should eliminate pixelation and it has adjustable
gain knobs so you can find which is perfect, it goes
up to 20db, and I recommend you hook it up right
when the antenna cable comes in the house.

I was watching a burial scene on TV. Most of the shots were obviously filmed in a real cemetery somewhere. However, I noticed that the actual interment was shown at close angles, where the buildings around the real cemetery were not visible.
It got me wondering if the idea of lowering a fake coffin into a grave was too distasteful and if that part of the scene might have been filmed somewhere else. There was also an aerial shot right over the grave, looking down into it, which would have required a camera on a boom, so I thought that would also be intrusive in a real graveyard.

I live in New Orleans and there are a lot of films shot down here (believe it or not.) A friend of mine stood in for Elizabeth Shue on a film recently and she had to lie down on a grave for like an hour while the camera people set up the shot, etc. She said she wasn’t creeped out til one of the sound guys made some joke and she got freaked out by all the bugs and the idea that there was a dead person six feet below her…

TV shows like Hell’s Kitchen or A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila… You see how the competitors speak their thoughts in front of the camera about whatever is showing on TV. How does that happen? Do they get pulled aside during the show or do they get pulled out after the show and watch what was recorded an then share their thoughts about it?

they do confessionals after the show has wrapped up and ask them how they were feeling at that time and stuff like that… as for Big Brother/real world/survivor they get called to a DR and record their comments right after the incident/competition/whatever… but for that they wait till the shows finished filming then they get called back to give their input … get it sir?
