Um, hate to tell you this, but I don't smoke cigarettes, cigars, or anything, or drink alcohol for that matter, rum and cola was as hard as it got...hmm... nice fruit juice :-) |

All Vic seems to want is a place where he can prattle on in his own sweet way about anything and everything without anybody challenging him.Yep, you learn something new everyday, never realised that Rum was not alcohol :-) |

Back to the drawing board :-( From this latest round of dreams take away a couple of lessons, first find out how much you can borrow to purchase and move to another location (not assumption based guesses, but real hard dollars), second before expending effort and worry check that your current home can be moved to the new location. Good luck in the hunt. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Regarding tv viewing distances, I haven't measured, but this is my setup, as viewed from my favorite spot on the living room couch. There's been a tv in that corner for 50 years. Originally, they were console sets on the floor, not on a pedestal, like the current CRT. ![]() ![]() |

Vic, thinking that you must have 4k TV for viewing at that distance is a fallacy. The viewing distance for a 55" 4K TV is max 7 feet, beyond that you cannot see the enhanced resolution, even with 20/20 vision. ![]() |

Vic, You need to get real. There is no one who will give you a loan on what you make and what your current debt is. You can dream about grants all you want. It aint going to happen. And those Pics you posted, Wasn't that the same place you had big dreams over a few years ago? Jeez be happy were you live now. I hate to tell you this but any house new or not needs to be fixed as needed. Same goes for your car!!!! And driving with mismatched tires is stupid. The wrong size tire on one side of the car will cause it to pull to that side if you need to slam on the brakes hard. You could save money by not buying E-bay crap hoping you can fix it. Tell us how many items you have fixed you bought off of E-bay? And how is the computer build going? haven't seen any updates lately. You don't want negative posts? Stop posting wet dreams. ![]() Old James |

Not what I was referring to, the output of the Xbox One X and S is 4K, though scaling can occur, though only the X does UHD 4K Blu Rays. I was going by what you posted in http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=81952&postid=1895663#1895663 and since. It all adds up to you saying you need a 55" TV, because the viewing distance is 20 ft, and you are looking for a 4K model. You shouldn't be trying to watch TV from 20 ft and expect to see everything on screen clearly, even with good eyesight. And to see the benefits of a 55" 4K the viewing distance is from about 4.5 ft to just under 7 ft. You would be better connecting the X box to your computer monitor. And if you say, "My computer has only one HDMI input and it will be difficult to keep swapping cables" then you need to do better research. You can get HDMI switches and they can be remote controlled as well. https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/hdmi-switches |

Vic, you didn't do the most basic check - how much will lenders give you given your CURRENT financial state. You set off on another wild goose chase based on assumptions not reality, SB3 may not get signed off so that source of a deposit vanishes, you have no idea about the real costs of moving your current home to another site, you has assumed the other site would accept your current home, you have no real idea of the service connection charges, you have only a vague idea of the legal costs. Get those then start to think about what you can actually afford to spend. In your situation the very best St thing you can do is to stop buying on eBay, Amazon, spending on PayPal and start paying down your cards and loans. And before you say "You don't know what is like to live on just over 800usd a month" not too many years ago I was out of work with a £1000/month mortgage and an income of about £220 per month. Which most certainly does not add up to a good situation, making you look positively well off in comparison.

might be able to route the sound out with a usb adapter |
woohoo Send message Joined: 30 Oct 13 Posts: 973 Credit: 165,671,404 RAC: 5 ![]() |
when i mentioned usb adapter i was referring specifically to a usb sound card that would provide an analog out if you don't spend money, then you can say that you don't have stuff. but if you do spend money, you get into the situation where you need to spend more money. so these are your two choices. |

but his monitor might only have one dvi input, plus the speakers probably only have one input, so the tv is the best solution, except that it costs money |

Vic, Cost of Living increases do not actually increase the relative amount you have to spend. All they are MEANT to do is keep your income at the same rr!lative level it is today. The truth is that all too often they don't even do that and your income drops further behind the average, and thus further from your financial goal. One very sick, sad fact of life :-( As to "signing off" of SB3, I meant the final, full enactment into law howere that is accomplished, then coming into effect with full funding available to be drawn on. By the sound of it that I'd improbable until the end of next year, and more likely 2019 before the funds able to be drawn on by the likes of yourself. I dare say there will loopholes for applicants to jump through, loads of forms to complete, and maybe even "eligibility" checks to be made, all of which take time to complete.
