I have tried, and usually failed, to tune into those TVs with a small radio. The times I picked up it was very bad reception. It might be possible to get better with a digital frequency selection.

sorry for the texty speak if it annoys anyone - its just that I send a KAGILLLION emails/texts a day and I just got lazy...so now I do it without noticing...ANYHOO I find it a bit annoying that we can't hear them but they're set up and even give out the radios in the other gyms...its not like the place is free!!

It irritates me greatly, it may not bug other people. You did only save about 10 keystrokes, and I can't imagine it being significantly quicker... but that's enough energy wasted on that issue.

Coincidentally enough, I just got a call from a WestWood customer service manager on a comment card I filled in (I asked for them to put chicken wire over the drains in the bicycle area to stop keys falling in).

While I was on the phone I also asked about the TV reception, and mentioned the different facilities in Leopardstown. The manager said that it was a known problem, due to conditions in the location of the gym, and that it would be very difficult or impossible to resolve. They do have money available for it, but it's extremely hard due to physical constraints, I'm not clear on the electrical issues involved.

She mentioned that the ones that are given out in the other gyms have not been a success. This is because despite the fact that they work fine at first, as soon as you start using one of the treadmills (e.g.) then you can't hear the sound any more. They have received multiple complaints about these units not performing correctly.

what's wrong with just listening to music and watching what you're doing so you won't hurt yourself?
If on a treadmill you're going to be bobbing up and down which would make the TV hard to watch and may even give you motion sickness if you're prone to that sort of thing.

:boggle:

I think with the TVs being so big you can't miss them when you're on a lot of the machines so thats what makes me look up at them....
