    Ever since I got my LCD television my saorview set-top keeps falling off the top of the tv because it's too narrow. I've tried balancing it using blue tack and chewing gum but it keeps falling off!

    Any suggestions?

    Why not replace it with a set-bottom box and put that one under the tv ?

    Is that digital washing powder, digital antique motor bike, digital BBC internal newspaper, or digital 4th largest moon of Uranus?

    If the TV is (2011>) new and sold by a reputable dealer then it should have a Digital tuner built in which will receive the Saorview channels and allow you to remove the set-top box and use the TV's own integral tuner.

    A good epoxy resin might suffice but have you tried turning the TV upside down and balancing the TV on the box?

    You may need to upgrade your TV to one that is set top box compatible. Any of the CRT models should fit your requirements and adequately support your set top box with ample set top acreage.

    Astoundingly some manufacturer didnt get the joke either and manufactures the "Screendeck"
