A kind of reverse video killed the radio star

The mystery of why an entire village lost its broadband every morning at 7am was solved when engineers discovered an old television was to blame.

So...if we subsidise all the culchies to replace their old tellies with brand new 4k units, would that solve the rural broadband issue ?

Might be cheaper than the current plan

You need a few lessons in how to arrange a post. That was absolutely woeful.

I love how they went through a cable replacement programme before they eventually decided to use a monitoring device to search for the fault.

That's a bit like replacing all your bulbs before you check the fuse board.

New poster telling a 15 year Mod how to post, ha.

That video was the first on MTV.
Have a family member that would know if a TV (Cathode tube) was switched on anywhere in a house.

Was there really an internet star? Nothing beats the radio, anyone who needs a visual to appreciate the depth and story of a song is just lacking in imagination and creativity.
