Re: [ARSCLIST] MP3
You could have installed a horizontal sweep reversal switch on the yoke
so that when watching Global TV the orientation would have been correct.
All print would have been mirror image , but we can't be too
picky...can we ?
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha !!!!
No excuse for hum or noise on a cable, or over the air signal for that
matter.

Or the cat had good taste. Kidding aside, I'm still amazed when a
broadcaster
puts out a signal with audible flaws and does nothing about it. CFTR
(680 News
in Toronto) has a HUM, clearly audible on my car system (no other AM or
FM
station has this problem that I've heard) and Global TV has a constant
high-pitched whistle on my digital cable. Of course for years Global
also ran
every program with the audio channels reversed, something you'd notice
only
when Homer Simpson drove off to the left and the audio was on the
right.
