EEVblog #69 – Sex Toys, Telescopes, Cable TV, UHF Modulation, Renewable Energy, & Silly Shower Taps
cable television
Dave goes on holidays to Hawaii and rants a little bit about a variety of things, yet ultimately manages to tie Sex Toys, big Telescopes, Cable TV, NTSC, UHF Modulation, Renewable Power Generation, and bad product design together in the one blog.

Those big ugly cable lines are likely phone lines. Cable TV lines aren’t extraordinarily thick – perhaps 15 to 20mm for the backbone variety hung from pole to pole. But telephone cables are full of copper local loops, a minimum of 25 pairs per cable, and possibly hundreds. Those big black cylinders are splice points or punchdown blocks/junctions. Despite some areas getting fiber to the home, we will likely have copper local loops for decades to come.

And on the subject of TV modulators, if it’s an NTSC modulator, it almost certainly outputs on Channel 3 VHF (61.25 Mhz); UHF modulators are quite rare in the U.S.
What is not rare are confusing shower controls in hotels. A lever or pull-up knob on the spigot is standard in homes, but in hotels sometimes you have to pull down on a ring around the spigot to switch to the shower. It’s VERY well-hidden. Also annoying are the fiddly massage heads… I just want to take a shower!

I really agree with you there! Why do people moan about wind farms? I would rather see them rather than fossil fuel power stations! I live in Wales, UK and you always hear that the town next door or town nearby people signing petitions because they dont like the look of windfarms WTF??? I really dont mind them at all.
Anyway another great vid Davey

Oh man, I *HATE* the valves like that. I’m in the US, and I only tend to encounter those in hotels. If I’m not mistaken, most states here now require a single-valve control for showers. The lawmakers claim that its to prevent scalding, so that you cant turn off just the cold and burn yourself. The ‘hottest’ setting on the single tap will still mix in cold water.
In my house, I have a single knob for hot and a single knob for cold. Its the one thing I’m in fear of losing when I remodel.

You and your missus had a great time!
I disagree with you on wind power – OK Hawaii have plenty of wind but you need a LOT of windmills to generate the same amount of power as a single conventional power station, for example a 100 square mile wind farm is being built in the North Sea that will generate 1000MW which is the same power output from a coal-fired power station covering maybe 2 square miles! -
