Electronics, Home & Garden, The Gadget Show No Comments »

For decades now the focal point of many a living room has been the television, quietly beaming hours of entertainment to an expectant family. And while this remains the case, the television isn’t just confined to your living room anymore. Gadget Show presenter Ortis Deley looked for the best budget television for your bedroom, and here was the winner:

Hanspree 28 inch SV28LMNB TV

 Best Budget Bedroom TV as seen on The Gadget Show

This Hannspree 28 inch TV took the prize of Best Bedroom TV according to The Gadget Show for a variety of reasons. The SV28LMNB only has 2 HDMI inputs and 1 scart, but Ortis Deley considered this more than enough for him and his bedroom. The remote has a nice weight to it, is well laid out and easy to read. Whilst not overly attractive, the EPG of the Hannspree SV28LMNB was functional. Picture quality in both HD and SD is very good.

Zeebox App as seen on Something for the Weekend, Free

 show left 300x153 Zeebox App as seen on Something for the Weekend, Free

Zeebox was the last item featured on this week’s Something for the Weekend gadget round-up. It’s a free app available for iPad owners, coming to iPhone and other platforms soon. Zeebox is a social media app dubbed ‘the new way to watch television’.

Zeebox works with Sky and Freeview, and it knows what you’re watching. It features a tweet stream relevant to the TV show you’re watching, and shows you which shows are most popular in real time. Zeebox also allows you to buy relevant stuff, and view relevant links connected to whichever TV show you are watching. Tim Lovejoy said that plans are afoot to stream live TV through the app, so you can watch and interact at the same time, on the same device.

Gadget girl Lucy showed off Zeebox’s live Twitter stream and news links. She said it was an essential hub with which to access everything related to the TV show you are watching. News, links, tweets, information and more. On top of all this, you can connect with all your facebook friends via this clever app – to chat about the show you’re watching with it’s built in messenger, or just to let your friends know what you’re watching and what you think of it. Peter Jones said that Zeebox was undoubtedly the future of television and TV interaction. He loved it.

FireText Smoke Alarm as seen on Something for the Weekend

Electronics, Home & Garden, Something For The Weekend No Comments »

p3946 main 300x300 FireText Smoke Alarm as seen on Something for the Weekend

The FireText Smoke Alarm was the first of this week’s Something for the Weekend gadgets. Our first thought was that a smoke alarm that sends you a text message when it goes off is a bit ridiculous, but it can actually be put to very good use. If you’re not at home and a fire starts in your house, let’s say from a faulty electrical cable, the text you immediately receive from the smoke alarm will allow you to call the fire brigade who can hopefully whizz round to your house and put the fire out before it has chance to take hold and reduce your dwelling to a smouldering pile of ash. It is also great for owners of business premises in this respect, and can save an absolute fortune worth of damage through it’s early warning system.

The FireText Smoke Alarm, as Something for the Weekend gadget girl Lucy explained, is also great if you’ve got elderly relatives. The Fire Text Smoke Alarm contains it’s own SIM card which can text up to 4 different numbers at once. So, you can have peace of mind that Nan’s house isn’t going up in smoke. This texting smoke alarm is surely the future of smoke alarms.

DIY Gadgets as seen on The Gadget Show

Home & Garden, The Gadget Show No Comments »

On this week’s The Gadget Show, Suzi Perry was paired against DIY expert Tommy Walsh in a DIY challenge. Tommy had the benefit of all his years of experience, against Suzi’s latest DIY gadgets to help her.

The first set of DIY gadgets Suzi used were the Bosch PLR 30 Laser range finder or distance measure, and the DIY Calculator App, which only costs 59p and allows you to work out the volume of paint you need. You can also download the Painting Walls Pro App, which lets you take a picture of the room and then paint the walls on the picture to see what it will look like in various colours.

Suzi then used the Earlex HV5000 Spray Station to get the paint onto the wall in no time. The Earlex gadget pushes high volume air through at low pressure, breaking the paint up into a fine spray for precision application onto walls. Much faster and more precise than a roller. the Wagner W660 fared even better in this respect, getting the paint done in no time.

Next up was the Phototex paste-free, self adgesive wallpaper which goes on the wall in no time. It can be removed and re-adjusted if you get a piece in the wrong place.
