Almost electrocuting yourself really hurts...
Saturday, December 13, 2008

... the title says it all really.

I just nearly electrocuted myself setting up my new freeview box.

Taking out that personal accident insurance the other day now seems like a very good idea

thanks,lol.

a freeview box is something you connect to a TV to pick up digital TV. It allows you to have more channels than the standard 5. otherwise I'd be lost without my daily fix of Gilmore Girls (which you can only get on digital)

"it wasn't even plugged in. I was trying to put the tv aerial in the back, picked the wire up and got a shock. The aerial isn't even connected to a power supply, lol"

Damn that stored electricity!

Also, NOW I get it "freeview box" = Television! Duh!

Yeah, I bet, which leads me to a question, what were you trying to install the "freeview box" on, and could you have dissconnected the power to the equipment?

p.s. I'm really not trying to patronize you, I'm just curious.
