So, mum's television died yesterday; no smoke or screeching noise this time, it just died. I no longer have a TV as she has appropriated mine in turn.

The vacuum cleaner just died 20 minutes ago in a smoking heap.

The death of domestic appliances during the past 16 years in our household; 4 televisions, one computer, 2 exploding light bulbs and 1 vacuum cleaner. Mum and I are pretty sure my television won't last too long.

So, awesome friend-list, how do I go about converting my computer in an Entertainment centre, TV reception and all?
