Hans will have a visitor staying over for some time, and the 7" TV is probably too small for 2 persons to watch simulataneously, therefore a larger screen is needed. After investigating all stores, the Sony is selected due to the image quality, brand and pleasant white color.

Viewing TV

It is 21:07 and Hans has just started to watch Die Hard 2 on TV3. The signal was sent out on the appartment cable TV network. The signal passed two boxes before arriving at the composite antenna input on the TV set. First the composite signal from the cable outlet goes into the TV2-network box. The output from the box is then fed via SCART to a separate converter with composite output for the TV set.
