To should be tv. Damn autocorrect.

I'm running a HH4 that has awful wifi drop out. Upgraded to infinity and got sent the new router yesterday. Plugged it in before the engineers been and its ran solid for 24hrs so far touch wood. Getting bt tv installed too with the uhd box. Just need a new to now.

are there any good packages around for a 500gb? Looked Boxing Day and they all seem to have gone. Best I've found is Game with COD 4 with little big planet for £285 then get gta v off amazon for £32. Anything better? I'd like the new 500gb if possible.

Could you not try binx nuts?

I'm running a media pc with xbmc and all my films ripped to my NAS, which is perfect. However what's the easiest way to stream films or sports? Is it an add on to xbmc I need?

Panasonic replaced my plasma a year and half out of warranty with me just paying for couriers. Your tv should last longer than 18 months!! Did you pay on credit card? Maybe they'll get involved?

The saloon is lovely. Went to Audi to thrash out a deal but A.) they couldn't be arsed to talk to us and B.) they want silly money for them.

^^That's pretty much how the conversation ended. It is connected to the master socket, it's just that everyone I spoke to asked the same set of questions. I'm happy to spend more than £50 if it stops me having to reset the bloody thing every other day. lol.

BT didn't want to know, just kept asking me to unplug other stuff in the house and make sure it's connected to the master socket. I'll have a look at the Draytek, not sure I'll be needing fibre for quite a while though.

Switched to BT Internet about 3 months ago when we moved and whilst the line speed is fine for our needs the router is the worst I've ever used. Constantly dropping the connection over wifi and other niggles. We probably have to turn it off every other day. BT were a waste of time over the phone...

Some awesome installs there. We've started creating a lot of LED based lightboxes for work and I'm going to incorporate some LED into my lounge renovation. It's amazing how the price of the tape has come down, a few years ago we were nearly £200 per roll, we're now down to £30 for RGB.

I hadn't ever noticed that. It's also present if you right click on the start icon.

I disliked 8.1 to begin with but like everything you just get used to it. I now think it's pretty cool and as mentioned right clicking the start button saves mucho time. Not sure if there is a work around to shutdown quicker though. It's a pain hovering to a cover waiting for settings to come...

Has anyone purchased this and either had it installed or fitted it yourself? Whats you opinion? Is it better than Nest? I'm tempted just not sure which version I need. I have a combi boiler so I think its the one that does heating only. Can I get the hot water one and not use that part unless...

You could do 2 separate cells with countif. One for the "Yes", one for the "Maybe". Then create a 3rd cell to add the two together?
