To save me sitting in a queue does anyone know the answer to this?
The BT line at our new place should be connected on Monday 10th March, how long do we need to wait before we could have broadband on the line? I'm just going to move my existing pipex account across.
Edit: Seems Sky LLU is...
We've had Sky tv for 2 years now and will be moving house soon. If we get the place we're currently looking at then there is no dish up. Do Sky charge you for setting up a new dish?
Their website doesn't say and I don't fancy being stuck in a telephone queue to find out unless I have to.
My dad's bought my mum a new pc as well as a new boxed XP and boxed Office 2007.
My mum heavily uses her email (Outlook 2007) for work so she's got thousands of mails and multiple email accounts. What's the best way to transfer all this data without losing anything or having to piss around...
Which Nvidia 8800?
Which Nvidia 8800 gives the best value for money? Looking to buy one after xmas probably, don't really want to spend over the £200 mark but it all depends on the answer to my question.

After 2 years of Linux loving I've gone back to windows. :eek:
Although WINE/Cedega has come a long way, it seems I'm just unlucky and none of my windows only games are supported. I have a console but have always preferred the...
No matter which item I choose from the menu e.g. Entertainment, Movies etc they all say: "There are no services of this type available"
If I go in via Favourites then I can view the channels.
I've tried leaving the box off for 5-10 mins and turning it back on and gone through the new...
Available as of yesterday I believe.

It's rendering a lot quicker than 2 for me on my Linux box.
Does anyone know where I can get one where postage isn't silly money? One place sold the bezel at £2 something and then postage was over £6!
Or if you've got one doing nothing let me know!
Anyone using OpenDNS having any problems lately?
I'm having bouts where pages are taking ages to open and then suddenly it's fine, then back to slow and so on.
Can't find the Pipex DNS to try those.
I've created a map that I want to share with hundreds of placemarks.
The problem I am having is that so far it's split them onto 2 pages (I may end up with 3 or 4) and it will not show ALL placemarks from those 2 pages.
If I click on page 1 I can see page 1's placemarks only and likewise...
Some pretty amazing sights that you probably wouldn't find on your own.
At the end of each description it tells you what to search for to see them for yourself.

Getting tired of the seemingly random interference with mine. I only have to nudge a cable and suddenly I'm getting scrolling lines down the screen.
Can anyone recommend a good (as in no interference at all) AV sender?
I use the receiver directly above the room with the sender in. If I wasn't...
As some may remember, I chose to upgrade my 2Mb Pipex to their "upto" 8Mb Pipex last year, after many delays it finally took place in January, however despite my modem syncing at 8Mb, I could still only download at 2Mb.
After many phone calls and letters that never got replied to, I gave up and...

Windows - switch to sky view and CTRL ALT A
Also works under Linux - use normal view not sky and press CTRL ALT A
With both you may need to just move around a bit before CTRL ALT A will work.

I've got a Samsung U600 with a 3.2 Mega Pixel camera.
Just been out and took a few pics, but in the majority of them the grass / vegetation is incredibly washy.
What have I done wrong / what setting needs changing?
Here's an example - click to enlarge.
This one seems fine and I changed...

Used to use Beryl so I know compositing does some pretty cool stuff, but installed Compiz Fusion today.
Few things that are ooking really nice so far - cube & expo...
Why don't mobiles have their own voice mail service rather than replying on the provider to offer the service?
I've downgraded my tariff which means I would have to pay 20p a minute to listen to voice mail, so I've turned it off!
Land line phone's have their own answer machine, so why...
If we receive or make a call from or to a landline then the line is insanely quite and we have to strain to hear the other person.
If someone on a mobile calls then we can hear them very clearly on our home phone.
We rent the line from BT but are with Sky Talk.
I'm a tad confused and at a...
