    Windows Live Messenger

    2 Queries. How do I delete contacts that are in my block list? Why does it keep signing me on as busy?

    Anyone still on 56k?

    My first provider was The Free Internet (TFI) and you had to pay a years subscription up front! What made it worse was that we had a DACS BT line so the max connection speed was 28k.

    Anyone still on 56k?

    I know a few people who are still on 56k because BB isn't yet available to them.

    mcafee, get shut?

    Upgraded my brothers pc last week so fresh windows install etc. He wanted Norton 360 on it despite me trying to convince him to use something else. The speed reduction after installing it was incredible, it turned a perfectly good upgrade into a piece of s**t. As far as he's concerned he would...

    Dual widescreen setup

    Maybe you're sitting too close? Honestly you will get used to it I'm sure.

    Dual widescreen setup

    You soon get used to dual screens. I tried it just to see what it was like as I had a spare LCD sat doing nothing. Been running a 22" widescreen and a 17" for ages now and couldn't go back to just one screen unless it was bigger than these combined (2960x1050) I can watch a video full screen and...

    mcafee, get shut?

    I can recommend Bitdefender 2008... the free version is limited though but you can pick up the paid version from a reseller for a few quid.

    Microsoft scum - Don't even have MS Office!

    Not yet, you'd have to use a converter the same as if you wanted to open them in 2003. From what I've read native support should be coming soon.

    Microsoft scum - Don't even have MS Office!

    Just in case you missed the few mentions about OpenOffice here you go again ;) You can open in .doc format which is what MS Word saves it's documents as and you can also save in .doc format. OpenOffice is a free office suite.

    Sky tv help

    Once they have you they know it's hard to live without Sky so you'll pay them what they want I guess. Our original install was free, it does take the piss that they seem to value new customers more than existing.

    Sky tv help

    They'd want £20 to move that? f**king hell! I've actually got one of those although it wasn't called a tv link, can't see how they could justify charging anything. You just unplug it and plug it back in!

    Sky tv help

    Any idea what a tv link is that they'd want £20 to move?

    Sky tv help

    Who'd want them to come out if it already had a dish and cabling? :S

    Sky tv help

    I know this would probably be easier just calling them but the last time I did I was in a queue for a good 20mins so I'm trying to do it via email. All I wanted to know was a fixed price for just a dish and wiring at the house we're moving to. We've been with them a year so have our own box...

    Microsoft scum - Don't even have MS Office!

    Sounds like my dad, he apparently uses google when we wants to look at web pages. Google is his homepage so that's what he thinks he's using.

    I can't see what speeds that mobile BB comes in but I wouldn't expect much...

    Microsoft scum - Don't even have MS Office!

    OpenOffice will suite most people's needs and as has been mentioned is free. http://www.openoffice.org as well as open formats it will also open and save in MS formats (*.doc *.xls etc) Not sure why you'd except a product that you have to pay for to come free with your laptop anyway?

    BT Vision

    Is there anywhere that lists what the current on demand programmes are?

    BT Vision

    ^ Just to add that my BT phone, BB and TV order didn't go through because the site didn't tell me you have to wait 48hrs after activation and can't order in advance which is probably a good thing after finding out how much aerials cost.

    BT Vision

    Cheers mate, spoke to a nice lady that has put me on the 18 month contract for £62.50. Shame I can't go longer really. I'm back in 2 minds now over who to go with as I've found out the new place has only got a loft aerial and local aerial companies are quoting me £80+ for a roof aerial. With...

    BT Vision

    Put in my order last night but it seems to be buggered. The summary page came out with the wrong offer prices and wrong normal prices plus the telephone package wasn't shown, so waiting for them to call me back. Why's nothing ever simple! Also got to have a BT engineer come out and fit a line...

    BT Vision

    What kind of stuff do you get via on demand? excluding the movies I mean.

    BT Vision

    BT Line rental = £10.50 BT Vision = £9 (TV + Kids) BT Together Anytime = £7.95 BT Broadband Unlimited = £24.99 Total = £52.44 that's standard price. With discounts in the first 6 months it would be £43.44 If I used Sky for everything except the line rental: BT Line Rental = £10.50 Sky TV...

    BT Vision

    How does the on demand stuff work? For example if I subscribed to the TV viewing pack, what would that give me that I wouldn't get on freeview? is it specific programmes that they choose or extra channels?
  28. ViolentJ

    BT Vision

    Working it out, line rental + bt anytime + bt vision + unlimited bt broadband comes to LESS than what we pay sky just for tv and unlimited calls.

    BT Vision

    Trying to decide whether to continue with Sky when we move or go with BT vision. Has anyone got BT vision? How reliable is the service and box, what do you think of it overall? Is it possible to get any movie channels? Is this service via a roof aerial or broadband line? We...

    PC Upgrade

    That AMD bundle is good value, same one I recommended to my brother actually (putting it together for him this weekend) you would notice a massive difference from your current setup. As for a graphics card it depends on what you want to spend. An 8600GT would be more than adequate for what you...
