Does anyone have one of the new sky "hub" routers?? Has anyone changed to this from one of the older ones and is it any better?? My old sagem one is fine if you're close to it, but when I'm upstairs the connection is very flakey, and often even if it claims it's connected, you can't actually...

Anyone got one?? I bought one for the folks last week, and the remote seems to have a fairly odd feature - wondered if this was normal. Essentially, it seems as if it needs "waking up" before it will do anything. It seems to need a button press (seems any button) before it will do...

So, got sky plus in main living room in the house, and then multiroom and old standard box in my room. I'm planning on getting hold of a plus box for my room, and twin cabling is already installed. Do I need to call sky to get 2nd multiroom subscription altered to "plus", or will it work...

Has anyone got one? any thoughts? I think it's a tesco brand, but quite like the fact that many of them can record to USB stick/HD. They haven't got duel tuners, but can be used for pausing TV I guess.

Anyone got any recomentations of free software to re-size disk partitions within Windows XP? Basically, got 1 HD with 3 partitions, that are odd sizes and want to adjust them.

Has anyone ever had a problem updating apps from the app store? My 3GS seems to have an issue at the moment. I go to the app store, and it tells me which apps need to be updated. I click on "update all" and it asks me for password, which seems to go in ok. Then it's back to my desktop...

Am I missing something here? Have just bought a pair of Seagate 7200.12 series 500Gb drives, planning to run in RAID 0 on my Dell XPS420. They are replacing a pair of Western Digital Blue 250Gb's that has had a failure on one of the drives. However, when I run the PC up (not installed OS...

There was a thread on here a while back detailing how to use 1 iPhone with 2 separate itunes installations. Seem to remember there being a link detailing how to modify some settings in a HEX editor so that it both installations would work. Was sure i bookmarked it, but haven't. Also, did a...

Has anyone got any problems with the youtube iPhone app when running on Vodafone 3G?? It used to work fine, and still does when my phone is connected to me home wireless. However, on 3G i get a "this video format is not supported" 9or something like that) error. Any ideas?

Anyone know if it's possible to get Windows XP to tell you what it's serial number is?? Got to do a re-install for a friend i think, and he doesn't have the serial number recorded anywhere! It's worn off the bottom of the laptop somehow.

I have a 1TB External drive that I use for backups etc. There is currently about 350Gb of stuff on it. However, have just come across an annoying issue where by it is formatted in FAT32 and hence can only take up to 4Gb single file size - and I want to put a file that is about 6Gb on...

I think I must have corrupted my contacts file somehow, but does any one have any suggestion to fixing it. If I try to add a contact from my desktop machine, i just get a message saying that "Windows live service is not available now" and that i have added the contact, but they will be...

I'm sure I must be missing something, and i'm sure it must be something fairly simple!! I have a desktop PC, running Windows Vista that is cabled to a Sky Router. Laptop also running Vista on wireless. Am trying to get laptop to be able to access files that are stored in "my" area on the...

Ok, been trying to sort an Advent PC for a mate. All started with some random Blue Screens i think, then got to point where it would just re-boot virtually as soon as it started. So, he tried to run the recovery application (without format), with recovery partition. That wouldn't work, kept...

Have recently updated MSN, as i got fed up with it asking me everytime i logged on! However, it's giving me grief, and generally getting on my nerves. If i leave the PC, and it goes to screen saver, when i come back, MSN has come up with an error, and wants to shut down. Error shown below...

Is the SD card used for expanding TomTom memory a standard SD card, or something special (i.e needs to be purchased from tomTom)?

Anyone got one?? what do you think? cheers

Anyone having any issues getting to Windows update?? I get a "thanks for your interest" message when i go there now, suggesting that my laptop is infact a mac. I downloaded SP3 from there last week or maybe week before, so not sure if that is anything to do with it. Anyone else having this??

Anyone got any thoughts/specific recomendations on USB TV tuners?? Thinking of getting one to use with laptop while i'm out and about., I'm kind of thinking that it makes sense to get one with both Digital and Analogue tuners - just incase can't pick up digital (can't pick it up in my own...

Ok, i've got something of a strange fault. Put my Sony Memory stick (from Digital camera) into the card reader on my HP Laptop. Look in my computer and sure enough, there sits an icon for "Memory stick (F)" just as you'd expect to see. However, double click on it and it says "Please insert...

Anyone use Talk Talk for their broadband?? and if so, how do you find it?? It's looking like going with them would be cheaper for us at home, i'm just suspicious of their BB. Not really sure why! Am with Orange at the moment, and despite some of the negative press they get, i have no...

Anyone know of anywhere that provides POP email rather than just my isp. My mail from my ISP (orange) is really pi****g me off atm, as it seems that orange's mail servers are blocked by some other mail servers so mail just doesn't get through. I was looking at gmail, seems good but it...

Right, i've been intending to buy a new laptop for some time now, but just never seem to get round to it!! I want something that's relatively small - thinking either 14.1 or maybe 15.4 screen. Not sure if i'm going to use it as my main PC or not yet - possibly. In that case i'd probably use...

Got a problem with my Sky digital. Fairly sure it's the LNB that has gone, i just randomly lose signal on certain channels. Not all of them, just some, and it's always the same ones that go when it happens. From talking to a few people, sounds like it's the LNB that has gone. Have spoken to...

Got a bit of a problem with a file. I created a presentation last week at uni in Powerpoint 2003. Opened it and did some work on another PC with power point 2000 - worked on slide layout and added some comments. Not trying to open it on a 3rd PC with Powerpoint 2003 and it can't open it...

I've got a problem getting onto MSN messenger - i've had the problem before, but what i think i did to fix it hasn't worked this time. I've just done a fresh install of XP, and now can't log into either MSN messenger, or Windows messenger. I had this problem before when i downloaded an...

Anyone know the score with the front fog/driving lamps relating to MOT's. Mine has a broken glass, but the lamp still works perfectly. I understand you need to buy the complete unit and can't get glass (fairly obvious i guess!). I think it's a failure for MOT, but not totally sure...

Had a nasty experience yesterday (worse as i was 220 miles from home!!) Started car, and tried to blip throttle, nothing - just sat there at idle. Noticed that i had the Electronic/ECU fault light on the dash. Tried stopping and restarting but that didn't help. Had to disconnect Battery...

Now, i know technically the Haynes Manual doesn't cover the 172. What does this really mean though?? Is it just the engine that isn't covered?? Is it of any use for everything else?? I found my Saxo one useful when i had the car, even if just for knowing how to take interior bits out to run...

Guys, got a fairly big problem!!!! What can anyone tell me about the Exhaust system on an 02 plate 172. Mine has blown out big style, somewhere near the back. I'm not fully aware of where the system splits, how many sections etc. Haven't had chance to get under it at the moment. however...
