Freesat reminders problem
|
| |
Recently my Bush SD Freesat box has been allowing fewer and fewer reminders to be set at once (intially 4 or so at once, none at all now!). Anyone else heard of such a problem, and/or suggest a solution (software upgrade? cold boot?). TIA for any ideas... Rob

Chips in Ford Car Radios, and Sky TV
|
| |
A relative had their car, a Ford, broken into the other night and only the radio was stolen; nothing else was disturbed. Four other cars in nearby streets, all Fords, were also broken into on the same night and just the radios were stolen.

Splitting signal behind the telly

I'm hunting for a PVR suitable for older people (many of them aged 80+), who'll find timed-recording onto VHS difficult after switchover is completed here. As the unlucky owner of a Sagem 160GB PVR, which is probably the worst product I've ever owned and definitely not fit-for-purpose, my skepticism regarding... more »
