mozam76 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Doesnt look like it. Something to do with the sheer volume of frequencies etc - you're basically trying to do the same job as a tv transmitter. Are you sure thats what you need though? Could you not hook up an AV transmitter to the BT box at one end and the tv at the other? I'm not sure X. I've got a TV upstairs that has built in Freeview, but it only finds channels if it is hooked up to an outside aerial. When I fired up the BT YouView box I (wrongly) thought that it would take all its channels from its Broadband connection - however when I done the first time channel find, it came up with nada because it wasn't hooked up to an outside aerial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Having 'Green Screen' issues when trying to watch a video. Youtube generally remains unscathed but videos on BBC Sport or FB are all suffering from 'Green Screen'. I have the most up to date version of Java and with Windows 8, Adobe is working fine. Any clue on how to solve this? Could obviously provide more info if needed. I'm using IE if that helps any. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, you could run a cable from the aerial point to where the tv is, and put the BT box there Or, you could plug the BT box into the existing aerial point and use an AV wireless transmitter/receiver to send the signal to the TV.

throbber Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 In fact take it in the bath. Sellotape a tesco bag round it to waterproof it and you'll be fine. Don't be silly now - as i said before its on the toilet about 2 foot away from the bath 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'm in the market for a new laptop and in all honesty I seem to have lost track of what to look for, going by the stuff I've looked at so far. I mostly just use it for the internet in all honesty, but I do stream a good amount of TV./films and hate waiting for buffering. I also would like scope for FM etc if I so desired. Basically, what should I be looking for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing to do is set a budget and then look at the stuff that falls into your price bracket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko A Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Moving into a new flat in Edinburgh at the weekend and I'm looking around for a decent internet service. Needs to be reasonably fast and have no limits - but also not be too expensive. TV in the bundle isn't too important. What would you guys recommend? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) My laptop has an issue, it comes up with a message 'boot failed' then it tells me [ HDD/SSD] is failed. Is this fatal or is there something that can be done? Edited October 2, 2014 by Zen Archer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 What model of laptop is it? Toshiba Satellite C660-1D7 I bought a new one today, but would like to recover the old one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobles Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Stick your old drive in a caddy then download getdatabackntfs and install and register it Connect the caddy and run getdataback, select your old drive and just follow instructions. Only select your profile folder and any folders you have created for recovery as you don't need all the other stuff. if your drive doesn't show pup it in a freezer bag and leave it in the freezer overnight then then try again. Sounds daft but this trick has worked for decades 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 What are EE like, as a network? I'm wondering RE coverage mostly. My 12 month sim only deal with Vodafone is up soon and I'm not overly impressed with what they have on offer. EE look to be offering much better for my money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been with T-Mobile/EE since Christ was a boy and id say its pretty good. Having said that the signal in my work is non existant whereas the Vodafone users have a great service. The only place in the world i cant get a signal.....and Arran. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
