RE: Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3 Digital Camera 5Mpix, 6X opt, OIS £89

Hi, I have this camera and it does not have sound on video (I feel if you want decent quality video you really should buy a camcorder) The other features 6xOptical zoom at 5megapixel and 7.5 x Optical zoom at 3 megapixel plus image stablisation make it a real bargain.The Amazon Bytestor 1GB sd cards work fine in it by the way I bought 2 so hope this helps.

RE: Twin tuner Freeview box

:) Hi I bought one this time last year and yes they were very troublesome many flaws in the software but I kept with it as I liked the box and it`s ease of use.They finally released 1.6 firmware and since then the machine has been alot more stable and now with the 160gb hard drive it is a very good buy which I would buy again.I use it on our main TV with a liteon 5045 dvd hard drive recorder with no problems.

RE: NTL 1Mbit @ £9.99 Per Month for a Year

Like all providers NTL have to be competitive and if you ring them saying you would like to leave for a better offer they will haggle a better deal.I recently phoned over a tiscali deal I`d seen for unlimited 2mb plus free calls for £19.99.Add BT phone line rental thats over £30.I was on 300k plusTV family pack plus free local calls after 6 and weekends at £47.99 and felt angry like the original poster.When I phoned they offered me a price £37.50 a month for unlimited 2mb plus TV family pack and free national and local phone calls after 6.I accepted this it`s over £10 cheaper than before, so do haggle a bargain.
I have a friend who also got a deal when he said he was leaving. I`m sure others will come on and show even better deals than mine.The point is it`s like gas and electric or bank accounts most of us cant be bothered to change but if you have some fact to show them you are serious, they wont want to loose you.

RE: DVI Graphics card help

Graphics card would have to be AGP, the Asrock motherboard will take it according to the link you gave.
Look on ebuyer or similar site for a cheap AGP graphics card with Dvi on and you will need a Dvi cable. I found my cable on ebay much cheaper.

RE: B&Q INSTORE SALE

gd2 You appear to think im telling porkies why would I start this post, I have a reciept and can provide a photo as it`s still in the plastic cover,but the bargain is all items of the clearance at your local store I was very lucky to get this you may have found something else of interest and been lucky too.Point them to this website and complain as mine was definately £7.50 sounds a bit naughty of B&Q to me.If you really want one the price for this on most websites is around £20 delivered so it`s still cheap at £15.I can recommend them as I have used my brothers.Yes he is p-ss-d off too as he paid £25 for his last year.But then I should have bought the Tapwave pda he got for £89 I told him to get it from Curry`s, then I found I had waited too long and they had sold out. The moral is you win some - you loose some. I`ve had some good deals off this site thanks to all for their input and if I see things I think are bargains i`ll keep posting them.

RE: B&Q INSTORE SALE

gd2 mine was the only one left at the Macclesfield store with a sticker saying, clearance today was £15.00 now £7.50 on it, so I was just lucky im afraid it depends what your store wants to clear as to what you have on offer they had a surge protector extension lead lots of electrical cable and door handles and the air conditioners and some other bits around the store so it`s a case of checking to see whats on offer and do you really need it.
