RE: sky digibox won,t turn on

Hi Chanwai I pushed every button in every combination , Left the digi box unplugged over night still it would not turn on .So i went out and bought a second hand digi box it turned on but no signal .I got the ladders out and checked the connection at the L.N.B. It was o k .Went to Maplins and bought a new L.N.B. fitted it connected everything up and hey presto sky working again , Out of interest i reconnected my old digi box and lo and behold it is now working again .When the L.N.B. failed it must have stuck the digi box in the turn off mode or something .Thanks for your input.fw600vj

Thanks for the info GMAN i did not follow the link to the next page .I should have know it was too good to be true . I will get the local buy and sell paper and get a second hand digibox ,thanks again.fw600vj

sky + can i do this ?

If i cannot get my digibox switched on can i install a sky + box , I know you need a twin l.n.b. and two cables to use sky + to get two channels at the same time.But i would want to use it like a normal digibox just one channel at a time " argos sells a sky + box for £49 " .Would this work or am i barking up the wrong tree.fw600vj

RE: PC World DVD+RW`s at £15 for 25

Hi Spoonthumbs & Mrmicro I bought the 25 pk of dvd+rw for £29.99 on 26*12*03 and was not told about the offer of the free pack .So i rang this morning and was told to go back to the store i bought the discs from and claim the free discs.I went in and told them about the posting on DVD REVIEWER and after checking " i think the guy at the checkout thought i was trying it on " he said yes thats ok go and lift a pack .He could not find anything about £15 for 25 discs +25 free so it was worth going back.This offer and other offers apply to a deal like this if it comes up within 7 days of your purchase ," you will need the receipt" thanks again guys you just saved me £29..99 as i was going to go back and buy another pack.fw600vj :) :)

RE: Can Mini disc Players.....

Hi Guys thanks for the info so far , I got a sony MZ-N510 today great sound , I have tried the programme to transfer tracks to the mini disc a bit tricky but got round it after about an hour.I thought it is a bit mean of sony to NOT include a mini disc with the player so i had to go back out to the shops to get some .I got a ten pack of SHARP -R 80 for £6.49 from currys , Thanks again for the info.fw600vj

RE: my drives have vanished......

Hi Ben,neal,chris, i have checked the connections all in place, i renstalled the memory card but still no sign of the drives .After the memory card was installed and i put the card into it the light lit up so it is getting power to it but the computer is not finding it .I don,t have any other u.s.b. devices so i cannot be sure that the u.s.b. connections are working properly.Looks like i will have to leave it in to get sorted thanks for you help.fw600vj

my drives have vanished......

Can anyone shed some light on this.My floppy drive and u.s.b. memory card reader have vanished from "my computer" When i start the computer the light flashes on the memory card then goes out as per normal , but when i try to select it either through "my computer" or through the photo programe it does not show up . The floppy does not make any noise when the computer starts as it used to , i have tried another floppy drive which works in another computer but still nothing .In the troubleshoot i have followed the new drivers etc and it tells me the device is working but it is not working any ideas.fw600vj

RE: PHILIPS DVDR980 Clock Problem

Hi Magnius I had the same problem with a toshiba video , it turned out to be the ariel lead i had not plugged it in . The video was set in the morning and when i got back from work it had lost about an hour , it could be the same problem i did not record through the ariel lead always through the scart lead so i had not plugged in the ariel lead.I think the clock sets itself via television transmission times.fw600vj

RE: Northen Ireland......How are things now?

H i jon maybe i was being too general but not to mislead the people on the forum , the gangsters are still in power even though stormont is on hold . You know and i know that all these hoods arn,t going to give up the easy life and get a job it would not pay them enough . Thanks to the actions of these so called freedom fighters i have lost very good friends who i grew up with simply because they were in the minority in the area of belfast that i live in .None of these scumbags represent the way i want to live and the friends i choose to have .Over the last thirty odd years i have been one of the lucky ones and have not been shot or blown up unlike thousands of people in northern ireland who have been murdered and maimed by these self proclaimed saviours.fw600vj

RE: Northen Ireland......How are things now?

Depending where you live but a lot quieter now " the terrorists from all sides are in goverment " So if they don,t get what they want the trouble starts . Paramilitarys from both sides are still involved in beatings , protection rackets , bootlegging d.v.d.s videos c.d.s , cheap smokes, drink, A lot of turf wars over areas under control of hoods " remember jonny adair and his mob got chased out of n.ireland." A few months ago a local drug dealer was killed he has not WORKED for years but was living in a £ 180,000 house which is quite expensive for a house in n.ireland , and a recently formed police unit which has powers to confenscate dirty money property cars etc was able to recover almost three quarters of a million pounds from the late drug dealers savings . So apart from the criminals cleaning up at the moment things are a lot better.fw600vj :/

cd rewriter

My H.P.7500 jammed last night after burning a music disc ,despite putting a paper clip in the hole to release the drawer it will not open "any ideas how to open it " so i went to P.C. WORLD today and bought a LITEON COMBO DRIVE .WOW what a class drive the H.P. used to take almost an hour to burn a disc tonight i burned 30 m.p.3.s. onto a disk in under 2 minutes plus i can now watch d.v.d.s. on my computer thanks to power d.v.d. programme and nero express which you get with the LITEON COMBO DRIVE and the best bit was i only paid £59 i think i got a bargain.fw600vj :D
