Sky+ Remote

Hope somebody can help!My sky remote broke down and i ordered a new one from ebay,straight away after recieving it i didnt need to put a code in for the television it just worked.Only problem is that now when i press the sky button it flicks the tv onto channel 8 rather than the sky channel.Does anybody have an answer.

What ISP to recommend!

Hi folks i am looking to switch ISP`s as i am paying £27 per month for 1 meg broadband.I am currently with Fast24 as they bought over Central Point but i dont like them.Problem is that i dont know where to start,so can anybody recommend an ISP.

moco direct!

Hi there has anybody had any dealings with MoCo Direct, seem to be perfectly legit but offer sounds to good to be true ie.double my anytime minutes and texts for the same price as i pay just now for 6 months then when the rental goes back upto £30 i just downgrade to £15 again.It doesnt sound right and i need convincing.Thanks in advance Footey.

RE: USB`s Stopped Working On Son`s Tiny Laptop

Telboy i have a Fujitsu laptop,only 2 months old and its off to get fixed as all usb ports failed, again no matter what usb device was plugged in.My modem for example would last for half an hour before the lights went off and the laptop wouldnt recognise anything to do with USB and it would report malfunctions etc,anyway i phoned them yesterday and they are replacing my mainboard and heatsink,hard drive formatted for bugger all!

RE: Help with DVD Swap magic

i backed up my fifa and need for speed with nero 6 and it works perfect with swap magic.

RE: Swap Magic 3.0 with sliding tool

i also got the toc message and invalid ps2 disc errors when i first used the slim tool,what i did find helpful was not to open up the lid as far as it would go but to open it just making sure you could get the disk out and no more.For the invalid disk thing try making sure tool A is definately in the hole tight and not slack.

RE: Swap Magic 3.0 with sliding tool

i had great fun installing this and even void my warranty,tool b managed to shoot into the playstation and wouldnt come out.I had to strip it all down.Managed to eventually get it out then piece back the console to get it back working.Main question is does tool b just fit in to the slot or does it need clicked in.in my playstation it just seems to sit nice but i dont know whether it has to be clicked into place or not.

RE: Where to buy Asti!

why? - Im getting hitched in May and we decided to buy our own sparkling wine rather than pay over odds for it at our chosen venue! Best deal so far seems to be Costco who are around the £3.70 mark.Cheers to everybody for replying.

Where to buy Asti!

Does anyone know where the best place is to buy Martini Asti Spumante.I am looking to buy around 60 bottles and have searched everywhere for a decent price but to no avail.cheers

RE: underrated films

Remember coming home one night and turning on the Tv and i could not get myself away from a movie about an Australian serial killer.Film was called "Chopper" it was that good i ordered it in America next day on Amazon.A film full of crazy humour!

RE: JAVA GAMES FOR 6230 :::::::::HELP:::::::::::

If you use the latest Nokia Suite Software and click on Nokia Application installer you can easily transfer your game files over to your phone,all you do is select the folder where the games are and you can transfer them over.The rules are you can install anything to your memory card but when it comes to games you need to use the suite to transfer game files to the application folder of your phone.Hope this helps!

RE: Recomend a bluetooth dongle.

Try this little fellow.I also had to make a decision about buying one of these for my 6230 after reading so many reviews i was stuck until i tried this, but it works a treat with my nokia suite and the software which is on the disc.

RE: Actimel

Well i am going to back this stuff up,its worked wonders for me. 3 years of stomach hell came to an end thanks to that little bottle.Great price by the way.

RE: Advice needed please!

Well the thing is i was planning to buy the normal version of this tv with dvd and video for £780 now currys are doing it with DVD for £699 and also chucking in a/v sender thought i was getting a good price do you all still think its worth it?

Advice needed please!

Thinking of buying the 32 inch Philips on special from Currys,question is even though the tv has built in freeview ,i live in an area where freeview is not possible but would the tv still allow me to view my normal 4 stations?

Would appreciate any feedback.

Cheers Martin

RE: Pheonix Nights Vol 1 and 2 only £14.99

I think everybody who ordered the dvd will not have a problem concerning the price, i recieved an email last week from W H Smith telling me they couldnt take any payment from my card as i had made a mistake and my order was cancelled unless i phoned them up with my corrected details.I thought all hope of getting a bargain was up in smoke but when i called them and spoke to the order dept i was told not to worry about the price correction and i would still get it for £14.99.So there you go some people can hopefully relax now.

RE: Beef Monster Munch are back!!!!...What other foods should return?

Everybody else has had a go at mentioning sweets so what about one of my favourites a Cabana,i think it was coconut and chocolate mostly.Was the chocolate whoppers mentioned earlier also known as the Chelsea Whopper?

101cd.com -Make sure its a no go!

Just a small note to warn people off from using this mob.It was only after reading a previous topic where somebody praised this lot that i had to write this.I ordered a cd off them that didnt work,six emails have been posted and not one reply back, i have made sure reference numbers and email addresses are correct but to no avail.So be wary if buying from them.They are simply not good enough!!In my opinion the best place to use is cd-wow there service is first class.I have only had one problem,a late delivery(in the end 2 days late,Royal Mail to blame)but they replied back within 20 minutes of my email and were very considerate and polite.

RE: Pioneer Plasmas going outrageously cheap in Bristol!Dodgy or Not!!

There is a good chance that it could be Carrington Road instead of Corrington Road no doubts somebody on the forum will know excatly where it is in Bristol!

RE: Pioneer Plasmas going outrageously cheap in Bristol!Dodgy or Not!!

Ok Folks the address for the place is

A1 Screens
Corrington Road
Bristol.

The guy seems legit but lets wait and see.

Pioneer Plasmas going outrageously cheap in Bristol!Dodgy or Not!!

Hi there just had to put this into the forum.An advert was placed in the Glasgow Herald last Wednesday offering brand new Pioneer Plasmas seriously cheap a 43 inch model (pdp433hde) was £2000 and the 50 inch model(pdp 503hde at £2500(Savings of £4k).The phone number was a mobile number price, included delivery and installation.When i phoned the number the options to pay were credit card, postal order, bank transfer, but if i wanted to pay by credit card i had to visit the store in Bristol.God knows how far that is from Glasgow and i dont want to risk a credit card order incase i get ripped off.So basically does any one know or have heard of this order.
