Hiya guys finally back on here after ages of not having a computer , hows everyone been keeping ? Had a good christmas? Glad to be back on

Any ideas what I can do? TV working fine, good reception on all freeview channels (and freeview HD channels on TV directly). Hook up my new surround sound system (LG BH9520TW) and have a play with the settings listening to music and with a dvd, all fine. Stick it on the TV and first few channels I try say no signal, others have jumpy pictures and a few are fine. Switch off the surround dound system and I gett all my channels back! No point having a semi decent setup like this if I can't use it for every day TV watching. I've got a booster plugged in already.

What have I missed??? Oh and happy new year.

We are pulling our hair out here, so I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction? We have just changed our internet provider to BT and despite some connection issues we are up and running an connected to the internet with a hub. My problem is that I use Thunderbird Mozilla to manage my work emails and even though I have changed the POP and SMTP settingsto those that BT suggest, I still cannot send or receive mail. One message that comes up is that the mails adresses need to be authenticated? I have trawled the net for hours now and I have tried to get help from BT which was a waste of time. Has anyone else come accross this? …

Ive managed to get my old telescope back, not a very big one, but enough to see the planets and the moon with, but i want to progress and start some astrophotography, ive been looking at CCD camera's but i already have a DLSR and want to actually mount my Canon to the eye peice to get some awesome shots. Im a bit limited at the moment though, as just want to practice the basics on my small Newtonian before upgrading to something larger with a 8" mirror minimum and a motor mount for tracking while doing long exposures. My set up at the moment is a 114mm (4.5inch mirror) 1000mm focal length sky watcher telescope, with a EQ1 mount. pretty basic and not the best in t…

Heres a tricky one for you. My daughter lives and works in China. This morning she purchased a brand new Galaxy 3. Everything is in Chinese obviously ! She managed to change the language function so she has an English keyboard etc so she can set it up and use it ok. The google apps, play store where the apps for Viber etc are all stored is in Chinese. Question is, can this be changed to English or will it be Chinese permanently because it was purchased over there ? Any ideas ?:chinese: Alan............

I look at a lot of car adds and you see the words "mint" and "as new" and of course 99% are not as described. Sometimes less is more like this awesome M5 :drool: If I win the Euro Millions tonight its mine. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C304463
