I'd forgotten that! :D

I don't get it. What's this got to do with John Wayne? :D

Yes, using an access point is very straightforward. You'll connect the device to the original Sky Router via a Cat5e cable and, set up as an access point, the device will create a secondary wifi network in the house. This secondary wifi network should preferably be named differently from the...

Since you said that running a Cat5e cable is not a problem, then Rolf's suggestion (an "N" access point) is -in my humble opinion- the best option around. It's also totally hassle-free, and straightforward. Whether you set it up as a signal repeater or as an access point, it's all very easy...

My 890 got updated last week or so, and it is not slower (nor faster) than the previous EPG. It is much clearer, though, and much more pleasant to read. Banners are now see-through, so they are a bit less obtrusive when you're watching something. If you find your EPG to be slower than before...

Sorry to revive my old thread but I thought I'd let everyone know that the rain cover I fitted over my lnb a few months ago behaved surprisingly well in the amazingly strong gales that hit the country a few weeks ago. It didn't move at all, and never made the lnb arm wobble like mad - which...

My 1m Orbital moved down by a couple of degrees, but the bolts really needed to be tightened, so it might still have happened without the gales.

With a room that size, I'm not sure I'd bother with surround sound as the speakers are literally going to be shouting at each other (no offence intended!). I believe you'd be better off with a fairly high quality stereo system, which would undoubtedly sound a lot more pleasing to the ear and...

Sorry, but that one should NEVER be deleted. I watch it every time I feel a bit down :D : _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfeI0Y7lHkw

Which satellite is that on? :D

The landing never took place, because the moon itself doesn't exist. Merely an illusion to have gullible people believe in tides and werewolves. Fortunately, I know better.

More than one, but less than 6 billion

Damn it, I'm outbid. I'll never rule Endemol. To think I just had so many great ideas for new reality shows, like this new version of Dating in the Dark that would be entitled Dating in the Light, in which all the competitors are blind! Or this new version of Money Drop, entitled Idiot Drop...

Gee, some people are visibly sooo wealthy they don't mind investing fortunes in just any kind of rubbish... Oh all right then, I'll match that offer! I'll add another 10p to it and I'll also include my old (malfunctioning) washing machine as a bonus. You didn't expect such a counter-offer...

Don't worry, Clémentine. Huevos is right. Just get yourself either a Fransat or TNTSat pack from a French supermarket, and provided your dish is aimed at the correct satellite, there is nothing more to worry about. The information on the website just means that selling those packs outside...
