According to the handbook and the menu settings I should be able to select between RGB or CVBS. My Panasonic TV tells me the signal is not RGB. My TV automatically indicates if its getting an RGB signal from my technomate or from any other device connected to one of its RGB compatible scart...

I had a similar problem with mine. The problem only happened on BBC channells for some reason. the problem sorted itself out after a few weeks. I had the same thing with a Goodmans box which is identical except for the price. All these alba boxes seem prone to allsorts of glitches, my grundig...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Yes. I meant to say Outlook not Outlook Express. So from what Rolfw says, it seems I could use one single mailbox address on Outlook (ie the adress provided by my ISP) but also set it to download my Yahoo Webmail. Does this mean I can divert several webmail...

I currently have my Technomate connected to a dual feed dish using a Disecq switch to switch between LNBs. If I connected a second receiver to the LNB output of the Technomate (ie the loopthrough) would I be able to use the second receiver to watch one satellite while the technomate was tuned...

Which of these is the best? What are the diferences? I have Windows Mail which came bundled in with my Vista but i have never used it. Should I try using it instead of Outlook Express? Someone said it is much better but didnt say why.

At one time the free evaluation version never expired but now it does actually expire after the 45 days it seems. My mate doesnt seem to have this problem and his version never seems to expire. I must be doing something wrong. Is there a way I can get winzip without it expiring and becoming...

I wonder if the spectrum that is freed up by analogue switch off will actually be used for more digital tv channels. I heard talk of the freed up spectrum being sold off to mobile phone companies and other communications based applications.

This infuriated me when I went down the Freesat from SKY route after my freeview terrestrial signal became blocked by a new building. I rang SKY and asked if I could delete all the channels which I couldnt view. The answer "NO" so i have to wade through them. Its also anoying that SKYs EPG...

Thanks for the replies. Once i have it all set up is it ok to leave the cable permanently connected between the receiver and the PC? i was worried that powering up might damage either the computer or the satbox if cable connected all the time.

I used to use a null modem cable connected to the serial port on my laptop to load software onto my sat receiver. The laptop is dead now and my desktop pc only has usb and not serial ports. Ideally I would like a cable that is USB at the PC end and serial RS232 at the receiver end. It need not...

Rendezvous TV on hotbird was dire. I think originaly it was called TV Erotica. It just showed all this dreadful french amatuer stuff. It closed down within months. Anyone remember Channel Bizarre (CBTV) on 16 east in the late 90's? It was ran from the UK and uplinked from Holland. The quality...

No they are still there. Seems to alternate between mature content and the game shows and telephone s_x adverts. The hardcore they do show is not very good though.

this might seem a stupid question but is there a similar patch for the Humax 5100? Or indeed any patch for the 5100?

These are the cheap ones available for £30 from Asda. They get good reviews and play all types of disc. Two questions for any of you who know about these machines:- 1) What features does the 1002 have that the 1001 hasnt? It seems to me the only difference is an LED display 2) Do these output...

......where abouts can I post a question relating to DVD players? Sorry for posting on the wrong sub forum but I cannot see a suitable place for my question.
