I used my foxsat on a homeplug link last year and it was fine. I find wifi extenders a bit temperamental when used a repeaters as they need to work with the router. I set mine up as wired extenders instead. If you do use a fixed IP address, you might want to add it as a reserved IP on the...

Oh I had the cassette version of Elite on my BBC B, but later got the Disc version. The Atom would have been very slow!

I should have recommended Oolite a long time ago. I've tried it a few times over the last few years and it's matured into a proper stable version of Elite. Completely free still.

Thank you, that sorted it :)

I'm getting this message when trying to remotely set up a recording on BBC 4 HD. I found a post on another web site suggesting a temporary solution using telnet, but I tried this and it had no effect. http://myhumax.org/forum/topic/unable-to-set-recording-remotely Could that solution still...

I can't actually figure out which ITV HD region it is. I've cancelled the recording from my schedule and I'll try it on ITV+1.

East Midlands so I think it's on Anglia.

I thought this also, but it's been picking up Corrie without fail!

My HDR box has repeatedly failed to record Jeremy Kyle, scheduled on ITV HD at about 9:30am weekdays. There's nothing else to clash with it, and it's not saying there's a conflict. The box would be in standby at the time from the night before. Is there any reason why it would keep on missing...

I've still got my original moto Xoom. It's been relegated to a bedside gadget as it's heavy compared to modern tablets. I've got a 7" Asus MemoPadHD I picked up in Tesco for about £65 in January, and a Nexus 7 2012 I got mint second hand for £60. :doublethumbsup:

I used to groan when supermarkets did a BOGOF offer and I was carrying a rucksack on my bike. Not an issue now, but plain old "half price" is preferable. Now I read all of the price-per-litre details on packs of beer *ahem*

I bought a cheap Arduino Uno clone on ebay for about half the price Maplins sell them. The IDE is very nice and all 'C'.

Here's a nice company who have remade a few old BBC Micro games for the PC. http://www.ovine.net/retro-remakes/

Do you skip these bits of programmes too or is it just me? I find it intensely irritating to be shown what will happen after the break and usually fast forward it.
