  Can I Connect Old HP Computer Monitor to HDR
  
  I tried connecting them last night via HDMI but the first time the laptop just switched straight off as soon as I connected it. When I restarted it there didn't seem to be any way to get rid of Windows and bring a blank screen up so I'm not sure if I'm missing something or not. I read online...

  Can I Connect Old HP Computer Monitor to HDR
  
  It's me again! My TV is kaput and until I get a new one, can anyone tell me if it's possible to connect my laptop to the Hummy so that I can use it as a screen temporarily? It has an HDMI connection so is it just a matter of plugging a cable into each one?

  Can I Connect Old HP Computer Monitor to HDR
  
  Thanks for all your help everyone. I think I'll have to buy a new TV though before I try anything else, unless there's a genius amongst you who can tell me how to fix my old Samsung LW15E23. It would seem that it needs capacitors or a power board from what I can glean online so I don't think...

  No it's not but I'm not sure what it actually means! I'd thought about that but wasn't sure if I'd need the screen to do it. I've been mulling over installing it for years but we haven't had any updates for ages so I think I read somewhere on here that there's not going to be any more, is...

  Has there been some sort of disruption/update today?
  
  I have it set to switch on at 7 p.m. every night so I never actually see it switch on as I'm not there so maybe that is why I've never seen any notices? Thanks for your help.

  Thanks Black Hole. The thing is I have never had a message flash up on the screen. Which channels did it appear on? Yes, I'm aware of the customised firmware and it's been on my to do list since the warranty ran out but haven't done it yet.

  I have lost all my scheduled recordings for tonight and all the long term series recordings like when it does an automatic update. The last update was 7th February 2014 showing 1.03.12 so it can't be that. I also have the Hummy set to switch on a 7 p.m. on BBC 1 every day but it has lost that...

  I don't have custom firmware installed. I'm running Version 1.02.28. I do have the Power Off Timer set to 2.00 a.m. but nothing Scheduled to start at that time. So how long does the OTA update normally take?
