HDR-FOX T2 sorted?
Definitely. My original 42" Panny plasma is still going strong after 10 years, despite all the horror stories about burn-in. I've put many hours on it. It's been replaced by a newer 50" HD model in the living room but is still doing sterling service in the bedroom.- selectortone

TwonkyMedia port over possible?
XBMC was developed on the original XBox, which was essentially just a jazzed up PC. The XBox360 is much more proprietary and there is no version of XBMC for that system.- selectortone

Streaming iTunes over wifi through HDR Fox T2 from laptop
A less expensive alternative to the Airport Express is a bluetooth music streamer like this one from Belkin. Hifi snobs would probably turn their noses up at it, but for casual listening the audio quality is fine.- selectortone

Assume v. Presume
What really grated was that the reporter was reporting from outside the Rolls-Royce (formerly Bristol) aero engine works at Filton. Sir Stanley Hooker would have been rotating in his grave. As, indeed, would my ex-RAF pilot Dad.- selectortone

The email was from a bt email address I'm familiar with and the "find out more" link is kosher. (It works in the message I cut-and-pasted above too -- isn't html wonderful...)- selectortone

Broadband Disaster
I called an ex-colleague with a better memory than me: it was ISDN2 and it was the late 90s not mid 90s as my faulty memory seemed to recall. Anyway, enough nit-picking - my basic premise was: BT=bad, Virgin=good, Sky=spawn of the devil.:)- selectortone

Broadband Disaster
OK, let's take these one by one: I was a BT ADSL and broadband customer for over 20 years You should have got a decent ISP.

Broadband Disaster
I'd rather be boiled in oil than give a penny to Rupert Murdoch. I was a BT ADSL and broadband customer for over 20 years, but after moving into my present home in 2000 the service has been awful. Years of slow speed and disconnections, resetting that damn BT homehub every few days, many...- selectortone

HD File Formats
I've also found that saving VideoReDo H.264 edits to .ts file is the quickest and least troublesome method. I then use Handbrake to transcode them to .mkv. Handbrake will convert .ts to .mkv and compress hummy files to well under half the original file size with negligible quality loss. Bit of a...- selectortone

I've never needed to use network shares automount on my laptop to play a file from the Humax.
