      Surely you only need to wash your plums if you intend to put them in your mouth?

      Can someone help please - interference on picture

      That makes me wonder about a less than perfect PCB connection which varies with heat from OK to not OK through partially OK affecting voltage/current/resistance characteristics.

      It is not about time, it is about likelihood and simplicity.

      That would be first on my list to do something about.

      I use ARC to mostly relay sound from my Chromecast dongle and only occasionally from my laptop over HDMI to the TV and not noticed any problems such as you describe. I always let the TV handle upscaling on the basis that it knows its own capabilities the best.

      I got the 660H. The old one is still able to function as an analogue input stereo amp if need be.

      That is out of date as the Toppy being SD only is no longer in use and did have the capability of doing similar intelligent timer setting through the wonders of the third party MyStuff app. I have in the past contemplated getting a T2 but that time has long gone and the golden age of the PVR is...

      It seems the correct use of programme and series identifiers is becoming sloppier and sloppier by all broadcasters. I wonder if this may be because the task is being allocated to people who think nobody really cares any more as it is all available on catch up, Another example of annoying...

      DAB+

      Yes, there are some mobile data coverage black/grey-spots in a few of the villages round here which can be a problem when streaming live sports coverage. But OTOH DAB radio coverage is also patchy in town so it can sometime be a constant battle switching between the two to get continuous...

      DAB+

      My car radio from 2013 is DAB+ compatible. Of the several other DAB radios I have only my old Pure Evoke (which now serves the kitchen) and my old Pure 1500 personal radio are not. I replaced the 1500 fo a newer DAB+ personal radio which is more sensitive and so I can not only listen to TMS...

      Media mistakes

      I was not suggesting they hadn't. I was mentally musing on how these tables so often pay little heed to longevity of a career when comparing performances. For example Our Jimmy's number of test wickets is indeed stupendously amazing but needs more careful consideration of the number of years...

      Media mistakes

      Not to mention that dividing the number of runs by the number of innings is not how you work out the average.

      Media mistakes

      The price of micro-chips is apparently going through the roof. But then again going through the roof should mean different things depending on the direction of travel.

      Media mistakes

      I remember my Gran moaning about petrol going up to 3s 6d per gallon! And beer was 2s a pint when I first started drinking (after removing school tie and blazer before entering the pub). :D

      Surely any spelling mistakes on a professional media service is disappointing?

      I gave it a go on my BT Youview box last night and that didn't work. Will try it on my Chromecast dongle next time but I am not hopeful.

      I though they had blocked the skip to the end to play all the ads at once while you do something else with your life route? I will give that another go.

      Unless you are prepared to be more helpful and explain how I will continue to assume you are being a fantasist.
