@honeybee85 Not sure if you have the netgear or sagem. I had a retail netgear and wireless strength was always very good.
@honeybee85 If you have sagem this may help http://bit.ly/abjgtH Another option would be to use your sky router just for adsl, then plug
@honeybee85 in your "good" router via ethernet to the sky box, and use that one for wireless (though extra power..)
Is the BT network still down? That's a pretty catastrophic failure. someone will have some answering to do
@honeybee85 know what you mean about "if I get sick of". sometimes you just want things to work without the hassle..
@Tuesdaytweetup @Julian1967 I really enjoyed the dow for a drink. Haven't eaten there but looking forward to giving it a go
Apparently it's true -- tinternet is used up north, well usually -- RT @BBCTech: Broadband failure hits thousands http://bbc.in/aOrA5w
@honeybee85 I signed up day 1 and not used it since. I find lastfm scrobbling/neighbourhood & spotify/facebook more interesting
@honeybee85 but then no iphone, just ipod & use other devices (pc, tv, nokia phone too) so prob not really ping target market
@honeybee85 I've been disappointed lastfm really hasn't gone anywhere for years though. frozen in time, lost opportunity imo.
@icicle_halo_ great hayley. See you tues.
@icicle_halo_ #fail .only hayley that comes to mind is from paramore. I was listening to bob/airlplanes earlier. Subconscious p/haps
Have to be up at 0630 so must sleep now. Night all.
Oh the joys of getting up at 0630 on a w/end. son sorted, dishes done, pups now having play. Finally a coffee!
these pups are determined to locate clean washing, drag it around the kitchen and then chew. Arrgh
finally watching last episode of ashes to ashes
Anyone know what delivery hours HDN (home delivery network) do on sats. Just seen an mazon order is out for delivery (supersaver sat del!)
@EmpireSteve Umm. yes. bit of a letdown really imo
@AndyBold seems like it. Was surprised to see a supersaver order made Thurs late pm out for deliv today though. works for me.
@juwlz that's a smart idea. A google search suggests it could be anytime. Looks like someone in all day though so will wait/see
@OzoneVibe similar, also remembering it's #f1 in london on Sun, and hope to watch quali before that!
@SlyRenard Or any LLU supplier like O2/Be or sky? #BTinternet.
@xspyda they just delivered!
Sony bluray hooked up. The bravia internet video is a lot better than the samsung tv. In particular iplayer quick to get to offset
Miracously the samsung/sony seem to interoperate great with hdmi-cec. Power on/off/menus etc. Sony av synv works for lipsync on dvd
Like the podcast app. Even favs like geekbeat play nicely
@davejlocke no. O2.
@noelrooney the old (6?) one is in playroom. The 18yr old 25" nicam is free to anyone who wants it
@xspyda sony bdp-s370 and some hdmi cables
@f2point4 we have a couple of those ultra slim dimmers. Must be all of a few mm deep. Brilliant. (Rc too)
@f2point4 as you depends on the light. Our current dimmers are the special microprocessor ones that support low voltage lighting/transformer
@noelrooney if you... Or anyone else wants it. Shout.
@juwlz you missed the later tweets so now bd enabled. Not that i have any media and 7.1/hd audio needs new spk/amp. Old 5.1 for now..
@xplane0202 2 3m amazon basics
@xplane0202 cants believe how in comet a guy was telling someone how each more expensive cable in the range improved the picture!
@xspyda just looking at the sony interactive stuff - it's definately more polished than the samsung which is visually appealing but not deep
Um... so old 5.1 amp (all in 1) isn't decoding DTS over optical from the new bluray .. UhUh. ok what setting do I check!
@xspyda yep. Playing a DTS encoded dvd, old amp (sony integrated jobby) just showing "pcm" (2.1)
@xspyda over optical. I'd guess it's settings if not time for a new amp!
@xspyda I thought it was, but must have picked my only disc that is dts 96 (a queen dvd) - original drive doesn't decode either!
@xspyda Put shrek in and getting DD 5.1 ok through BD box
So @xspyda what audio do most Bluray discs have? what about freeview HD? sky HD? wonder if the amp is going to hang on in there ...
DVDs look rather nice upscaled on the BD player..
So it appears @xspyda there is a DTS downmix setting - need to check it's set to 5.1 not pcm. (tv in use by OH right now!)
Tonight could be interesting on #xfactor. Halloween then. Will be very interesting to see what cher comes up with
@OzoneVibe but you wouldn't get rain there...
@laura_marieee that's the trouble with families, they get in the way of things like #f1 and #XFactor ! I would end up watching late at night
It turns out dts 5.1 works fine bluray->sc5 amp as does dd, but not on one disc marked "dts 96/24" (queen). Is that rate typical
Or rare. Also the queen dvd has no dd track. What about most new bd discs?
And @HedgeWatch oh reckons wagner will do thrillwe. Imagine the dancing....
A quick google search suggests dts 96/24 is fairly rare. Even more so without an accompanying dd track. It would be the 1 picked off shelf!
Mary good uptempo. Didnt get aidens tho #xfactor
Danni was spot on for belle amie. Vocals didnt gel #xfactor
rebecca. wow. #xfactor
treyc looked like red riding hood! #xfactor
Matt is v. good . Thought he made the song different. Pretty good though rebecca has it for me #xfactor @Kateroon
RT @LauraLeslie23: The only one who's really been good good tonight has been Rebecca though. #xfactor
Wagner! #Xfactor who knows
Wagner *is* #xfactor....
What! Wagner #xfactor
Simon 'what the hell was that' #wagner #xfactor
@mike_griffin_f1 yep
@Kateroon i think he should go tho sorry
@amandagolding amazing
@amandagolding just end up watching glued to screen/sound
Paije and katie didnt stand out for me at all this week #xfactor
@H_Kovalainen def strongest category? Favourite? Rebecca here. Unique superb voice. Love to listen to her recordings
Cher will be worth watching #xfactor
Now that was a surprise from cher. Not a rap in sight. Really enjoyed it. Superb #xfactor rebecca/cher top 2
Oh mary 3rd fav #xfactor
Belle amie, wagner may go. Treyc/paije/katie could be in troub (treyc despite good perf) #xfactor
Recap cements cher and rebecca as standout performances of the night #xfactor
Serious lipsync issues on itv2 for me #xfactor sky ..
Lip sync fixed. Itv a bit slow on that #xfactor
