Hi Paul, The current version that I'm using doesn't install - it runs directly from the SD card, so it overcomes any potential data loss if you let your battery run down. When I'm on the road it plugs into my 12V system. The 3D mapping is great (compared with the 2D that we've had until...

A more flexible alternative which I am very happy with is to get a pocket PC with 5 inch screen and built in GPS. Then you are free to download whichever program takes your fancy. My PPC is HTC X7500 (aka Athena, aka Advantage) running WM6. Car mountings are available. My favourite software is...

Three years later.... what was the result? It's exactly what I am interested in doing...

I keep coming across international tournament(s) on Hispasat on various Digital + channels at the moment. Can't say what tournaments they are though as I'm not interested.

Thanks for the suggestions and feedback. I clicked on the little logo at the top, and as I went in to the next page explorer crashed. But noting the address of that page I restarted and went directly to it, by-passing the Mona Lisa. All was well for about ten seconds.. then crash. So next I'll...

When I go to www.plus.es I get a large image of the Mona Lisa and nothing else. So I click on her and explorer crashes. Tried it on both IE6 and 7 beta. Anyone else with a similar problem?

I've been following this thread with great interest from Turkey, I'm interested in Julio's message - I've been trying to imagine rubber transmissions and so on but got lost! Fortunately he has included the original Spanish. Can anyone attempt an English translation?

Thanks, Rolfw. The sockets are the UHF type that have been used in homes for donkey's years. I think I've answered my own question; from a google search: Quote: Check that there is a direct connection between the digibox and the TV Link with no other parts in line, for example, isolated wall...

I've just moved houses and the TV sockets have some resistance built in, which blocks the signal from my LNB to the receiver. 20 dB is stamped on them. My last house had the same. I ended up ******* the sockets about to cut out the resistor and make a direct connection from cable to centre...

Maybe he replaced the Kaon with a Dreambox, but then the thread title wouldn't be "Kaon problem". More info please! Anyway, such things as occasional freezes are common in some versions of software, often when new keys are being calculated by the receiver...

Ignore anything you might read on the Microsoft web site. I used Power Quest Drive Image and Partition Magic a few years ago to arrange a dual boot system (XP and Win98). These proggies are now discontinued, although obtainable by file sharing no doubt, but Acronis www.acronis.com has equivalent...

I'm just experimenting with this and am very impressed. After doing a full back up of whatever set of folders you decide to include, you can then choose to update just the changes at intervals of minutes, hours or days, whatever you want. For example, I set an interval of two hours. The update...

What are your experiences with GMail? I read Google's blurb about how happy customers were about so little spam and decided to give it a go. My wife was already using it so she invited me and I got registered. She gets plenty of spam, but then she keeps giving her address to greetings cards web...

The beauty of using drive imaging software, like Ghost, Acronis True Image, PowerQuest Drive Image (discontinued), is that when your operating system gets messed up, whether by virus, tinkering or whatever you can get back to a clean version in a few minutes. But as others have said, you have to...

Someone enlighten me if I'm wrong but I thought that people with Kaons don't use cards because the receiver is downloadable with software that does the same job.... or is Dragoncam more capable than this software?
