    Eurovision

    Well, your worries are over: edmi.parliament.uk/EDMi/EDMDetails.aspx?EDMID=33238&SESSION=885 an MP is calling for the UK Parliament to get involved. This should improve their standing with the disillusioned general public who just thought all they did was put up taxes and argue about nothing...

    Eurovision

    It wouldn't be Eurovision without the dodgy voting ! All I can remember of older showings was Scandinavia and Cyprus/Greece. Germany gives that Turkish noise 12 points... can't be anything to do with all those Turks living in Germany can it ? The thing that I really love about the new enlarged...

    TVP1,2 and 3 missing from Cyfra+

    It wasn't there at 8am (after leaving the box on overnight), but popped back into life at 9.30. Confused ?

    TVP1,2 and 3 missing from Cyfra+

    Hi, I have a basic subscription to Cyfra+ which has worked well for a year (currently MGCamd 1.22 + NewCS 1.20). Yesterday, TVP1, 2, 3 and TV4 disappeared. TVN still shows, which indicates that the card is being updated - does anyone else have the same issue, or is it me ? Thanks, Ed

    Unable to mount CIFS share - Not a directory

    Hi Paul, it works if I don't have a newline, but it prints out an additional "smb: \> " prompt which looks scruffy when it appears on the TV. Just a question of personal taste. Cheers, Ed

    Unable to mount CIFS share - Not a directory

    Unable to mount CIFS share - Not a directory

    Hi OldBen, I can mount the drive through DOS or SMBFS, so the name must be correct. I've created a rather messy work-around - a file called smb.cmd containing two lines: mount /hdd (the second is blank, I just wanted to be sure that a carriage return was sent), then running the following from...

    Unable to mount CIFS share - Not a directory

    Firstly, apologies if you've seen this posted on another forum - I'm desperate! I'm trying to mount a drive that works perfectly well when attaching from a PC or laptop. In an attempt to get it working, I haven't set a password. It's a NAS box which has no way to set a user, although looking...

    'Please insert card' error

    Hi Slacker17, you still need a "free" card: _http://www.freesatfromsky.com/?pID=6 I already have digital satellite equipment - what else do I need? All you need to get access to the free channels available on the digital satellite platform is a freesat viewing card which costs just £20. Have...
