Hi Everyone, I am moving into a new house next week. We will use an internet-based IPTV system and the bandwidth in the neighbourhood will only support a single IPTV receiver. The main TV viewing will be done in the basement but I would also like to watch TV on the ground floor. The house has a...

The illusion is created by the fact that the two triangles (red and green) are not similar. The green triangle has a height of 2 squares and a base of 5 squares while the red triangle has a height of 3 squares and a base of 8 squares. The top arrangement looks like a triangle but it is not, it...

Hi, I'm coming to Edinburgh with my wife and kids tonight. Does anyone have any suggestions for places to eat? We're looking for good fish and chips, haggis, and maybe a deep fried Mars bar. Many thanks.

Thanks. I will give them a call when I get home tonight. I just wanted to try everything before calling them out.

The old setup had no filter because there was no phone. The new setup includes one filter in line with the modem. Yes, I have the old modem still. I watched the installer when he was working in the apartment, he used some kind of splitter to connect one copper pair to two jacks on the wall...

Hi, I just changed internet providers with the promise of faster speeds for lower price but big surprise: the new service slower. Is it possible that since I currently have two DSL signals on the same line they are interfering with each other and that is why it seems so slow? I should be...

Thanks for the advice. How do I know if the cable is good and RJ11 jacks are terminated?

Hi, I'm not sure where to post this so mods please move as you see fit. I have ordered a new internet/home phone/IP tv package that I hope will be installed next week. In preparation of the man coming to the house with the new modem I would like to get some of the wiring set up. The only...

Thanks for the reply. I think that my wife is down to about 3 Gb left on the 40Gb drive. I bought a 250 Gb USB drive to free up some space. The problem is that the laptop has every picture we've taken in the last 5 years on it. I need to find a proper backup/archive solution for them before...

I agree with the spirit that I should be able to access the router but I think that I would probably just wind up changing a setting and losing the internet for the entire house. The signal is WEP encoded so I'm pretty sure no one else can get on. The last housekeeping on the laptop was about...

1. It seems to make no difference if my laptop is on. 2. I haven't tried browsing with the PC connected directly to the router but will give it a shot later. 3. I have not tried with firewall/AV disabled but if the problem comes up again I will try it. 4. Firefox is using 97,000K, svhost.exe...

Hello, Maybe someone out there can help me with a problem I've been having. I have DSL internet (128kbps, I think) with wifi. The only wireless devices that connect are a Nintendo Wii and two laptops (mine and my wife's). The Wii is almost never able to connect but some research has shown...

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right section for this question so mods please move if you see fit. I couldn't get NASN this morning. Did anyone else have problems? I hope it's just a key change because I have really been enjoying the NHL games. Thanks

Sounds fantastic (ugh). Start with cheap ass brandy and then add the cheapest Spanish something! Why not add some rubbing alcohol or paint thinner for good measure :P? I think I'll stick with my barley pops.

Hi, forgive my ignorance, but is there an advantage to running so many programs that (by their names) appear to scan for similar things? Having said that, I will install it on my home laptop tonight!
