yeah and have you seen the prices? double the normal, estimates are around 60-65 from sky.. and thats just 2 movie channels and sky sports in HD No freeview simulcasts for a while for the BBC or ITV networks.!!!

thats what i said. A good quality DVD player will upscale the information that it is given. I dont know how it is done, but i have seen the difference between a Denon DVD player with Upscaling and a silmilar model without. It is something to do with the interpolation of lines. Imagine you...

HD (High Definition) ready for a dvd recorder at the mo means that it has a HDMI or DVI input/output. This will be an advanced form of scart lead. Its a bit of a misconception at the mo and i'm not even sure there are and HD ready DVD recorders yet as High Definition disks dont exist so you...

we have guys in the office here who swear that their Matsui/Accoustic Solutions TV sound and look much better than the major brands. I used to work in currys and whilst some of the lesser brands give good value for money the amount of returns we used to get of goodmans, matsui etc was...

I read somewhere that laying heavy plastic over the entire earth underneath our house would solve damp problems in our lower house. Whe have typical 1900's house with suspended timber floors and beneath the house the crawl space is earth. its about 1m between the earth and the floor. Would...

i'm no plasterer, so i dont recall how to prevent it happening, but the primary cause of these cracks is shrinkage. I think its do do with that plaster drying too quickly. Hope this helps in the mean time.. but it does seem to be quite common in buildings that i inspect.

can always change your GP i've done it twice now, all you need is a reason, and i just cited family issues, but then both my parents are nurses at the local hospital (now THATS underpaid), and know most of the GP's and consultants and always falling out.!!!

gave up this afternoon, and as i was driving past a dealer i called in. They knew exactly what was wrong. actually both bulbs had blown at the same time., with the Hdi engine there can be a build up of static from the alternator drive which shorts out and blows any lights that are on. the...
