Oops sorry about that. I was a bit too keen to get back to my sky box!

Thanks for that. I tried the 0000 code, the Sky remote manual suggested that too but it didn't work. Neither did 1679, but luckily 1533 works. So all good now. Cheers!

Does anyone know what the standard Sky remote control Rev 8 code is for the Sony Bravia (KDL-42EX443) tv?

Thanks for your help everyone!

How does that work? I got the bit about backing up your files but not too sure how it creates the Windows 7 installation disk. I had a look at the Backup and Restore wizard and there are a number of options - system image, system repair disc, etc. Which one, and how, would you re-install...

Great, thanks for that!

I'm getting a desktop PC off eBay, it's got Windows 7 Pro installed and has a COA sticker on the side but doesn't come with the installation disks. If I need to rebuild the PC can I get a free re-installation/recovery disk or download from Microsoft because its got an original COA sticker? Or...

I have a load of MS Word documents created in Word 2003 that I need to update - font type, font colour, font size, header font, page and section breaks, etc. I'm now using Word 2013 and don't fancy having to go into each document to make the change. Can I update one document, keep that as a...

Yes I have legal cover with my full comp. I don't have the other driver's insurance details, they declined to give it to me because they wanted to do it privately. Are they legally obliged to give it to me? I last made a claim about 8 years ago when I was shunted from the rear. The other...

I parallel parked my car in a car park and the driver in the next car dented my door when they opened their door without looking; I was sitting in my car at the time. They admitted fault and said to let them know how much it would cost to repair as they didn't want to go through insurance. I...

I can't get full screen for videos in YouTube anymore. I went into Settings and unchecked the "Enable hardware acceleration" option but it didn't make any difference. I'm running XP and Adobe Flash Player 11.6.602.180. Anybody know what I need to change?

Just for information. The school have decided to move across to Windows 7, around Easter time. It will mean they'll probably lose some of their legacy softwares but they've decided to invest in newer versions or alternatives. All down to costs now how much they will be able to do.

All sorted, but its a bit long winded. So here goes... Firstly get the right code for your Sky remote. I was using 0000, its worked before and is still being quoted. Most of the Sky remote buttons work but not all, including the volume which is bit important. Searched on the Sky page and...

There is a Sleep Timer and a Idle Standby on the tv, but I've already set them both to OFF. Used to do the same with our last tv (a Sony Trinitron) so I'm sure it must be possible. Just used the standard Sky remote all the time, only ever needed the tv remote when the tv was switched off...

How do I stop my Sony Bravia (KDL-42EX443) going to standby? The sleep timer and Idle Standby are both set to OFF but it still keeps going off. There is no aerial just the Sky box. I turn on the tv use the tv remote, select AV1, then use the Sky remote. After I turn off with the Sky...

Thanks for all the great advice, hopefully the school'll be able to squeeze some life out of XP yet! Apparently the school has a Microsoft volume licensing agreement but have been told that the problem is not getting XP the problem is that PC makers don't supply the XP drivers anymore. A new...

The suggestion is that the school should move up to Windows 7 as a minimum for all PCs. You're right that all our current PCs are fine, but if any need to be replaced then the new PC would not have XP. So we would end up with some (old) PCs running XP and some (new) PCs running Windows 7. By...

A question about my local primary school. They're happily running XP Pro. Microsoft have said that XP will be supported till around March 2014 so they weren't planning to upgrade till then. They've been told by their IT service provider that they must upgrade now because: 1. All new PCs...

I will once I get back home. I remember using a bucket and milk container last time and it was pretty good. That was one of the reasons we changed to a combi insead of keeping the cylinder and fitting shower pumps.

Yes I was told at the time to just fit the biggest one, especially if you want a good shower. The biggest ones I can find are the Baxi Platinum Combi HE, the Worcester Bosch 42CDi and the Vaillant EcoTEC Plus 837. All are rated around 40KW but the max hot water flowrate (around 16 l/min)...
