Hi, I've just uninstalled Norton 360 off my dad's laptop cos it was f**king with the email. In the short term I need to install some kind of free product, was thinking about just going for AVG but wondered whether there are better alternatives out there? Thanks Ric

I bought this one at the weekend :) Very happy with it, the picture on the built in freeview is decent enough but not spectacular (as you would expect with basic standard definition), but upscaled DVD's look very good and the sexbox through HDMI is the dogs bollox. For the price, it's...

Might just be a case of moving the aerial about. At my last house I could only pick up a few channels on freeview initially but after turning the aerial round through about 180 degrees I more than doubled the number of channels we got. The place that I'm in now I don't get any of the ITV or 4...

Got mine today. Very nice it is too :)

Well, last timeI had a line reconnected I know they charged us £125. They should be able to give you a breakdown of what the £130.99 is made up of??

Not necessarily. More often than not they'll charge to get the line reconected even if all the hardware is installed in the property. Did someone from BT have to come out to get it hooked up? It sounds like this is what has happened tbh

IIRC the charge for BT to reconnect a line is around £125 so it could be that this is what you've been charged for.

So have they actually cancelled the line? Or activated it?

I've got to say that since this photography challenge began you can tell how the quality of the photos has massively improved! Its testament to the good advice thats been handed out in this forum and the imagination of the members taking the photos :) Well done to all. Pic no 1 does it for...

Hi, don't usually venture into this part of the site any more but I'm currently on the look out for some 13cm co-axials for circa £100. Favourite at the moment are the Rainbow SL130's but thought I'd open it to the floor before paying up. Anyone had any experience of the Rainbow speakers or...

Ironically PC World are currently doing a very good deal on Dell Inspiron 1525 laptops. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1005382537.1220086664@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccfkadefddjejdjcflgceggdhhmdgml.0&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=290907&category_oid=-35054...

A friend of mine is setting up a small office for a company he's starting up. Only need three machines, nothing to high spec as its all going to be basic office work. He's asked me about getting second hand kit. I've only had experience of new PC's and am a bit concerned about buying second hand...

Hi, I’m in the market for a sub £150 compact camera. I’d like something as flexible as possible, would rather pay for a good quality lens over a high megapixel count. I would also preferably like something which will allow a certain amount of manual control over shutter speeds etc. However...

Like this? http://www.empiredirect.co.uk/content/products/details/index~modelcode~PAN-TH42PZ800B~dept~ctv~subdept~PLASMA~brand~panasonic.htm Thats twice the price of the one he's been offered! Don't think they'll got for that

Can't remember the model number of what he had before but it was a 43" rear projection jobbie. Bloody massive thing with the stand and speakers. Think it was a Panasonic or Samsung.
