Gameplay.co.uk - total morons and thiefs by bossborrow@yahoo.com
Hello I just wanted to warn everybody of this little, funny shop. They used to combine the orders without customer's permission but they forget to decrease delivery fee, counting as if it would be two or three packages instead of one. Plus, they don't respond e-mails at all. If you want to be in problems - buy at them, if no - go to Amazon, HMV and the others. M.

Where to get a SKY+ Box? by Gunther Gloop
Are Sky+ boxes all the same? Is one better than another? Does it matter where you get it from (apart from pricewise)? What size HD is best? I don't imagine we'd have much too much problem recording over what is already recorded (ie. probably doesn't need to be too big). We already have Sky basic so no installation required. -Kevin.

Panasonic SC-PT450 DivX playback issues by mark1.thompson45@btinternet.com
Hi All, I have just bought a Panasonic SC-PT450 home-cinema system and was told that it would play DivX format files even though I cannot find anything in the instructions or on the box that state it can, looking on the www there is evidence that it should, has anyone had any luck. It maybe of course that the dvd player is a little picky about how the file was encoded, I have used "DivX...

Brightness problems on Panasonic TX-28ps1 by nospammer999@hotmail.com
Sorry for longish post ... bought a used Panasonic a few weeks back (TX-28ps1)... Seemed ok for the first few days (oh oh!) ... now on first switching on ... picture shows very bright -sometimes almost white... if it gets too white it seems to cause the TV to switch off into standby... if not then after 10 minutes it settles down to a more normal (perhaps slightly dark, overly contrasted?)...

Onkyo TX-SR563E by Daz N
Hi, I have decided to get rid of my old hi-fi separates and purchase a decent surround sound system. My TV currently has 5.1 built in and does an OK job, but now I want more! I'm looking for something that won't break the bank, has DAB built in and will also allow me to control my Ipod from it, I don't really use CD's anymore.

Upgrading a mix-and-match audio system on a budget by smorris12345@hotmail.com
I've just upgraded my tv to a Samsung 50" plasma. So, it's now time to look at the audio. My current system is very piecemeal, mix-and-match, to say the least, as follows: Denon 1705 5.1 amp Jamo e8cen.2 centre Old Technics fronts on Mission stands (can't remember the serial number of the Technics but they're a reasonable but not audiophile quality) Wharfedale 7.1 rears, but I don't have stands...

Speaker + Amp suggestions by Grumps[_2_]
Hi All I have recently moved my Panasonic PT-AX100 projector and screen into another room. Previously, I had just been using my HiFi system for 2-ch audio. It's good sound, but not surround. The new room will allow reasonable placement for a 5.1 system, but what parts to choose? The projector has a single HDMI input, but ideally, it'd be nice to feed this from either the DVD player or PC;...

Flashes of Light on the Faith by black.horizons
In this article of mine, the believer will find incontestable historic- archaeological support to his Faith, the undecided one will perhaps be capable of making a decisive step forward to live the "Blessed Hope", the atheist will get irritated at seeing his thought being based absolutely on nothing. In this site, there are links with other writings of mine, which have had more than 100.000...

Request for some help by Moishe
I was wondering if anyone on this newsgroup would be able to advise me. I work for a recycling company and we have recieved a few Barco monitors. These montitors look like they are still working and it seems a shame (and crime on the environment) to chuck them. We have models scm 3350 scm 3346 and some icd types. Would you happen to know of a company that can make use of these? Are there any...

19" widescreen by Dave Plowman (News)
I'd like a 19" - or 21" if they exist - widescreen LCD for the kitchen with FreeView tuner and at least one RGB SCART. Doesn't need to be 'Hi-Def Ready' or have surround etc or indeed decent speakers as I use external ones. And low cost if possible - under 200 quid. Any recommendations? -- *Women who seek to be equal to men lack ambition. Dave Plowman ...

Recommendations needed - control iPod through home cinema or hifi system? by kevinodonovan@gmail.com
Hi I'm in the process of kitting out my living room - I have the LCD tv up on the wall, decent dvd player, etc. The next step is get a decent music/home cinema system in place. My main requirement is that whatever I buy, works with my iPod as that's what I listen to the most (Fighting Talk on 5-Live is about the only radio show I listen to). Plus it would be really nice if I could control my...
