    Routers Non Sky router on Sky ADSL?

    Could someone please clear this up for me? I'm replacing a friend's Sky router as it refuses to work with Chromecast and is very old, has no place in 2015. I'm not a Sky customer so can't check but she says they won't give her a free one. From what I've read, Sky don't like you doing...

    Yellow brick signal booster

    Years ago I bought a CATV signal booster, I needed it at the time. Can't remember the name/spec, but it was the yellow one everyone said was best. It's looking for a good home and I'm sick of seeing it. Does anyone have a use for these anymore?

    Best option for MKV playback from PC?

    Having just got V+ HD and finding out my oldish 32" LG HD Ready TV doesn't want to display the whole picture, I've decided to replace it. The main problem is that the good bit of the picture is cut off on either side, something to do with its native resolution being 1366x768 and it having no...

    V+ HD Box with component output?

    Good Evening all, I've just moved flat and thought I'd treat myself to an upgrade to V+ HD. I also bought a Slingbox Pro HD (streams TV to laptops) before the move. The Slingbox only has component inputs, no HDMI. When I ordered cable I understood it to be that the box would have both...
