When you do your bigger version at you second home (LOL) I noticed that many new AV amps have a built in network port (some wireless) and can view and play pic and film files on a NAT server or PC via a GUI on the TV. Saves having a seperate device.

House! thats her garden shed mate

I have a X-Fi xtreme gamer soundcard and I have started to have some probs. The volume control on my g15 stopped working and sounds of my gunfire were missing in cod4. My daughter had put some stupid new software on my rig so I used system restore to go back a few days and this solved problem. The problem has returned so as last week I used a airline to clean my rig I thought I would reseat the card and check the connectors didn't fix problem. Any ideas? ta

I will be following the blog mate keep it up custard

They are both great cards mate, are you going the Intel route? I do like the idea of a HDMI socket it makes a lot of sense. I play movies on a 32 inch Samsung connected to my rig and the difference in picture between that and playing the same movie via Platstation 2 is phenominal.

My 8800gtx OC will play crysis at mid settings it is my processor C2D E6600 I think is stopping me playing it at high.

Good info K guess I need to check if my dlink will work with the home hub just as a modem.

I could change mine to the primary I have a bungaloo wiring is a doddle ta Joker. Gonna keep my dlink router Krambo but I was gonna try to use the modem thingy with a phone on it.

Don't have cable I am a pheasant in the rural south boo. I thought about Virgin until Rocky told me what happened in bonnie Scotland recentlly. I'm glad nobody has said BT suks (yet).

To the citizens of the United States of America: In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy). Your new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. 1. Then look up aluminium, and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. 2. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour', 'favour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise'. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary'). 3. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as US English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell- checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of -ize. 4. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. 5. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun. 6. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public. 7. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour. 8. The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline)-roughly $6/US gallon. Get used to it. 9. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar. 10. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting Nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion. 11. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater. 12. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies). Don't try Rugby - the South Africans and Kiwis will thrash you, like they regularly thrash us. 13. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries. 14. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad. 15. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776). 16. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 pm with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season. God save the Queen. Just copied this from BPR needless to say I almost pissed myself laughing.

Ta mate but I had a horrendous time with Talk Talks customer service ain't going back there but I would say they are better n Pipex.

I am using pipex at the mo and I am moving. I am going to goto BT unless any of the UK guys n girls have got a better recommendation.

You stuck it here for so long without any of us playing your game, more power too you mate. Hope you have fun with jg26 and visit here often. custard

I have the same headset kit as sams running of X fi card its very good sound. The mics on a swivel and does break the wire inside, Viiper made a very good suggestion of superglueing the swivel so it doesn't move (the mic arm is flexible so no probs moving it) preventing the wires from breaking.

Nice lookin animal but I wouldn't want one lookin thru my windows it's bad enough with moles

Damn mate everybody told me not to buy wireless mouse n keyboard, guess thats good old lagg produced buy your kit. 2 options live with it or buy wired kit. I have a logitech g15 keyboard and a Mx518 mouse.

I have a cat called Jigs (short for Jigsaw, yep the kids named him) he is the local bully beats up the other cats. I watched while he jumped on a fully grown male pheasant (no kill) he kills all local wildlife inc moles (yes the underground vermin) mice, pigeon and rabbits. I have to pressure wash the patio from time to time to remove the bits he doesn't eat. I like him lots cos he saves me a big Rentokill bill.

Brilliant

Good work E

Medic u r bloody good at criticing a game but when do u sleep?

I just saw the UBI in time to not bother looking, unless one or more of my friends (you lot) get it and start raving about it I just don't trust anyone else judgment after the letdown that is GRAW2.
