I'm already playing Christmas music. Love Christmas, unfortunately I get in the mood earlier and earlier each year so by the time December comes around I am in the 'Bah humbug' mode!

Watch out for those data charges you may well be better off getting a contract sim as tethering can be a data killer.

John Williams has won the Classical Brit Award for his contribtion as a composer this year. Well-deserved IMHO.
He has an outstanding history of composing for previous screen play.

I was using a halogen table lamp right next to the mouse, when I turned it off the CAD package in focus went wild with lots of "dings" through the speakers so I re-booted the PC but it would stop with a "Windows protection violation, you must re-start your computer" message, wouldn't even start in safe mode.

I finally unplugged the (PS2) mouse and just left my wireless mouse and keyboard in the USB and it started up OK. Guess the lamp must have put a bolt up the PS2 mouse port.

I'm happy it's working OK now. :) Won't do that again.

Actually had a few PS2 mice do that..

I've got my broadband back and no more pesky pixi's on my TV screen. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/10/17.gif

What were the odds on having a bad internal cable run and the Superhub being faulty. Well done Steve and thank you for sorting it out. :D

Shub has a reputation to live down to.:erm: I run mine in modem mode as I already have a decent router with wireless.

Glad you're all fixed up again. None or limited net access feels like a limb's been cut off.

:D I never realised how much I used the internet until this last weekend. I really must try to curb my reliance on it to run my life. Having to go into my Bank on a Saturday morning is not something I want to do again any time soon and phoning around for insurance quotes is pants.

Not had the Shub long and until Friday I had been pleased with it. Coming from 10Mb getting 45/49Mb via WiFi was good and I had no issues with signal reception anywhere in the house (guess not having thick internal walls helps :D ) Before having it installed, and having read so many negative comments about the Shub on here, I was quite resigned to having to put it in Modem mode but having it go FURBAR after only a couple of weeks and apparently take the TiVo with it was a blow I didn't expect.

Hopefully it seems to be all sorted now thanks to a VM engineer who was prepared to try a number of solutions rather than leave me with a less than decent service.

Add .... After the engineer left I did a quick test using a USB cable and got over 60Mb which cheered me up no end. :)

Hi friends

just returned from Las Vegas on Monday. We had a good holiday, weather roasting. Hotel good. But I must say the Country Music was not my cup of tea. It was modern country & just a loud noise. Back to Texas or Nashville next time,

Dude they aren't exactly budget cans. Do they do what it says on the tin? Christmas is coming and I stay up later than the wife during the week :erm:

Reunions. Family ties, (no matter what troubles have happened) and a new chapter in life.
Oh, and time to reflect quietly.

Got to go to Wembley last night to watch England play. Was an amazing experience as it was the first time I had ever been there :)
