    *****BLACK FRIDAY 2017**** Deal thread

    I'm after a 55" for upto £800 and looking to get a Samsung 55MU7000 in the next week or so but they are currently £949 so hoping for a deal. Tempted by the Hisense and can probably get the 65" 6800 with discounts but the Samsung is apparently much better.

    *** Sky Q Thread ***

    I would happily sign up for Sports but I just cant justify the £6 HD charge. Fair enough 5+ years ago when HD was in its infancy but not now. I just dont get that I can now watch UHD but have to pay extra for HD!

    *** Sky Q Thread ***

    I re-signed up with Sky and had Sky Q installed today. I now have a 2TB box, 1 x mini with just Boxsets package. I asked him for a hybrid LNB, which he installed (with new dish) and said both boxes had LAN connections available so not using WIFI. Engineer was very helpful and didn't question...

    Renault Clio 2.0 VVT Dynamique S

    We saw a 2006 Clio 1.4 16v Dynamique S yesterday and have paid deposit for it. Seems a very tidy example and has great history and new MOT. Thanks for all the advice.

    Renault Clio 2.0 VVT Dynamique S

    He originally wanted a Mini Cooper but but even the base 1.6 is way too much to insure. He now seems set on a Clio or Punto 1.2/1.4 Sport editions but is being a bit rebellious and not taking much notice of me! That said, I was exactly the same and had a Pug 309GTI within 6 months of passing my...

    Renault Clio 2.0 VVT Dynamique S

    Anyone have one of these? My son has his eye on one at a local dealer. This would be his first car and he doesnt even turn 17 until February. I told him he is stupid and to go for a 1.2/1.4 for a first car but surprisingly the insurance quotes are very good, think he said £600 with me as a...

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    Ok well that was shortlived! Turned out they only gave me basic package with Sports, not Box Sets that we were on before and no HD channels. I just came off a chat and they could upgrade to Box Sets for £16 plus another £6 for HD sports BUT would now be a 12month contract. Not interested in a...

    Windows software for automatically logging to captive portal wifi

    Chances are there will be a DHCP lease limit set by the provider and I wouldn't advise having personal PCs permanently connected to public wifi anyway.

    Did I really pay this for a TV

    Paid £1400 in 2009 for a Pioneer 50" plasma, that was ex-demo from a local specialist audio shop. Still using it now as main screen in lounge.

    PlusNet Broadband Experiences - Please Share

    Switched over from BT Infinity about 2 months ago and not seen any issues thus far. Its a good cost saving and I also have a static IP now. Im using a Cisco 887VA router that I acquired from work which negates the need for the Openreach modem. I have standalone APs around the house for WIFi...

    Changing ISP from BT Infinity to ?

    I've just switched from BT Infinity to Plusnet this weekend. It all went very smooth, although there will be some downtime. My BT went offline during the night and I reconfigured my router prior to going to work. Plusnet kept me updated and got a text around 11am saying the order was completed...
