    Virgin V+ box failure

    I agree that is pretty good service. I would have thought that you could have been waiting a week. I have a virgin box that died a couple of days ago. I haven't rung them yet because it's difficult for someone to be here in the day. We have been watching Freeview and I must say it's just not...

    Picture problems

    I have never had a problem with no picture appearing only a problem with my V+ box dropping the video for a second or two. (black screen on tv for a second or two).

    Bluray looks great, but not on my system

    Thanks Guys for all your comments. I would suspect that my player is the weak link, but extremely disappointed if it was the tv. I know it is not a full hd panel but in its day got rave reviews. There was such a marked difference in the PQ I saw in the hifi shop and what I get at home I can't...

    Bluray looks great, but not on my system

    I have been an avid user of home cinema equipment for many a year but I think I have a problem with my bluray setup. I decided that I needed to replace my ageing front speakers, so a couple of days ago I went to audition some. The dem involved a Panasonic plasma tv and I think a Panasonic...
