Many thanks for the reply Daveh75. Do you think anyone from the What Hi Fi team might be able to find out at source whether all hope is lost?

Those of us living in Scotland still cannot access STV HD or ITV HD as a proper EPG channel on the Sky platform. Yes, they can be viewed via the ' Other Channels ' route but as such cannot be recorded or paused. Does anyone know when, if ever, they will be brought in from the cold? Many thanks.

I used sling box for several years to send British TV to my daughter in France. Sling box recommend an upload speed of at least 256kbps and my speed of 370kbps gave pictures only reasonable for news and drama but not much use for fast moving sport like football and tennis. However things...

I had to return the new Panasonic web-cam (TYCC20W) because it was apparently not compatible with 2011 Panasonic equipment. Andy Clough said he would raise this question with Panasonic but I've not seen if he had any success.

Unhelpful, sarcastic comments were not what I was hoping for.

Bought the new Panasonic Web-cam ( TYCC20W ) yesterday but had to return it because my Blu-ray player would not recognise it for Skype use. Retailer did some research and found evidence that this camera was not compatible with 2011 devices. Would be grateful if the WHF team could find out if...

Noticed in the 'SOUND ADVICE' section of the current magazine ( February, Page 92 ) that the BDP-S370 is described as 'a capable 3D Blu-ray player'. Surely this is wrong, or have I just been too hasty in changing my 370 for a 3D machine?

Thanks for prompt reply. Trouble is the Samsung TV I was considering is being offered with a Samsung 3D player which I don't think has 2 HDMI outputs !!

I have the Sony STR DH800 amplifier and am considering getting a 3D TV and 3D Blu-ray player. I believe my amplifier does not allow ' pass through ' of 3D video so I presume the HDMI feed from the player will have to go direct to the TV. But how do I then access all the HD sound formats which I...

Many thanks to all who replied to my question . Looks like I might just stick to my Sony 370 for Blu-ray and my computer for Skype!!

My post has produced no replies but perhaps one of the WHiFi team knows the answer to my query.

The magazine gave a good review of this player and the Skype facility , in particular , interests me. However, I see on the box it says ' Requires the purchase of a Panasonic web-cam'. Can someone advise whether this means , literally, a PANASONIC web-cam, or could other makes be used ( I have a...

I was interested to read that BBC iPlayer now offered the option to access catch-up on ITV channels, channel 4 and 5 etc and, sure enough, using my computer, the facility was clearly there. But I normally access the iPlayer via my Sony BDP 370 BluRay player and I can't seem to do the same by...

Thanks for that , Trevor79. Just wanted some assurance that Tacima plus an upgraded cable didn't amount to overkill!

The latest issue of the magazine outlines the benefits of upgrading mains cables. I have all my components plugged into a Tacima mains conditioner but the mains cable from this to ,for example, the TV is just the one that came with the set.Do you think that upgrading this would further improve...
