    Dead Subwoofer - repair or replace

    Hi all - I'm after a bit of advice please. I've got the Boston Acoustics XS 5.1 speaker package, and the subwoofer has had it. It has power but doesn't actually do anything. I've spoken to Richer Sounds and been told it is an initial £40 to send it off, which seems fairly reasonable, but...

    Sony STRDH810 and PS3 - LPCM?

    Firmware updates

    This may be a stupid question but - is there any point in downloading firmware updates for TVs? Will there be any noticeable difference? I've got visions of my tv ending up with a virus off my pen drive and ending up breaking - then thinking why did I bother anyway..... (I've got a Sony HX803 btw)

    Best Buy con

    Its a problem on their website that you get when you go through a link from quidco (I don't use quidco but use topcashback which is pretty much the same thing with the same deal). If you go from topcashback to their website then add whatever you are after, an error comes up, but rest assured it...

    New cinema setup

    Hi all Looking at getting a home cinema setup, got a Sony 46HX803, the obvious choice on speakers based on reviews and prices I've seen is the Boston Soundware XS, but I'm wondering whether when it comes to the amp whether the Sony STR-DH810 will do the trick or would an Onyoko 608 be...

    Hot Shrek 3d blu rays deal

    Has anyone had confirmed if you can claim the 4th Shrek film if you buy this pack? Surely claiming the 4th film was a Samsung deal so you can't do if you aren't getting it as a Samsung deal???

    Mains conditioners

    This may be a naive question but.......... Having spent a wad on a new system - is it honestly worth spending £25 on a plug adapter rather then getting one for £5? Does it actually make any difference?
