    Loud popping noise from speakers when changing channel

    Hi I have a Samsung TV ( ue49nu7100) with audio output via optical to a Yamaha RX-V1065 AV amp. When I change channels on the TV there's a really loud and very annoying 'popping' sound from the main front speakers. The only thing close to a cause of this I've found online is the audio format...

    Apple Music - free trial?

    Yes, that's what I thought - but the sign up process is very unclear.

    Apple Music - free trial?

    Hi Am I being a bit thick here? On trying to get the three month free trial of Apple music I click 'start free trial' and then choose the individual option at £9.99. I then get a pop-up asking "are you sure you want to buy Apple Music for £9.99 per month". That sounds like it'll charge the card...

    What TV is this?

    Thanks. Do you know if they have the NowTV app? I'd like to reduce the number of boxes I have... cheers

    What TV is this?

    After seven years with my trusty Panasonic plasma it's time for an upgrade (it's not even full HD). However, just ten minutes research is hurting my head so can someone recommend one? Full HD - not bothered about 4k due to lack of content. Freeview HD 46+ inch Smart TV / full aps...

    Quality... Google Play movies?

    Seems the price of movies (Paddington for example) has settled down to £10 DVD, £13 bluray and £10 to buy online at places like Google Play. I tend to opt for dvd as I can do it onto the kids' tablets. I appreciate this would be easier to do direct from Google Play but what equivalent quality...

    YouView / Humax no longer boots

    And it is a 3.5 inch disc, ie desktop PC size. Given how easy it was to take the drive out I'm tempted to upgrade at some point as long as I can copy the old recordings onto the new disc which I believe involves some Linux file formatting...

    YouView / Humax no longer boots

    Yay - that worked! YouView support were telling me to call BT to find out how to do this when they have a guide on their own site... go figure. cheers

    YouView / Humax no longer boots

    Thanks. I don't suppose you know what size HD? I have an old 320gb from a macbook pro I could use and I'm sure someone on YouTube will show me how to do it so I'm up for giving it a go! Shame I'll lose so many good recorded films etc but that's life I suppose.

    YouView / Humax no longer boots

    Hi I've had problems with my Humax / YouView box lately with it freezing, but a reboot usually gets it going again. Now though it won't boot at all, it usually gets to the 'nearly ready' stage but no further. I've tried about 7 reboots, soft, using the power switch and unplugging from the...

    replacement for Nexus 7? Asus Memo pad?

    Thanks Bill. I Googled it (obviously) and many responses said give it three factory resets. I did this and also deleted Facebook Messenger which is said to cause huge battery drain. I'd also emailed Asus support and a factory reset was what they suggested. Sure enough, it seems OK now. It drops...

    replacement for Nexus 7? Asus Memo pad?

    Actually, now I've had this Memopad a week I'm thinking of returing it. The battery drain is just ridiculous. I'll charge it at night then put it to sleep and it's pretty much down to nothing by morning. Just rubbish.

    replacement for Nexus 7? Asus Memo pad?

    Well after much thought I've bought the Asus MemoPad 7. The Hudl I bought my son is great but a little too big and there's currently an offer to get £50 cashback on the Asus. No matter what I did my Nexus was so slow it drove me mad. The Asus is a great little tablet. It's not high end but it's...
