    New home cinema

    I'd love to be able to install a screen in my room but the dimensions just don't allow (very low pitched roof cottage) but a Velodyn is next on my home cinema list for sure. Nice set-up by the way!

    Apple maps flyover view

    Thats the screen for reviewing the detials of where you dropped a pin.. Click "Map" in the top left corner of that screen to return to the full screen map. In the bottom left you will then see an icon with "3D" or a little picture of what looks like skyscrapers depending on where in the...

    iPhone 5

    Pretty chuffed with mine so far. I upgraded from a 4 so probably more of a noticable upgrade than going from a 4S. Sold my 4 on ebay, got £237 for it, so that went half way to paying for the 5. I also only went for a 16GB model this time, my 4 was a 32GB model but since having unlimited data...

    iPhone 5

    Just ordered mine this morning :) Same as said above, i'm upgrading from a 4 because I think there are enough changes to justify it for me, if i'd already had a 4S i'd not have bothered.

    Plasma TV has lost its red

    If it's definitely doing it from all sources and you haven't got picture being fed through an AV amp (via HMDI or similar) and can be 100% sure that it is the TV, then you've likely got a problem with the YSUS (or ZSUS) module, which in may TVs is relatively easy to swap your yourself (no...

    Lap Top Issues... Any ideas ? Please help if you can,

    Perform back-up of everything of use to you on the C: drive C:> format C: Then you have a clean re-formatted hard drive. If that works then great, if not then you might want to do the same on your D: drive but that will mean reinstalling your OS and device drivers which is a pain of you...

    Sound Bars

    I advise going to listen to some first, audition a few different ones and see what you think of them. Can I ask why you're going with a soundbar anyway as opposed to a 2.1 or 5.1 surround sound setup? I'm guessing space is an issue?

    Best noise canceling headphones?

    I'd go with this too, brilliant headphones for the money. I wouldn't touch the Bose with a very long stick, they sound awful, very overrated pieces of junk.

    Media Player...

    +1 for the Sony PS3 and PS3 Media Server software on my iMac. All HD movie files in MKV streaming to the PS3. The software is free so pretty good value for money if you already own a PS3.

    New home cinema reciever

    I've recently bought a Yamaha RX V767 for a similar reason to you as I wanted HDMI switching and decoding of the HD sound formats. I'm really impressed with it actually, especially considering the cost. I like you paid a small fortune for my old recevier about 5 years ago and this one cost...

    Which Laptop ?

    Of the 3 Windows machines i've had to have over the last couple of years i'd say the Samsung was much better than the Dell and the HP, seemed to be far better build quality and a nice comfortable positive keyboard. The HP felt cheap and the Dell got very hot.

    Parrot Asteroid

    Well I thought i'd update on this, just for update's sake really. I managed to get the unit fitted and working after some trial and error with the speakers and factory amp, but in the end it meant re-wiring the rear speakers to the HU and by-passing the amp and leaving it just power the sub...

    The "TV" thread (LCD/Plasma/LED). Post pics.

    I'm not sure it's worth showing off but here goes...(excuse the pics, taken on phone) Pioneer PDP42 something or other plasma Sky HD Sony PS3 (used for Bluray too) B&W speakers but the fronts are some awful RTL TDL2 things on loan from my Dad at the moment as I had an accident with the...

    Parrot Asteroid

    So i've just jumped in and bought myself one of these, I haven't tried before buying because I couldn't find one in a store near me, but they have reasonable reviews and i like the clean look of it rather than too many flashing lights and stuff - and it takes the largest SD cards available :) I...

    iOS5...

    Ha! Ok maybe that was a bit unfair. In reference to iPhone: The Notification Centre is a nice touch, took me a while to figure it out but if you drag down from the top of the screen you get to it and can set it up in the settings. I quite like how you can get message notifications just...

    iOS5...

    what you want to do is backup your phone normally. Then instead of performing a back-up and install just do a Restore and that will restore to the new IOS5 (provided you've downloaded it) and then after this you can then sync your phone from your previous back-up. Its quicker this way as...

    iOS5...

    If it's at the point whee it's "verifying with apple" then just keep trying, it's because of high volumes of traffic. Mine took about 5 trys to get past that point.
