Humax 9300T (Freeview Box)
I've had my Humax 9300T Freeview Box (320Gb HD) for about 5yrs. It was working fine last night but tonight it's dead, it won't turn on and the display is blank (no power).

Refurbished laptops/notebooks worth the risk
I am looking for a laptop as cost efficiently as possibly. A few I was looking at have gone up in price recently. I am wondering if they might come down again before Christmas, if not I might wait until later. Or I was wondering about refurbed machines. Are they worth the risk? What should I look out for? Many thanks.

Easiest and cheapest way to use Skype without a PC
My brother is working abroad but wants to keep in touch with my parents via Skype. Although they do have a PC, they don't want to leave it on all the time on the off chance he rings. With his lifestyle being a bit hectic, he never knows when he's going to be able to Skype so we can't necessarily arrange a time. I know you…
