On Demand TV: not receiving 4OD or 5
I have a Panasonic Freesat TV and a Humax Freetime PVR. However, I don't seem to be able to receive either 4OD or Channel 5 via the On Demand channel.

Kenwood Chef Mixer - Arm lifting when in use
Hi all, I have a fairly old (15 years) Kenwood Chef Stand mixer. When in use whether whisking, beating or kneading the arm lifts within seconds and unless held down, will lift repeatedly during the process.

Advice please on changing email
I'd be grateful for views/experiences on changing from BTinternet to another email and ISP. Have been on BT for years but it seems expensive and their recent change to BT mail from BT Yahoo is the last straw - now slow and glitchy and filled with junk mail from "partners" and others. If possible I would like to keep email…

Microsoft Outlook 2007 replacement
Microsoft Outlook 2007, I believe, is due to be redundant some time in the near future. I've been disabled since 2011 so subsequently funds are quite low these days.

Last time I did this I got my knickers in a twist, so is this: a) Very straightforward and easy to do? b) Still completely free of charge? Many thanks for your patience:o
