iPlayer and other catchup TV
Prompted by comments in the Internet speed thread. Someone mentioned that even with Virgin cable that iPlayer was buffering. Well I have the same issue, not always but then again I don't use it that often, because of the buffering. I have BT Infinity and get good speeds. It's not just iPlayer, I recently tried to watch…

Windows 10 update (Sept '16) how long did it take you?
Wish I'd not opted to update, I started at 11pm and its coming up to 1am, not done yet! So far have had a few restarts (the update warns this will happen).

I purchased a custom built laptop back in March 2016 and paid by finance, within a few weeks several faults had popped up which were fairly minor and fixed by reinstalling the drivers.

Pdf Print Problem
Hi, my Lenovo laptop is running Windows 10. All of a sudden, and this is after various MS updates this week, I am having trouble printing. Apart from the fact that the new Outlook/Hotmail look is a bit weird (although I think that's 'designed' to be an improvement), when I open a Word attachment in Hotmail, and it…

MacOS Sierra - 1st Impressions
Took the plunge last night when Sierra appeared in the Mac App Store and started the download about 7pm on my late 2012 i7 16GB iMac. It's not far short of 5GB and was still downloading at 10.30pm when I went to bed and put the iMac to sleep. Probably high demand on the servers. Next morning it was all there and ready to…
