Smart TVs and digiboxes
Hi all. Please excuse my ignorance on this. We currently have a non-smart TV and a YouView digibox. The digibox doesn't have Wi-Fi so we have to use an ethernet cable but as it's a long way from the router, we use Powerline adapters. However, there's clearly a fault somewhere as the box keeps losing the connection and we…

It was consistently around 80gb, give or take 5gb, so I never reached capacity. With the 11 I am constantly reaching capacity - it's system data that's…

If you push/click it there is no "bounce" IYKWIM.…

If you use Corel's Paint Shop Pro, which is a cheaper and pretty good alternative to Adobe's Photoshop, you may find you get a pop-up asking you if you would like to upgrade to PSP 2023 Ultimate Edition.
