My Pixel 6 no longer connects to PC via USB.
Rarely-used USB port as it has wireless charging. But latterly the port feels less 'clicky', tho' it still charges via it.However, the option to download files - pics, mainly - from the phone has gone. I've had to send them attached to an email, a right pita.Yes, I tried the swipe-down in order to change what the USB can…

Now TV Sports packages
Can anyone explain why the Sports Saver Bundle in Ireland (which includes both Sky Sports and TNT Sports for around £23 per month) is actually cheaper than the UK 12-Month Saver deal (which only includes Sky Sports at £28 per month)? It seems odd, especially given that Ireland has a higher GDP per capita than the UK. Is…

Hi.Just as in heading. MIL's new TV, works great, but this is the second time she's turned it on to find her terrestrial channels are not available.

Skype credit refund
Now that Skype is closing down in May is there a way to get our credit refunded? It’s more “it’s the principle then anything” but I have £11 of Skype credit.

Virgin V6 or 360?
Intermittenly, I receive emails from Virgin Media urging me to swap my Virgin V6 box for a 360 box. I have no interest in doing this, because I'm perfectly happy with everything my V6 does, plus I know I would lose all my recordings if switching. I'm wondering which box, members on here prefer? Thank you.
