I realise our current configuration is probably not optimal, but I'm unsure of how best to proceed in order to improve things. So we have 2 recorder boxes + the TV… the aerial cable from the wall goes to recorder box 1, another cable goes from there to recorder box 2, and finally yet another cable from there into the TV.…

Or Facebook videos for that matter, but normal YT videos are ok. YT Shorts are horrendous for this. I've clicked on one right now to view it but it's a bit jittery.

Most times, I'm sufficiently reassured by having to enter my card details (not saved on any site as far as I know) and then do the thing with a code to my mobile phone. But every now and then, I am invited to pay with "SHOP", which I understand to…

I have no great need for one but I do have a couple of mobile phone apps where it might occasionally be useful to use my laptop rather than my mobile phone. I am comfortable with mobile phone use but there are occasions where it is easier to type and input data on a laptop rather than a phone. I have a few Android only…

That's mitigated by it being a fairly old low end Motorola phone, with practically no value in itself. Nevertheless, it has a banking app on it, plus a keyless entry system…

I've had problems opening up an desktop based application for about a week, although after trying several times I eventually get it to open and work.
