Headphones are Bluetooth only Plane needs plug in Jack headphones. What device do you use?
Hi guys Not sure if this has been asked before but I’ll try, and I’ll try and make it simple. On our 10 hour flight there was a screen on the seat back showing films etc. all passengers were given free PLUG IN headphones. To say the sound was rubbish is an understatement. Such a shame because my Bluetooth ONLY Sony…

BT Wall Socket Query

Is anyone having trouble watching YouTube using Virgin WiFi?
For the second time now I've sat down to watch a video and it doesn't work. It's supposed to be 4K but that just doesn't work. Dropping down the resolution works for a bit but it keeps pausing. I've tried a Fire Cube, Sky Q box and smart TV. They're all the same. I feel like ringing up Virgin and telling them where to…

My Sister wants to print out a sign for her shop window. She asked me to do it because her computer fails to print it. So...I said I would do it. I went into Libreoffice writer. Chose the number 1.

How long to install BT 'full fibre' & what to expect?
Am booked in for an install. BT Live Chat can be a bit painful & often they never pay attention to what you've actually asked so I'm here for people who've actually had this done & can comment on real-world installs rather than just some sales pitch being read off a monitor. So how long realistically should I expect this…
