HD Ready TV flicker - flickering with SKY + HD Flashing problems HDTV Converter problem

It is the day and age where we all want those stunning high definition pictures. If you have Sky HD and from 2009 onwards you will not be given the old generation HD boz which had the component video out slots on the back.

So you do have an older HD Ready TV and you find it only has the component phono inputs / DVI inputs but no HDMI slots ?? So what do you do?

Most people just wait on the Sky engineer to come out to see what he recommends and the Sky engineer will fob you off with a scart connection and say you can only recieve standard definition. If you live in the great part of the United Kingdom known as Northern Ireland, you will get a very adventurous Sky HD engineer who will attenpt to connect you up using an HDMI cable coming from the box with an HDMI - DVI converter on the other end which quite simply won't work, especially on a Hyundai HD TV.

So...

This is what you do... You sinply navigate to http://ebay.co.uk/ and purchase an HDMI - DVI cable. You may think this is the exact same thing but its not. You need the direct cable as the converter loses too much of the signal during output.

DO NOT USE THIS!

Mobile Phone Bluetooth Transfer Problems

If you have a USB bluetooth dongle or a built in bluetooth card sometimes you will find that (especially sony ericsson mobiles) will not allow the transfer of pictures to the laptop or desktop pc.

This happens for many reasons and can be fixed by simply downloading the software studio for the particular mobile phone. Then just go about your business as usual and it will now work. If not just leave a comment and I will look into it further...

Here are some links to the various providers offering desktop studio software. The cool thing is that the software will also allow you to send text messages from your computer without physically using your phone which is great if you are surfing.

HOW TO GET THE WINNING LOTTO NUMBERS !

Have you ever taken a stroll to your local Ladbrokes to do the UK National Lottery and been very undecided on the six numbers that could potentially be life changing?

Well, here's a great little program designed for Windows XP/Vista/7/etc that allows you to choose six lucky numbers at random (Quite like the actual number chooser on the National Lottery show) so I bet you fancy your chances!!!

This program was written in C++ by MR Ryan Scott from the University of Ulster in the United Kingdom and may be downloaded and distributed freely as you wish.

Just follow the link and you will get a warning message as the file is a .exe but you may download and scan with AVG before opening if you wish.

http://www.freehostni.co.uk - FREE WEBSITE HOSTING

We decided to search for a good reliable website hosting company that was extremely cheap! Well we actually wanted one that was FREE! And boy did we find it. We came across a company called free host ni and decided to register for an account to try it out.


We were amazed to find that it offered:

1. 250mb Disk space (Large enough for any large website)
2. 6144mb Monthly transfer (Not many ever exceed this)
3. SQL Databases
4. Add on domains
5. Sub Domains
6. Simple to use control panel
7. Password protection enabled folders for confidential areas
8. Automatic script installers
   
9. FTP Account
10. Browser file manager

We tested out this company with a website we had designed. We purposely coded it to be slow but the free host ni servers delivered content extremely fast for a free hosting service. It had 100% up time for the 3 whole months that we tested it for which is amazing.

They also provide free technical support and guide you in every way. This really is a winner in our book and is highly recommended to everyone. We don't believe that you should pay monthly fees for hosting when a company like this provides it for free.

Whats the catch? ... Well there isn't one as such! The only thing to bear in mind is that when you sign up for a free account the company will place one small banner advert at the bottom of the page. This is how they provide their free services. They place one small advert there in the hope that some of your visitors will click it and make them the 2 pence for that click. It isn't much to ask for getting free hosting forever - so we thought anyway.

We asked the company to provide a random customer using the service and they gave the following Euphory Designs London If you click here you can see the small advert at the bottom of the page. It is in no way intrusive.

So FREE HOSTING ! You got it !!

Microsoft Hotmail service outages - NOW RESTORED !!

Microsoft Hotmail, the free email service and provided by Microsoft, was reported down. But now, "Hotmail down" and "Hotmail service unavailable" must be replaced by "Hotmail up" and "Hotmail service now available".

According to Business Week, the massive problems started in the "Windows Live ID service" used to sign in customers. It's also used by XBox customers for online game accounts. More than 460 users Worldwide have accounts, or a population larger than America as a whole.

The problems have been fixed and Microsoft told users that they were sorry. XBOX live is now up and running again also and the ids are now working - I have checked lol.
