Anyone know if last night`s You`ve Been Framed is repeated this week?
Various friends phoned to say I was on it but I missed it, again - this is the second time!!!

RE: wedding this weekend, I am the best man and have no speech.......HELP PLEASE
Try not too worry. You`ll end up saying some bits you hadn`t planned for, and forgetting some you had, but no-one will be any the wiser. The best-man can`t really go wrong as everyone is a little tipsy by then, and will laugh at the smallest gags, and cry and smile if you lay on a bit of sentiment.
You`ll come out a winner!

Problems playing SACD`s
I am having problems getting my Sony DVD player to play SACD`s. The model is a DVP-NS700V. When I close the drawer (after selecting SACD playback on the remote) the player will only go to CD, and will not let me switch,
Does anyone know if there is a cretain setting I need to have the player on, or something in the `custom set-up` section I need to switch on or off?
Thanks.
New Sony Walkman
Just seen the new Sony Walkman, which looks ace (better than an I-pod). Anyone know if you have to use Sony`s music download site, or whether you can download straight form a PC?
Music from Renault advert
Anyone know what the music is in the new Renault advert? SOrt of skip-along jazzy feel to it.
RE: The Warriors region 2
Elaborate, please. Do you mean comical, or actual animation?
RE: The Warriors region 2
Excellent, my birthday is the 19th - gonna grab the wife`s make-up, do myself up like a baseball fury, grab some wood, get my mate to `chink` some bottles and wait for the warriors to roll into my part of the town!
The Warriors region 2
I see The Warriors dirctors cut has just been released on DVD in the US. Anyone know if it is due out over here anytime?
Motorola picture download
I have a Motorola V975 that I am trying to download the pictures from to my laptop, but can`t seem to. I am guessing I need some software/drivers loaded onto my pc. Can anyone help with this?
Speaker Brackets???
I have a pair of bookshelf speakers (weighing about 8kg) which I am looking to stick up on the wall of my kitchen/dining room, and angle them down slightly. I don`t want the type with a base on them, or clamps, as I want the bracket to be hidden.
I thought I had found a pair (Atacama Matrix) which would be ideal, however, the speaker has a port on it above the connections so the bracket would have to sit slightly off-centre, and i`m worried the weight would twist the bracket if not totally centred.
Has anyone else had this problem and overcome it? Anyone know of a bracket that would suit, as I have trawled the net in search of something suitable but with no joy, yet?
RE: What`s the most cringe-worthy line you`ve heard in a movie?
Not exactly cringe-worthy but a classic from BTTF 3.....
Doc, I`m gonna slip you the hoverboard.
RE: Scart to Svideo
Oh well, have to save up for Sky+
Cheers guys.
RE: Scart to Svideo
Cheers Jimbo.
My DVD outputs to svideo through my amp and this is all fine.Its my Sky box that I`m unsure of. It`s linked direct to the TV with scart. I want to do away with the scart>tv and run scart>svideo into the amp, thus one svideo cable to the tv.
Cheap Two Towers EE version at Morrisons
Just picked up The Two Towers Extended Edition from Morrisons for £10.99.
Scart to Svideo
If I run a scart>svideo cable from my Sky box (not Sky+) to my amp, which then connects via svideo to the TV, will I get a colour picture?
Just read a thread on another site that thinks there may be problems as the cable is not a convertor. Is this the case? And if so, what is the purpose of this cable if it doesn`t convert the signal?
RE: Recommend me something to see at the Theatre...
One flew over the cuckoos nest is fantastic - saw it for a birthday present. Didn`t know I could be captivated and moved so much by a play.
you`ll have to hurry, i think it ends its run at the end of this month!
RE: Apple iMac- why would you buy one?
Thanks folks.
Apple iMac- why would you buy one?
I`ve only ever had PC`s but happened to be round someone`s house the other day who had a Apple iMac with a gorgeous big screen.
Just looking for (unbiased) opinions of whether to move into the Apple market - pro`s & con`s - over a PC.
What do you reckon?

RE: lotr 12 disc box set

RE: What track has the deepest bass ever?....
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Vol 1. (serious home-made BASS-Miester)
This album was solely responsible for, not just a small tear, but blowing segments of my dad`s Aiwa speaker cones out completely, back in the early 90`s.
Needless to say, I am a little more careful when playing it these days. I did commandeer those speakers when I left home and still have them in my dining room, and must say they still work well, with no distortion except at high levels - solidly built.
RE: Do i HAVE to have a mini dish to get Sky Digital service?
You can get it through cable, if you have the means.
LOTR - EE`s as a trilogy???
Anyone heard/reckon whether the EE`s of LOTR will come out as a trilogy, one day, without all the extras?
RE: question about the Yamaha NSP106 speakers
I`ve got a set of Yamaha speakers (think they are 1 or 2 models behind this set) that have various keyholes on the back for vertical/horizontal mounting. I bought a similar bracket from my local dealer, which came with various screws/bolts, and it was just a case of using the most appropriate. I have a solid mounting for my rears now.
You ain`t gonna know `til you try.
Which output to listen to CD`s?
I use my Sony DVD player to listen to music as well as watch films. It`s connected to my Yamaha amp via Toslink, and I have to manually switch the `effect` OFF (for 2 channel) when swapping between DVD or music. The reason being, I wanted the music info. to travel along the optical cable rather than through phono leads - digital over analog. If I switched to phono leads would this be analog, and would I notice the difference (loss) in sound? Its becoming tedious to switch the effect off, and (ahem!) I think my wife gets confused and ends up listening to films in 2 channel if the switch hasn`t been flicked back! (bless!)
RE: Subwoofer spikes
Unfortuanately I have a wooden floor, although quite stable. I do however have a couple of squash balls lying around ever since giving up squash.......well, I was missing valuable film watching time, or something like that!!!
Cheers guys.
