Moving the blaster can't make a difference to your problem. Your problem is that the PUC is outputting the 'play' command - this is what is necessary to get the screen up to show the last recorded program. The only way a 'play' is output is if you hold Go for 2 seconds, or you press Go once and don't hit another command in the

Go Go is select. Or do you mean the equivalent of hitting 'Play' then 'Select'?

Each to their own. There's a lot of believers/non believers around speaker cable and interconnects in Hi-Fi, but HDMI is digital - it's 1s and 0s. You wouldn't spend lots of money on a network patch cable to connect your computer to a router. Over short distances, it will either work or it won't. Anything inbetween, and you'll clearly

You could buy a reasonably well built cable for under a fiver, though. A bit more if you want something of any length. As it's digital, cable quality is going to make next to no difference.

I think it's only a Gefen one, and it costs about £400. http://www.futureshop.co.uk/gefen-4x1-hdmi-13-switcher-p-582.html?osCsid=333014eb0c106a33a246ee9833f7567b There is a 4x2 one - at around £500. If it uses the same codes, it may work. But I have no real idea how it's controlled.

Can use the current card. You could then ring up and pay the HD sub of £10/month if you wanted, but it's not compulsory. BBC HD, C4 HD etc will still work as they're free to air. Though if you're a sports fan, you'd be mad not to! Unless you already have Sky+, you'll need a second feed to the box as well.

Point 1 isn't likely given that the addresses will be dynamically assigned, and it's not valid if all clients can use the internet without issue. Point 2 is very unlikely for home user kit - the router has a simple unmanaged switch. And neither is valid for the simple reason that it's worked with a Macbook. If just typing \\servername hasn't

£5,500 was the last I heard - that's including the anti-reflex glass and DVB-T tuner, which are standard in the UK. Then plus either circa £300 for the wall bracket or £700 for the floor stand.

The analogue tuner is necessary for Linked Video to function. Until MasterLink is updated, I would imagine all TVs will ship with analogue tuner functionality.

A crossover cable should be unecessary - nearly all moderately new network adapters, switches and whatever have auto-crossover to detect which way a cable it wired. In short, if the lights are on then that's not your issue. In a peer to peer situation such as this, there's no DHCP server so your PC and BS5 IP addresses will not be assigned,
