Tv Goes Bang.

[sapelesam]

Thanks to all who helped out on Media and TV. Bit of a pain really, I watch very little TV and after it went bang this morning the maintenance company can't get anyone out until next Wednesday and I go away this Sunday for two weeks.So when I come back I still won't have a telly. I would normally buy a new one but my service contract provides a new TV if mine is bu****ed. Catch 22.

Have you got Sky? You can watch it on your computer/tablet.

You can also watch other channels on tablet/computer.

Had a similar problem. Bought a decent-sized screen TV from British Heart Foundation charity shop for £25 and gave it back to them a few weeks later.

I actually have BT Youview and spent all afternoon trying to get BT to sort it out to watch on my laptop. I bought a new laptop in December and my old laptop was the registered device along with my phone. If I want to watch on my new laptop, I have to cancel the old device registration and wait 30 days for my new device to be registered. Ridiculous BT rule. They said "Watch on your old one" I've already crushed the hard drive and scrapped it.

Just go to the relevant website eg. bbc, itv, uktv etc.

What a pain.. You'll just have to talk to us instead. Who's going to look after the garden while you're away Sam?

Hi Mazie, two threads on the go. We are very fortunate to have a local college that teaches horticulture and two students have been helping us out since I had a major op last year. This will be the longest I have ever left the garden but it's my best mans 60th birthday celebration in British Columbia and I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Brilliant Sam. Have a great time. Your garden sounds in the safest of hands x

That might help me to relax, maybe a little.

[mazie]

Relax, life really is too short to worry about stuff :o)

sapelesam: Not all BHF shops do teles. Just check. Tends to be the larger ones.
