is it wrong to admit, I have no idea what purpose all those electric bits serve: other than to guess its something to do with controlling your TV ?
It means I can now stream from my Media Server (Server in a cupboard) that has all my ripped DVDs, to the media streamer (little box) wirelessly, as such I can now watch any of those DVDs on my TV via the HDMI cable plugged into the TV from the media streamer.

The person who is using it only needs to play with the blackberry device to access the entire library.
I'm thinking we have very different lives..............

if a DVD goes on in my house, its probably a tinkerbell film.

if its a grown up film, it probably happens 4 times a year.

can't imagine having the time to be able to watch that amount of telly !!!!

good on you though smile

I dont watch that much tv if any... Im a tech geek (developer at work and gadget freak at home)... collected loads of DVDs and now want to clear space that they occupy, same goes for music... So got a NAS and split it out for business, movies and music...

This way I can also log on from where ever I am in the world to play all of the above on a laptop/ipad/etc... helps when we are away relaxing and want music, also when Im working away from home out of suitcase.

Just bought this set of Hendrick's scales from EBay for my study!

Oh dear... I'm not going to be popular.
There is only one on ebay... where you getting one from?
On a slight side note, I have two of these sitting in their original packaging in my kitchen, I forgot they were there until I was clearing a cupboard!! Going on eBay this week!

LouD is kindly going to check stock after work, but in the event there's none there I may take you up on that smile

The Mrs has wanted a cheap one for horseriding for a while, this seems ideal for less than some of the GoPro accessories all in...

Anker Astro E5 15000mAh portable charger. Enough juice to charge my phone 8 times.

I already have charging facilities for my phone at home, at work and in the car.

This has no use, but I can charge two things at once and it's cool. It's currently charging my phone at work, even though I could charge it from the PC.

Nice find, but again no stores in NI and their delivery charges are extortionate frown
