I got mythtv working with a dual Hauppage tuner card (on Linux) about 15 years ago. It needs to have the firmware installed each time it is restarted. Can't remember what I had to do to make that happen - I think 'hotplug' was involved

I haven't tried Kodi
Yeah, I want something that is faff free. It has to be Mrs TB friendly.
the biggest faff was extracting the firmware (.fw?) file from the Windows installation. Once I had that I had to create a new script file that loads the firmware when the tuner is initialised . Once set up it just works with no  further intervention.

How old is the wiring?
My first house was built in 1954 and had rubber insulated cables. When I moved in (in 1988) the ends of the cables had perished but the cables buried in the walls were like new.
Some switches and sockets had loose screws (which caused overheating) and the insulation fell off as I pulled the accessories out of the wall to inspect them  :o

The reason I started this thread was the site I was on wanted me to add credit/debit card details but wanted to verify my age via the QR code/ face pic verification. :-\

Surely the fact I have a credit card should suffice

I dont agree they should have a pic of my mug even though they say its instantly deleted.
 :-\
The site they forwarded me to didnt work - once I started to use my phone rather than my PC it didnt manage to do the job either. :-X
You don't want the site to have your mug shot but you are happy to give them your card details?

QR codes are a way of translating a long string of text & numbers into a non-threatening looking image.

Vaccine passports use the QR code to encode a long string to identify you and your status.

Scammers can use a QR code to obfuscate a web link that you wouldn't normally choose to click on if you could see it as text.

Just saying.

I dont like my picture taken and once on the net then its there forever.

The only legal documents I have come accross so far that require my mug are all our government requirements (Driving licence - Passport - NSI) and so far my mug shot aint on any of them either. :-X

As for my card details they are used every where and I have some degree of protection to get any monies back.  (plus issues in my life mean I dont/cant get out to use cash) :-\
fair enough - I wasn't advocating for putting your photo up, I was questioning whether you were happy to enter your card details.

So whts a recommended QR scan app for my phone,

Thought the phone should be able to scan these codes but I cant suss out how to do it (Galaxy S7 Edge)
The camera app on my S9 will recognise QR codes - I don't know if that applies to the S7  :-\

Alternatively - there are dedicated QR reader apps. I installed one on my S5 a few years ago but never actually needed to use it..............

;D ;D Call that nostalgia? This was my old bus:



Those headlights are not standard. Nicked from a Frogeye Sprite. :)
Is that one of the GPO specials with rubber front wings? IIRC they couldn't use the normal headlights in the rubber wings :-\

I tried Torque but I found it awkward to use & more geared to logging standing 1/4 mile times than diagnostics.

Scanmyopel is my personal favourite. (on an Android phone)

p0420/p0430 cat efficiency codes?

What code reader? if it isn't capable of basic code reading then it is going to waste you time & money.

Have a read of the maintenance guide Fuel trim and Cat Efficiency codes explained

What on earth happened there?

Thank Andy H, have to check. After removing rear wheel I can lift the control arm by putting jack under the lower shock flange to get the shaft to normal position and check. Is it a wearing part? I mean can it be worn after 300 000 km.

What is donut here?
