Was anyone using Nationwide's Internet banking background service to update their accounts in Microsoft Money?

Nationwide have turned this service off now, so you have to update your details manually. I've asked Nationwide to reinstat it but I'm sure they will tell me to break off. 

 I've always found MS Money useful as it tells you how much money you don't have. 

Having something that tells you how much money you don't have is useful, having somthing that can tell you how much money you do have would be a bonus.

General Discussion Area / Re: Help with tools

« on: 25 October 2009, 15:10:57 »

Hello All,
I have very very few tools for use with vehicles, and as I now buy and sell cars I think it's a must I get a set. I'm trying to change the interior in my 3.2 Omega and only have 6 spanners screwdrivers and some pliers. Which are no good really.
I've had a look on the Halford website and found this...
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_232793_langId_-1_categoryId_165572

Is that going to be any good for me? And I've got to remove the front seats and there's some star shaped screw things. Please forgive my ignorance, I'm 19 and really have had no experience at all.

I would say spend a bit more and go for the Halfords Pro range.

In fact your in luck at the moment as Halford are doing one of thier Kits half price at the mo for £99

« on: 25 October 2009, 18:31:50 »

As Kevin say's, think Sky+ already uses a 2 port LNB, so your probably going to need a Quad one.

So --- I need to replace the dual LNB with a quad, run an extra  co-ax lead to the freesat and the two current leads to the sky box

Correct,

Have a look here, http://www.sccdistribution.co.uk/
I have a Trade account and good discount wth them, if it helps you.

Not played with Digital much lately, but if it's an independent Quad LNB then should be fine for Multi Recievers.


Forgot to mention, I get 33% discount of my Local Trade supplier (Not Boxes or TV's) if anyone needs any bits.

LNB thats the device that sits facing the dish, and focuses the signal from the satellite?

Yes, but it does much more than that. The signal is in the K-u band (10GHz) which would be impractical to pipe down to the set top box so the LNB amplifies it and drops it down to an intermediate frequency. Frequency and pollarisation are normally switcheable by the set top box, hence the need for an independant LNB channel for each tuner.
Kevin

You forgot to mention the other bit Kevin, that the LNB is powered from the Reciever up the coax, so again two recievers feeding one LNB is a no, no.
