Up until recently, they blocked realplayer etc at work. Allowed through f/w now, but probably still disiplinary...  ...hence the dsl line on my desk ::)

No, BBC iplayer is shite for that as it wont let me download any at work because the gateway is in Sweden!
LOL, wouldn't be much cop at your home either, with your less than perfect ISP.

Saying that, even though MCE is about the best upscaler you can get, you can see the lack of quality on the streamed stuff.  I'll have to demo it again to you one day, now its got a video card that can drive your 1920 x 1080 TV ;D

Just managed to get a free monitor from work that was being scrapped, trouble is I am struggling to find somewhere to put it  :-[

If you are really struggling I have loads of wallspace in the Mausoleum. Im sure my antenna array could spare a mV or too for a freeview box.

If it had a tuner, I'd borrow for a couple of weeks, as Samsung are having a bit of trouble with my telly, and the loan set is only 32".  Plus it has a real gay bluey/greeny/turquoise LED strip at bottom ;D

You just use a freeview box with it as it has composite, VGA RGB etc inputs.

Is the LED strip not a mood light that can be turned off?
I did think that, and there was a mood setting in Picture settings, but I turned that off, and still have gaybar on.

I've sort of ignored it, as mine should have been fixed by now, but there is some issue thats taking longer and everyone seems to be unwilling to say what.  All I can find out is its the panel thats failed. Again.


Black insulation tape is the answer  :y ;D

Bugger me, I sorted it - it was that setting, but it dims it slowly when you turn off, so after a few secs, I assumed it hadn't done anything before.

Try me!

just having problems with my Mac VPN due to the lack of a routing table. My office runs domains on .2 so my office PC is 192.168.2.xxx

.1 is external to the office (rackspace machines)

because my home network runs a .1, i am having issues connecting to my work pc, no problem with the rackspace boxes, i am setting up a routing table which forces .2 to go through the VPN Ethernet, rather than my standard router connection.

Just because you gateway is in Sweden, does not mean you have to live without BBC iPlayer...

Trust me, and I know a little bit about MDTM's work network, it won't work.

Additionally, in your case, I'd adjust home network, so you don't have to bugger around with extra overheads with extra VPNs
