What do you mean by 'Sky tv'? Do you mean the transmission/reception is poor or that your television set is cr4p?
Report Mc Moonbeam • August 18, 2014 8:06 AM BST
that's what i'm not sure of naydam

my Tv is decent enough , it was the top sony flatscreen at the time (200mz) though a few years old now
it's been like this even more since i had sky installed though , particularly in HD , though some things look very clear & vibrant like landscapes , scenes with 2 people just talking close up seems very cardboard cut out like with the landscape a different setting


Maybe i could do with a smart new tv also Confused

you might find it better if you switch off motionflow - I have it set to high for sports, but anything else looks like home video unless you switch it off - you can change it in options on the remote

Yes that may help actually as i always have Motion flow switched on , thanks Mr Badger Happy

the Sky transmition is standard , nothing really wrong with it , i  think it does have something to do with my telly , it's just the way the backdrops are meant to look , i don't think you'd get it on a plasma screen
am gonna have a look for a new telly , some very cheap ones about , just means i have to sell my old one Sad

i'd like a smart tv with iplayer etc built in , though guess they just gimmicks as you can watch anything from your pc nowadays , need a nice laptop too Blush
Report TheChaser • August 18, 2014 10:22 AM BST
get laptop from pc world £300 for a decent one and it comes next day

i got one a few month back as old one was fcked , packard bell i think it was just £300 or just over and runs perfect no sh1t installed on it either so just runs smooth

Or just get a Chromecast, £30 and it turns any TV with a HDMI socket into a smart TV. Highly recommended, unless you don't want to be outsmarted by your telly.

didnt know about chromecasts will have a look
Report TheChaser • August 18, 2014 10:29 AM BST
at least no camera with chrome cast , i wouldnt want a camera on my tv tbh
Report Mc Moonbeam • August 18, 2014 12:41 PM BST
agree a camera's too much , i guess some like it for skyping & stuff

the laptop sounds good just not keen on Pc World so never look there

I've been watching a few on ebay the new Dells are quite nice for a bit more

Cheers Ken i might have a look , but i'll probably wait for the sales now & buy a new telly then
Report TheChaser • August 18, 2014 12:52 PM BST
good thing about pc world is next day delivery and if the computer laptop crashes within a year you can go right in the shop and get it exchanged there and then

if you order a laptop from dell it takes a few weeks to arrives , (had one previous)

pc world has all theres ready for dispatch , i ordered at 4.30 5pm firday and was here saturday morning
Report TheChaser • August 18, 2014 12:53 PM BST
i ordered online , i could have got it same day from shop

Anyone know where you can still buy new spec laptops with Win 7 installed? Don't want to have to go to the trouble of buying a Win7 DVD to re-install. I would go Ubuntu but the wife would need to use it and she's 'ow you say non-technical (x 100000000).

Report Mc Moonbeam • August 18, 2014 1:09 PM BST
yes that's good service no doubt Chaser , is it a free 1 year warranty ?

I've never used windows 8 but heard it's v poor , a lot of the Dells seem to still use windows 7 ken
Report Mc Moonbeam • August 18, 2014 1:12 PM BST
you can pick up a lot of factory returns or ex display items on ebay , a bit of a risk but most traders on there are very good
Report TheChaser • August 18, 2014 1:27 PM BST
