General discussion / Point & Shoot Camera
March 20, 2015, 03:18:15 PM
Can anyone recommend a good point and shoot camera? Just need something for about the house and family occasions. I bought a Sony DSCH400 bridge camera on Amazon but had to send it back the image quality was ok but if there was even the slightest movement from the pictures were blurry.  Try getting a 1 year old to sit still!  I don't want to have to be messing with settings, just stick it on auto and snap away.

General discussion / Getting Programs off a Sky Box
January 14, 2014, 08:49:23 AM
What options are available for getting recorded programs off a sky box?  Ideally I'd like to get them onto a PC for safe keeping.

If I pull the hard drive and connect it to a PC what format are the video files in?

General discussion / Streaming Club Games Online

If a club were to stream their games online and had a donate button where viewers could throw in the £3 gate money if they wanted.  Do you think it would be a worthwile fundraiser for a club?  Or would most people just watch the game and not bother to donate anything?

On the 8th December 2009 I purchased 4 x CCTV cameras.

I late May of 2010 the picture on the camera started to go fuzzy and the supplier agreed to take them back for repair.  Now the same problem has started to happen again recently.  I have contacted the supplier who have agreed to repair the cameras.  Its a major hassle taking them down and I don't really want the same cameras back again only to have to the same problem happen in another 6 months.  I am prepared to pay something towards a better quality product which the supplier aren't prepared to allow me to do.  Do any of the legal eagles onboard know my entitlements?

Drinking on buses outlawed in the North
23 June 2011

GAA fans in Ulster face hefty fines if they are caught drinking on buses on their way to matches after new legislation was introduced by Northern Ireland's Sports Minister Caral Ni Chuilin.

The Irish Examiner reports that GAA fans travelling from the south to matches in Northern Ireland could also be affected by the new laws, which cover all sporting fixtures in the six counties. The new legislation decrees that PSNI officers are permitted to board any bus carrying fans to a sporting fixture and if they discover alcohol on board, the bus company is liable to be fined.

Stormont has also passed legislation that would see fans fined a four-figure sum and face possible imprisonment if they encroach on the playing field to celebrate with their team after games.

However, Ulster Council delegates at last weekend's GAA Central Council meeting pointed out that enforcing the rule would be difficult as PSNI officers are rarely on duty at inter-county matches in Northern Ireland.

------------------------------
Seen the above on Hoganstand.  I can understand why soccer supporters aren't allowed on the pitch but its a scandal if Stormont ban GAA supporters from the pitch.  Are they just doing the GAA's dirty work as we know Croke Park's stance on this.

Any clubs out there using facebook?  It would be a handy tool for keeping people informed but are there child protection issues?

Anyone know of a site where I could post the video of a whole match and then share a password with a team of players so that they could login and watch the game online?

Anyone have one?  If so are they any good?  I'm looking at one with the 16Gb flash drive to use as a simple lightweight web browser and for plugging into networks to diagnose simple problems.  Would they be up to the job?
