I got an android box but have found it difficult to set up as the remote is quite hard to use. Can I use a genetic wireless keyboard instead? If so is it straightforward to pair.  The IPTV epg doesn't look as good as the ZGemma.

I use the Android TV remote App on my phone to work my way around the Nvidia.

Forget bitcoin, its fourth-biggest rival is up nearly 5,800 percent this year

This hype reminds me of the real estate boom here in the U.S around 2005 and dotcom bubble in the late 90's, everyone's talking about it and everyone is an expert.

Stew, you were one of the lucky few that were allowed to come in here legally back then. Hundreds of thousands were not so lucky but they made it work through perseverance and stubbornness. Felons should be deported but the vast majority of illegal immigrants are law abiding people that contribute hugely to society. Many of the illegal Irish here back in the 80's became very successful people once they got their papers, some employing thousands of Americans citizens.
I have a friend who has a similar stance as you. He was living here illegally until 12 years ago, he married a U.S citizen and is now a police officer. He wants to deportations to begin ASAP.

Deportations of who? Illegals in general or illegal felons? I hope it is the latter.

I have a tremendous problem with ripping families apart, to me you have to start somewhere, January the 20th or whenever this bullshit arttist became President seems as good as any to me, get rid of illegal felons across the board and grant amnesty to everyone else who was here prior to the inaugeration day of Trump who is working and fit to look after themselves, make them pay taxes and contribute to society and then grant them permanent status when they show they are responsible citizens in their community.

No matter what you do it is not going to be perfect, but you have to start somewhere!

Yes all illegals, he voted for Trump as well. It's a head scratcher 😊

Stew, I'm not lecturing you. What I'm trying to point out is that your stance on illegal immigrants is pretty extreme for a guy that might have been afforded one of the biggest breaks in his life due to the lobbying of illegal immigrants that where here before you.

so, whitey, fox and stew, how did you qualify to get there?
I applied for a visa and poof! There it was.

It would be ironic if you guys got your visas due to the hard work and lobbying of illegal Irish immigrants living in the U.S during the 80's and early 90 's!

Didn't like Vegas but if you decide to go there do yourselves and spend a few days at the Grand Canyon.

I was at the Miami game last night, my ears are still ringing it was so loud in there. Adding the roof to the stadium had made a big difference to the atmosphere. Looks like the Canes are back finally!!

Weather Underground is usually spot on with it's tracking. I  checked it every 6 hours when Hurricane Irma was tracking this way last month. Looks like tropical storm winds for the West of Ireland, there's usually a lot of rain with this type of storm.

From speaking to one of the many gun owners I work with you can still buy an automatic weapon legally in the U.S  if you go through an extensive background check and pay $20000 for each weapon. He also said it's pretty easy to turn a semi automatic into an automatic weapon. As someone said earlier if nothing changed after Sandy Hook it'll never change.

Went home via the new M17 last night. Saved me 25 minutes on my usual trip. Coming to Galway this morning it probably saved me 5-10 minutes only but I travel early so it's usually not too bad. A fine addition to the roads network!

What part of Galway are you based Seanie, and which direction were you heading?

The route to Dublin for people in South Mayo will probably go through Tuam and onto the Dublin/Galway motorway instead of going up through Roscommon as it does now. It's a bit longer in distance but should be a lot quicker.
