General discussion / Re: RTE on Freeview
July 23, 2012, 08:53:19 PM
Little help please folks
Im in the market for a new HDTV which I will most likely be buying online and want to make sure that it is capable of picking up RTE with the built in Freeview, what should I be looking for in the specs to ensure it can do this?  Is it an MPEG4 tuner??

Im in the 6 counties btw incase it makes a difference.

Goodman Lawnseed, I sat in an exam hall this morning for the first time in about 15 years, I'm 44, I decided I would like a change of direction so I am back in college. Funny enough there was  a man in the exam hall that looked like he was in his late 50's
thats what i'm hoping to do gerry, train up a bit and see what happens. alot of the jobs that are on offer now didnt even exist when i was at college and alot of what i did learn is obselete so i actually need to refresh.. learn something a little more relevant. ffs at our secondary school we only had one computer and i never got to use it the teacher used to turn it off and on and wait alot everything was on floppys. :-[

Lawnseed, if you don't mind me asking, what line of work are you in at the minute?  Have you an idea of what kind of job you would like to get into?

Won't be long in running in now!  Not that impressed with support lineup, White Lies would be the only ones Id have much interest in.  What are most people doing, camping Fri & Sat or just day tripping?

Any chance they will show the CL final?

I have come across a similiar problem before.  The resolution was similiar to this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545
Don;t know if you would want to try that.  The Recovery Console Can be downloaded here: http://forums.pcpitstop.com/index.php?/topic/150212-boot-to-recovery-console-wo-xp-cd/

To wipe and install windows you will need the recovery disks for the computer or else a windows disc.
If just installing by Windows Disk you will probably need to download drivers for different components of the computer.

I have the origional windows disks with the laptop, if i insert it in will it try and fix the problem or will it wipe windows and re-install it. Also (sorry for asking stupid questions) will this format the laptop or can windows be installed again with wiping c drive...thanks for your help

If it's a normal windows disk there might be an option for a repair install.  which won't delete any files. 

If you go through the windows setup it will give you the options on screen there might be one for repair, but there will be an option to format and there is plenty of warning before you would wipe anything. 

To backup before hand if you had one of these:
http://www.usbnow.co.uk/Adapters_&_Connectors-USB_to_IDE_Adapters/c42_46/p52/USB_2.0_IDE_&_SATA_Cable_(with_Power_Supply)/product_info.html
You could taske the hard drive out and plug into that and into another computer to backup the data.

Hi Mhic

Does that USB cable fit standard desktop PC's hard drives?

MY PC freezes upon boot up, and if I could access the hard drive I'd just dump it!

Yep it does.
It will both old IDE Drive and SATA Drives. Can even connect CD Drives to it

Bought one of these gizmos... and it works! Fantastic. Some stuff saved that I thought was lost!

Where do the old emails from outlook express go? Do they be saved in sub folders or anything?

open my computer, ensure hidden folders are shown (click the 'tools' option at the top of the window, select folder options then the 'View' tab and select 'view hidden files and folders'

Old emails will probably be saved as archive.pst (this can only be opened using outlook) in the following location

C:\Documents and Settings\'your username ie Norf Tyrone'\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

you could also just do a search of the drive for '.pst' and it will show you where all the outlook files are saved

Maybe Jones could step up and add to his 20 first team games in 10 years.  Where is that mans ambition?

I know. If he had any ambition at all he'd move to another club that would give him what he wants. Hang on.........

Maybe he is just doing the decent thing and waiting until the summer for a move so he doesn't leave the team in the lurch.....

Your right. Unlike that Andy Carroll c**t.

Different circumstances than the Torres transfer but I'm sure you don't agree

Torres' career has stalled horribly at Liverpool. He needs to go, for his own sake.

Still have him captain on fantasy team though.

Stalled? his career has taken off since he's been at Liverpool, he is now recognized as one of the best strikers in the world

Torres wants to leave,  on Sky Sports news now.

Must be true then  ::)

I don't think its a fake account, he has previously been tweeting about his soccer school & foundation which he set up to help under privileged kids (not in India as far as I know  ;D)

LOL. A thread for the delusional.
What has lifting the supporters' morale gotta do with anything.

The inescapable fact is that the same rubbish squad, overwhelmingly established by the fat controller, I still all liverpool have.

Dalglish switching to 4-4-2 and mumbling thru the collar of his coat won't change a thing

I think you'll find Hodgson was playing 4-4-2!  Yes its the same squad, but a manager with different ideas and methods can bring different results.  Sure why do GAA club teams change managers when they have the same squad of players every year?
