Help needed with a warfdale TV

A question about : Help needed with a warfdale TV

We have a small warfdale TV in the bedroom which is sefrviced by a sky box which is not seviced by sky.

When the TV is on we get the BBC London news programmes rather than the midlands programmes where we are situated, can someone tell me how to change the channel so we can get local news. My husband has to spend a fair amount of time in bed and is not happy watching news from London.

Travel laptop

A question about : Travel laptop

'Our Kid' currently has a 15 laptop with Win7, about 3 (?) years old

He is looking to change it for something smaller for travelling.
When at home, he plugs monitor, keyboard and mouse in via usb and wishes to continue to do so.

He does NOT want an iPad nor an Android tablet - wishes to stay with a PC

He has seen an Acer Travelmate B113-m .... is that a viable option??

Search Engine Easy

A question about : Search Engine Easy

Has anyone any experience of these people? They use adwords and landing pages and claim to be able to be the answer to all one's problems and able to drive enormous traffic to businesses.

If it seems to be too good to be true it probably is but I wondered if anyone has used them.

Photos on External HD. problem

A question about : Photos on External HD. problem

Hi all

I decided to change the hard drive in my Vaio laptop to an SSD drive.

The existing drive had plenty of spare capacity and worked Ok apart from being a little slow, so I bought an external enclosure for it and intended to use it as a backup.

The new SSD was fitted into the laptop and works well.

What changed with my website ?

A question about : What changed with my website ?

I've had a look at my webstats for the past 12 months and there's a significant decrease in daily average hits and overall hits. We're talking 2.9 million overall hits in march 2014, dropping to 400,000 for april 2014.

I'm not sure exactly why this happened and its puzzled me. The only thing I can come up with is that in march 2014, we got news that we had to move house so I wasn't as active on facebook and the website as much, so maybe was driving less traffic to website ?

Bit of a long shot, but worth an ask!

Has anyone got any magical solutions for getting rid of clouding on a lad TV?
I have a relatively big dark 'splodge' at the top of my screen.
Google/youtube searches has given me a million different reasons for this and a few solutions which have not worked.

Grouping download folder by date

A question about : Grouping download folder by date

My download folder has been conveniently grouping files by the date they were downloaded. So I had most recent donwloads at the top, then downloads from yesterday below, from last week below that, and so on.Today, however, I turn on my computer to find that the folder has no grouping for some reason. How do I go back to the old grouping system?
