I am trying to put a new telly in the bedroom. I had difficulty tuning it in so hooked it up to the kitchen ariel and booster. it tuned in great. upstairs however it is no working. I am getting a signal strength of 90% but a quality of 0. I have boosters upstairs to and they used to work with my old telly (not brilliantly. Whats the most likely cause and remedy

I use a DSLR camera with the 18-55mm vr kit lens. My landscapes are really rubbish, bland and uninteresting and not very sharply focused.

I took my car to a car wash where they Spray the car with some foamy stuff leave it for a bit then jet wash it off. the car gleams. anyone know what it is and if you can buy it for home use

my PC (which runs runs vista) has started switching itself off after a period of inactivity. It is not the power saving settings and it does not shut down properly. I have given it a good clean in case it was overheating but this has not helped

thanks

can you do it in camera or do you have to do it in editing software

i have a d3100

I read a lot of answers on here and a couple of reviews saying don't get an entry level DSLR camera as you will grow out of it. What will I miss with my Nikon D3100? Are there really that many more ways to use a more expensive camera? are we talking gimmicks? is there a lot of equipment envy and snobbery in the photography world (like folk who like to squeeze 2 more BHP out their car so they can bore folk in the pub). or are there real genuine, usable real world advantages.

I don't have a printer at the moment but I am thinking of getting one mainly for printing out my digital photos.

Taking into account cost per print, convenience and the quality of the end result is it best to go to Jessops or the like, use an online service or print at home.

I have recently bought a digital SLR camera (nikon D3100). I have taken some pictures and have been messing about with them with view NX2 and photoshop elements. but then the thought cam to me that i may be wasting my time fiddling with the white balance and such if my monitors contrast, gamma whatsits and other settings are not going to be the same as the cameras or where ever i get prints done.

Does it matter. If so is there any easy way to calibrate. i have had a look at a few articles on line but they have given me a confused headache.

when i used to hover my mouse pointer over icons on the task-bar next to the start menu button i used to get a nice picture of what was running. like if it was internet explorer it would be a mini version of the page. now it is just dull text. what settings have i fiddled with and how do i get the pictures again.

I cant find it. i have looked everywhere i can think. any suggestions where to look.

i was thinking of switching from bt broadband to sky, we want the HD tv but i have only been able to find fairly negative reviews of Sky's broadband service. Is this just because a greater proportion of people with gripes get on the net for a moan ar is it really that bad?
