I am looking to invest in a telescope but would like to see more than just the moon closer up. What kind of magnification would give me a good view of the outer planets of our solar system?

I have recently had a decorative gas fire surround fitted and have the gas insert to go into it. However, my builder advised me that he could not fit the gas fitting as he is not a gas safe engineer.

Could someone please advise what kind of price I should be paying to have this fitted, assuming that I would need a flue box and liner. There is a gas pipe running to the location already.

Thanks

I own a canon digital rebel which until recently i used with my laptop running Windows XP, without any problems. However, I recently purchased a new desktop running Windows 7. I had a few teething problems with trying to get a driver installed, but managed to get past this with the help of a site similar to this. Unfortunately, even though the drivers are now installed, when I turn my camera on and try and download, or even browse, images my pc gives me the message "Camera Not Found". Can anyone please shed some light on why this is... Thanks.

has to be DVD, preferably region 2 but region 1 would also be okay.

I have recently bought a new computer with Windows 7 and have somehow managed to block the view of my photo's in the folders (I need to open each file to view the photo's, as in the folder view it is just a generic 'scenic' picture ). Can someone please advise as to how I can get back a thumbnail view of each photo when I open a folder.

Thanks.

Please tell the best way to transfer video from a sony mini DVD for the handycam to full size DVD so that I can re-use my discs.

Also the best program to edit.

Thanks

In a couple of bars/restaurants in Tallinn, Estonia, I had a thick soup which was a reddish colour, I think had some kind of sausage in it and was usually served with a big dollop of sour cream in the middle. Can somebody tell me what it was called.

I am thinking of taking a short break to Scotland in late September / early October. Can anyone suggest a nice place to visit to absorb some culture, take some excellent photo's, have a romantic time with my wife but still keep my almost two year old son entertained.

I have a desktop PC that is coonected by cable to broadband internet, however I would like to be able to use my lappy around the house without cables and also connect my Wii and Blu-Ray player to the internet. How do I go about doing this without the use of cables. I know obviously wi-fi connections, but I am unfamiliar with the technical issues. I need to know what equipment I need to do this.

Thanks

I have a wii console and a blu-ray player, both internet compatible, approx ten metres from my internet connection and am not able to move them closer. I am not very knowledgeable with regards wireless connections and would like some advice as to how I go about connecting both to the internet without using wires/cables. I also have a laptop that I would like to be able to connect once I have my desktop back up and running.

I have a little problem with my tomtom one loading, as it cuts to a screen that suggests it is not reading the SD card. I have been advised to remove and replace the card, but don't know where it is...Can anyone help.

My wife is from Slovakia and I know she misses watching programs in her own language. I would like to rectify this by getting set up to receive some Slovak channels.

For the last two days I have had no hot water. My boiler is a combination boiler that should be providing instant hot water as well as central heating.

The CH is fine and operating normally and my boiler is not registering any problem. What is wrong...

I am looking for a series of kids television for my one year old son, but do not want to subject him to unintelligible rubbish like the Teletubbies.

I have heard Thomas the Tank Engine, or In The Night Garden are decent for his age group. Does anyone have opinion on these or suggestions on any others.

As I said in the question, he has just turned 1 year old.

I recently bought a new tv, with built in freeview. However, as I understand it, once I turn my satellite off, I should have analogue tv with freeview channels. I do not get any of this.

I have tried to tune in my tv countless times. Would i be correct in thinking my roof mounted aerial is broken, and if so that I will not be able to receive digital reception when my region goes digital...

Can anyone advise where I can get some funding as a mature student. Part of the problem seems to be that instead of going to university, I have chosen instead to do the course with a financial services training company. All the info I have seen so far only seems to apply to Uni students.

I am in the market for a new TV which must meet the following specifications:

42" screen

1080p

LCD

Digital Freeview

HD Ready

Budget: up to 800 GBP

I would appreciate some advice on what I can get for my money, good brand, good prices all that kind of thing. I am not interested in Phillips after having some bad experience with them. I would favour LG, but am prepared to look at anything suitable.

Also if anyone has an opinion as to to the Plasma / LCD argument I would appreciate that also. My choices are not cast in stone and if I can be swayed towards a Plasma rather than an LCD, then that would also broaden my market.

Thanks
