Hi guys basically got a teething issue with my projector/xbox 360/hd feeview/surround sound dvd player im using an optoma hd70 projector and get no issues through playing the xbox however when pairing the surround sound with the freeview for example i get a fussy screen until i go through a lengthy processes or restarting each appliance until they all work in sync im using a very basic hdmi splitter into my projector as it only has one hdmi output and i think this may be the issue, its only allowing one sourse to be read from the projector at any one time, im using this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HDMI-Male-2x-HDMI-Female-Splitter-Cable-Gold-0-3m-/200441765588?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL I know this is cheap but looks more ideal than what i have http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LOGIK-4IN1-HDMI-SWITCH-SPLITTER-BOX-M8304L-BRAND-NEW-/330455376580?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3 just after general ifo/suggestions if anyones in the know, thanks in advance

http://www.mojostore.co.uk/acatalog/Fox_Rear_Shock_Bushing_Kits.html Think i need the reducers and the spacers for frame to shock depending on clearance the bolts i need i can get on ebay m6 x 40 m8 x 80 Could get this but seems a bit rich http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280526483200&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT The frame is a kona kuku 1999 in fact http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=1999&Brand=Kona&Model=KuKu&Type=bike cant find a picture of one built anywhere, ive just been building this with spares on ebay and have just got stuck on the rear shock set up. Appeciate your comments and feedback will keep searching, might just need the bush reducers for the bottom mount to fill the gap and reduces and spacer for the top.

Got an old kona kuku frame (2000) and just bought a fox rear float shock, however does anyone know where i can get the bolts and spacers/bushings for the shock in between the swing arm etc? v similar swingarm to stinkys etc actually know what bolts i need just need spacers/bushings but cant find them for my model anywhere

Looks fine, and does seem to acknowledge that the cable is plugged in as the screen goes blank for a second but then off, the vga cable itself is definitely fine too cheers

Basically been running my projector through my laptop via the vga cable until the other day where i plugged the vga cable in the laptop and got no response from the laptop or projector, whereas it would normally connect itself automatically. ive tried everything i can think of, fn + f4, windows mobility center, display settings through desktop etc, tried various settings on all and searched but have had no luck. Was working a few days ago and even tried to restore my laptop from an earlier date but was unavailable, the projector works on other laptops just mine will not recognise it recently, any ideas would be much appreciated.

Cheers for the advice, will just have to look for a banned one on the cheap, if anyone knows anyone lemme knoiw

Hi just thought id ask you guys if you could lend a hand with this, basically my xbox 360 wont read discs it started with call of duty then would play other games and all dvds, now it wont read anything and on the xbox home page just shows up as reading then states open tray etc. the xbox has had a few knocks and is fairly old but has been fine always up until recently. Are them lens cleaning discs worth a go? also tried on the microsoft website, tried clearing cache, removing hard drive etc cleaniong discs etc , even tried barand new discs with no luck. feeling quite lost at uni without call of duty, somoeone shine some light please.

ah nice one think im finally on track then, gonna get this yamaha 5.1 amp, hdmi splitter, 2 5m hdmi leads, a set of 5m rca leads? need speakers aswell actually but have plenty for the time being.

Got my laptop connected as a temp measure Yamaha RX V-392 RDS have 5.1 would that suffice as an amp/receiver? any ideas on price to be paying too? cheers if i got such an amp with speakers id need a hdmi 1 to 2 splitter? (would this reduce quality at all?) Also i already have a philips hd dvd player which has the following connections-hdmi out, tv out, pb, y, pr, digital out/coaxial, l,r(audio out), scart and mains. Whats spdif? any more help much appreciated cheers

Just wondering in the rushed panic of trying to get audio woirking, a mate has given me an alesis ra150 amp from his old deck set up, it has two channels which i thought i could connect to some of the spare connections in the back of the projector but not proving too fruitful. would this be a case of pure incompatibility or is there anything i can do to get it working? desperatre to hear gunfire on cod haaa . . .

haaa no way ive dreamed of such a moment, i should be playing with my mates on a 10ft projector screen in about 15 minutes should be pretty wu tang. never played online just always play multiplayer at uni, heard nothing but good about it though, considered getting it but probably should'nt as my uni life consists of 60 percent doobs with call of duty, 35 percent whiskey and 5 percent uni work . . .

its my life and soul

Ouch, read the sicilian/godfather then re watch

Cheers for the info lads, really appreciated think ill go down the 5.1 route on ebay or so forth just means i wont have sound for a week, dont suppose there's anyway of me using my brothers tv with hdmi input as a speaker source? probably would just be used as the source rather than the xbox and a case of either or? are yamaha the amps to go for too or any known make ? cheeers

Basically following on from my last topic i have a little projecotr set up running in my room. however i have no sound as theres no internal speakers in a projector unlike a tv etc. i was thinking of getting around this by getting a dvd surround sound set up, however if i did this would i only be able to get the sound on the dvd and not my xbox etc? ive got an optoma hd70 projector and will be using it with a hdmi cable to my xbox most of the time. leaving me with the following ports vga/scart/component component pr (red) component pb (blue) component y (green) video (yellow) s video service ir module 12v relay basically is there any way of me getting good sound without much effort? will buy an amp etc if necassary as i assume ill need a remote to control the sound on a daily basis . . . thanks in advance

how long of a period was that over out of interest?

anyone got an idea of how much in general someone could smoke daily before it had major negative effects on your ol thinker? e.g. 10 bag a day for say 5 years i reckon would cause a major dent but guess theres no real way of knowing till youve actual done it like said above

Certainly not the best film ever, havent actually seen it so quite a narrow minded comment but far too much cgi for my liking, think id rather stick to taxi driver.

Just bought one of these contraptions to wake up to as i was getting fed up of the limited stations on standard radio. Basically had a look for DAB guides online but cant really find what im looking for/recommendations. Had a brief look at classic, magic and the arrow but think id be be better off asking people with experience. cheers Are there any stations that play 60s stuff, rolling stones, beatles , small faces, who, dean martin and onwards etc?

If youre the named driver i reckon around £1400? if your dad is then maybe around £500?

Im not down-Clash

Definitely watch them either way, wasnt such a fan of thin red line compared to the others, depends what youre after out of a film though really. Anyone seen flags of our fathers/letters from iwo jima? Thoughts? seen them both just interested in what others thought

Gorgeous

Theyre actually called Corydoras and are tropical fish, so might be a bit out of place in a cold water tank, like most other catfish though theyre pretty hardy so should be alright
