How far have you gone with a rear shock? It's about the one thing I don't really want to mess with.

That's what all the trendy DH people are doing these days (albeit for different reasons). EDIT: And certainly not to Tiogas

Ha... Uh? I dunno, force of habit I guess! Maybe I'll try without ADS next time.

The main problem with XBMC for a proper HTPC is lack of proper DVB watching / recording. That's not an issue on the xbox - it is what it is (which is remarkable) and no one expects to be able to record live TV. I did a complete reinstall of XBMC, wiped the directory and complete reinstall rather than an update. So much snappier now! And no random crashes. Huzzah!

Gah, have you ever played gun game? The Spas (3rd gun you get, a shotgun) has the worst sights imaginable. They obscure basically the bottom half of the screen - if your target is moving you basically have to guess where he's moved to.

There's probably a stable release that will work fine. "For the XBOX you need at least XBMC4XBOX (http://www.xbmc4xbox.org) revision 30413" which is at least several months old. I don't know where to get the latest stable version from though I'm amazed they're still updating it daily.

I spent a little while yesterday sorting it all out. A recent build of XBMC plus the iPlayerV2 plugin is what you need. I'm not sure how recent the build needs to be though - the version I downloaded last night is a bit unstable I think. I've had to hard-reset a few times and I never remember that previously. iPlayer now works though. What HD cables can you get? Are there any other TV-on-demand services that are worth using? I believe 4oD is not available.

Yeah. I'm not calling him up on it or nothin'. Red Bull seems to do quite a lot for the sport, a bit of product placement is fine by me. It was just a bit too obvious

Sick video. The kid's a genius. I can't put my finger on it though. Suddenly I have an urge to go buy some high caffeine drinks

I just discovered that recent builds of XBMC can play iPlayer perfectly. This is 9-year-old hardware with 64mb of RAM and it constantly surprises me, I love it. In fact, my laptop struggles more with iPlayer sometimes.

My data is currently stored on a 1Gb NAS (WD MBWE) which is running out of space. However, it's slow, noisy and one of the hard drives has just failed so I might just get rid. I don't use the hard drive except for media, so it would make more sense to just get one unit for playing and for storage (E.g. internal 2tb drive as muel says). File sharing from the device would be good but not essential. I've got a random assortment of file types, most SD a few HD. No DRM. I don't really have a budget in mind, cheaper would be better obviously but it depends on the features. £250 would probably be the limit though. Re: network - Ideally will be wired in at some point but there isn't good access at the moment so wifi would be useful I've played with XP MCE but that doesn't seem very customisable. I gather Win7 is a lot better for that.

What's him being a soldier got to do with it? We'd love to hear your argument

Perhaps this is a silly question but why do you need to transfer the texts from the old to the new phone?

Just won three games of gun game on the trot. I really should upgrade to weekend gambler but last time I did that I lost all my money...

4Gb is a pisstake. I'm using 80Gb on mine...

1: Everything you need to know is in this thread 2: "Coad"

Do you mean 4.0.1 or 4.1? Because 4.0.1 can be jailbroken and unlocked no problems.

There are other maps that need unlocking? For multiplayer or what?

Wow. My personal highlight was "the koran tells them to take over and kill people who are not islam", closely followed by "immegrints".

Right, I want something to play media on a TV. Kind of like the Apple TV thing but not as restrictive - I don't want to use iTunes and I don't want to have to have the PC on all the time. I've done this previously using XBMC on an xbox, which worked perfectly streaming everything over the network onto the TV. That's now 6 years old and since then we've now got HD content and iPlayer - Neither of which will play on XBMC, unfortunately. I was imagining that someone must have remade XBMC for the xbox 360 complete with these extra features, but it doesn't seem like they have. The simple option is to build a HTPC and use that, but that seems like a waste of power, money and it's noisy etc. I know there are some boxes (E.g. WD TV Live) you can buy to stream media, but as far as I know, none will do iPlayer as well? Any suggestions?

/= majority (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majority)

Sir, in two posts you've jumped from Muslims --> Students --> Fat people & Smokers. Any other minorities you feel it's important to list and whine about? Might one suggest single parents, hippies and gays? (I don't think the NHS should treat people who are stupid enough to injure themselves doing pointless tricks on a bike, but that's a different topic)

TL;DR Seems like the real story is what kind of asshole editor at the Daily Mail thinks this is worthy news, and why is the editorial team intent on inciting racial hatred (P.S. Isn't there a law against that?).

I'm loving the gun game. Takes me back to CounterStrike, that used to be all I played and I can see this being the same thing. I'm rubbish though - hit a complete dead end at the sniper rifles. It seems to take aaaages to join a game though.
