I wouldn't worry about it too much, mine ran out for a few weeks before I noticed it. I think I ended up backpaying it. Just don't get spotted in the mean time.

Its suitable but very old... I would not buy. Pioneer is better or something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Yamaha-AV595a-Amplifier-5-1-Dolby-DTS-DSP-/110613021011?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_Amplifiers&hash=item19c10cc153

haha, me too. I think 75% of people at bike99 could be seen walking around with a pair of those over their shoulder. (edit, it was a shame that they were nothing short of dangerous on wet tarmac)

This might be worth a look http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=XBMC_Live

I used to have one of these - but ended up selling it on ebay for £8. http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Component-Video-Cable/dp/B00005TN7U I haven't looked around, but thats essentially what you'd be looking for. It wont give you full HD, but it will take you up to 480/720 or somewhere around that Once you have one of those cables plugged in, a special option appears in one of the xbox main menu menus which you need to enable (assuming you can still boot to the default dashboard) I'll take a look at the latest xbmc binaries, not in any major rush to upgrade just yet.

Ah, excellent. I have to say, an old xbox running XBMC is the best thing I've found so far too. Coupled with some "HD" cables it looks good too. I'll be downloading that tonight.

Erm.. Last time I checked, the government gained £8.8 billion in taxes from cigarettes, and spent £5 billion on treating smoking related diseases on the NHS. So, you'll probably find that smokers are in fact paying for your heathcare.

I have one of those (used as an htpc) but I find the picture is laggy (although I'm using ubuntu so win 7 may help) and its a bit of a jack of all trades.... Next on my list would be an eGreat a1080 (or whatever the latest thing they bring out is) which seems to be a pure HTPC (no streaming from iplayer by the looks of it) - but pretty good for everything else. Saying all that, it seems that blu ray players are slowly becoming htpc-ish. This sony one is cheap, plays blu rays, streams youtube, iplayer etc and has (limited) network capabilities. I would give it another 6 or so months before we start seeing proper network streaming capable blu ray players becoming mainstream Edit, also have a look at xtreamer.net - it says its compatible with internet TV but I would check first. There are problably UK resellers on ebay.

Hmm, its lucky for you that I don't think that the 'type' of person who should be a member of this forum should be anyone apart from people from Oxfordshire. I guess you must feel fairly uncomfortable regularly taking part in a website thats hosted in Germany and part run by Welsh people?

On top of that, some Welsh knobheads beat my mate in a few years ago, absolutely no need for it. So on that note, Welsh people, get out of Wales! oh wait, this theory is flawed... (extra "lol" for Tomms 'TLDR' comment)

This pretty much sums the whole thread up for me. Think about it.

Congratulations, you've been successfully trolled by the Daily Mail. I see your daily mail, and give you tabloid watch - http://tabloid-watch.blogspot.com/ This has to be my favourite quote (a letter printed in the Daily Mail) -

Thanks, I'll stop annoying you all now

Thanks all. Hmm... ok, well its not that then :/ Sorry, just once more (clutching at straws here)

cheers, once more please?

cheers

Are you both with hotmail? Anyone else?

I'd be surprised if I havent just fixed this, bit of a schoolboy error :$ Who is your email provider? And is anyone else getting this?

Ok, i'll have another look. cheers.

And... without trying to be annoying, did it happen for you this morning?

Wiki is back in action. http://wiki.trials-forum.co.uk - I'll add it to the header at some point. An idea that has been swimming around in my head would be to convert it to a 'Trials Manual' - everything you need to know about trials split up into chapters which could then be downloaded as a PDF. Editable as a wiki. What time and day are you getting the server error?

please email banners at trials-forum.co.uk if you'd like to advertise on the forum and we'll sort something out

Nice one Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. If the background gradients or anything are giving you hassle (or you think it would look better if done a bit differently) then feel free to change them too - they're not set in stone

I've made some changes to the backup scripts. Let me know if you have the same issues tomorrow

The observant amongst you will have noticed that /forum/ has been removed from the URL. Only took about 7 years Once google has caught up I think we'll be enabling friendly urls (eg, http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/this-is-the-topic-title)
