Phonewatch will install a GSM signal if you don't have a phone line.

we aren't with phonewatch but the company we are currently with quoted us installation fee of €575 + €350ish monitoring fee per year. Up from €220. Needless to say we told them to fup right off and we'd be done with them as soon as we found a better offer.

One thing I will say though in the 2 times we've been out and the alarm has gone off and they couldn't get us on the phone the Gardai have been there too fairly sharpish say the neighbours

Heya lads,

I'm trying to stream to a Windows 10 laptop which doesn't have a lot of power it's an Acer aspire v5-122p I think.
I keep getting disconnected. I'm on wireless with a Horizon box as the router but the test within the Xbox app says it should work on the highest settings(all boxes get a tick)
I'm guessing the slow laptop is to blame?
Has anyone any experience with cheap laptops/Tablets that can confirm what the problem is.

Just an update on this, could not connect the laptop with Ethernet as I couldn't find the adapter but I'm pretty sure it's the laptop rather than the horizon box/wifi. I found the charger off my little ones link 8 Tablet and Windows 10 works faster on that than it does on the Acer aspire. Anyway that connected wirelessly no problem and doesn't drop connection or anything like that. The connection quality automatically sets to very high and only the odd time does it suffer quality issues with a bad connection Message.

On a seperate note I preformed a wired speed test on the Xbox and its 65 down 25 up but the latency was 153 is this normal???
Only tested once mind you as I can't get near the thing since I connected it to her Tablet and she seen unraveled was on ea access, which she wanted after seeing that stampy guy playing it. She's nearly finished it!
It's funny actually she is streaming to the tablet playing unraveled and had you tube snapped at the side watching stampy playing the level she is and trying to finish it quicker than him:-) all on an 8 inch screen.

Yes this is normal Xbox speed tests and pings to Seattle so that is pretty good, in my FTTH connection I also get 150ms and never any lower so you are good. When gaming it will be off local servers so you pings will be a lot lower for that.

Anybody using the one guide for tv? I have a Manhattan Plaza Freesat box and I cannot for the life of me get it to work with the one guide.

Yes. With a sky box last year. Virgin TiVo box at the moment. What's not working for you?

Used it briefly with my sky box, then switched back to using them separately as the xbox wasn't able to control my soundbar and the fact i needed to use the sky remote anyway to access any recordings seemed to eliminate any convenience of the xbox as an overall media centre.

But in terms of set up to control the sky box itself it was a 2 minute job really.

If it's compatable with your box, and it should tell you if it is, you might need an infrared blaster.
Mine worked with a Sky HD box but it made the picture all grainy and the fact I had to switch on the Xbox every time I wanted to watch tv made me quickly disconnect it.
Now I have it connected to my horizon box(I get free tv from virgin because they have equipment on my house) which I only used for a modem before but I can't get it to change the channel so it's not much use either, I think I might need an Infrared blaster to get it to work with it.

Edit: sorry I misread I think. You can't get the Xbox to get the tv listing up in the one guide? If so I'm no help to you:-)

ibFoxer

I'm probably not explaining myself right- when i plug in the freesat box, i can see the channels, change the channel, etc, but the actual EPG doesn't have the correct listings, there's no option for 28.2 unless via sky etc.

If i switch my region to UK i can get the correct EPG no problems.

the witness has been announced for a September release on Xbox one. Jonathon blow just mentioned it on twitter

My Xbox keeps saying, 'For this game, you need to be online' even though I am.
Plus the volume output is about half what it was. I've done a hard reset and checked everything but don't see anything different. Am I missing something obvious? Cheers for any help.

Edit: Games are working grand now, still have the volume issue though.

Is the volume through a headset or the TV?

Through headphones.

Aren't headphones controlled through the guide? Bring up the guide, the volume should be in there somewhere.

Yeah, I've looked through it and reset everything and messed around with levels, and my tv settings too. I hung my tv on the wall today and since then the volume's been weird. I'll go through it again tomorrow. Cheers though.

Forza 6 showing up free for me in the store?

Is there a quick way to copy a bunch of games from one external hdd to another?
