regular vs smart TV

I just have a HDTV and works grand. Mind you I've a PS3 to watch Netflix/WWE Network. If that's not an issue go for the cheaper one! I find Chromecast to be quite iffy myself, I've a HDMI cable for the computer if needs be, works brilliant.

IDIOT ALERT. IDIOT ALERT (Me):o

Lads I need a new TV, prepared to spend some money, 90% of telly I watch is netflix, streaming sites etc, is their any advantage to get a smart tv over a hdtv? Big difference in cost.

Sorry if that is a stupid question.:o:o

Smart TV apps can be buggy and not functional very well. You can link up devices such as Samsung phone/tab. Either go with them or LG for "smart" but I would get a "non-smart" TV. Add-ons like a chromecast are a wee bit finicky for some things but it depends what kinda price you're aiming for and what deals you can get when you buy.

If you want fewer devices, use Netflix and Youtube regularly then get a "Smart TV".

Bare in mind that with whatever you buy you are at the mercy of that companies development programme.

Ps, games consoles like PS3 for streaming are awful due to the fan noise.

Would anyone want to take part in a Last Man Standing among ourselves starting next week? I could make out a spreadsheet online of everyone's choice for the week.

Surprised at Chelsea getting held to a draw, and Arsenal losing.

Also, the own goal in United's game against Spurs, it's the first time the opening goal of the season has been an own goal.

Did you back it? Would've got decent odds.

Joe Gomez of Liverpool is in my Fantasy Football team. He got 8 points today. He's on my bench and all my first team have played.

I forgot how frustrating this game can be.

Oh bloody hell, I'd completely forgotten that aspect of it. I know I've had that happen a few times.

I left 17 points on the bench yesterday. Richards & Ayew with Coates there to make me feel slightly better. It'll happen a few times during the season, never gets less annoying.

No i didn't back it , pointless asking now, but what were the odds on West Ham before the game??

eh i dunno

Arsenal were 1/5 so I'd imagine the hammers were about 12/1 or possibly even 14/1

gimmick

Gomez got 3 bonus points too. He will be subbed in for me

Not sure if this is the right place but I think we discussed it here before, WWE Euroshop are offering 40% t-shirts for today only when you use a code that they give you at checkout and WWE Shop are having a "Buy one t-shirt, get one free" deal when you use the promo code BOGO.

I am having a problem with my laptop. Basically it keeps freezing when windows is loading. I get prompted to start up repair but then the repairs pop up bpx never appears to run that either just a grey screen. I don't think anything was installed or uninstalled on it lately.
Any advice?

Rjd2

Its an obvious answer but go have it looked at. I had the same issues with previous laptops and got them to repair, they just replaced the motherboard.

I am horrid with computers though so I may not be the best person to lesson though. Heck I had to pay someone to write this post, I am that ****e with them.:p

Has everyone here seen Borat? Sweet Jesus it has to be one of, if not the funniest film I've ever seen after watching it again recently. Opinions?

Yeah might try get get it looked at on Thursday. It's out of warranty so I'm not going to get it fixed if it's too expensive. Just has given me too much trouble I only wanted to use it as my friend needed it for her assignment

I'm getting the urge to get more wrestling shirts, I'm torn on getting a Roderick Strong either Sick Kick, or Sh*tty Little Boots (those chants were the best at the Rev Pro Summer Sizzler), or else a Shinsuke Nakamura shirt.

Happy 45th Birthday to the top goalscorer in Premiership history with 260 goals, Alan Shearer!

Can you load windows off a DVD? The other thing I'd be worried about is a hardware failure.

Lithium93_

To the best of my knowledge, you can load Windows from a DVD, assuming it's the Driver DVD you're talking about... Just stick it in the disk drive and go from there..

That's what i did before..

Yes but using a usb is much simpler.
