    Honestly, I'd rather have downgraded from 8 to 7 than upgrading to 10.

    Ya, I have 7 on my desktop at homehome, and there's no way I'm upgrading!

    The guy in the repair shop was trying to talk me into upgrading to Windows 10 for free, why?

    It's a free upgrade for everyone and the most efficient and stable big update ever in windows. I haven't come across any big issues on my custom build desktops.

    I highly recommend it. No major changes but just streamlined with some handy new features.

    I've had so many issues with computers over the last few years that I politely declined when the guy offered. He was kind of funny though saying to call him if I reconsidered his offer. All I want is something that I can use to watch Netflix and order stupid crap off of Amazon.

    Is there such a thing as a built in tuner for a television where a gobsheen like myself doesn't need to connect it to an aerial? I've never had to do television stuff before.

    Newer tvs have the tuners built in, but you'll always need an Aerial or some other video source.

    Are you thinking of like Internet video streaming?

    Would it need to be wired up to the aerial?

    Was half-thinking of my options without having to resort to Sky (Chromecast etc) but more than likely I'll probably just get the basic channels for the free HD box.

    I have a Chromecast (actually 2), a Roku and a Sky Now TV box.

    I bought a Raspberry Pi 2 today, to use solely as a media device connected to the TV. I'd also like to get an Amazon Fire TV Stick at some stage in the future.

    If there's anything you'd like to know, or need help with, ask away dude!

    You should take a picture with the selfie stick of yourself watching the TV while wearing the straight outta Compton jacket and eating a pizza.

    Then post it here.

    Most radio stations in Dublin were running competitions for the Rugby World Cup to win a TV and pizzas if you posted your "scrum face" so I took a pic with my dog and got it on one of them.

    I wish! Have a three week wait to get the TV now and the pizza thing comes along with it.

    Good win for Ireland, though you'd expect it against a team like Canada.

    Amazing game between S.Africa and Japan 19-19 atm with 25mins to go!

    Japan fully deserve it too really putting it up to them. Whether they can last the distance or not though may be another issue

    I'm in Dublin so I can't watch the game, but I'm surprised that SA are having it put up to them so much, I'd expected a cruising victory. If Japan get a win, or even a draw, it'll be one of the biggest rugby shocks ever.

    well 20m left and 22-22 now, still think S.Africa will pull away but you gotta be pulling for Japan watching this (as I am via filmon in Taiwan), real underdog story afterall.

    10mins left and it's 29-29!

    everytime Japan pin A.Africa back just when they look to be getting away, it's mad.
