I now have the methods for re-linking all my kit in several different combinations to meet a variety of needs.

So, of course, my next bout of insane desire is upon me.

I'm getting  a knock down silly price piece of kit from BT which will give me On Demand whatever whenever I please over the internet (films - TV series - etc).

It uses an ethernet port link via the electric sockets from a broadband wireless modem (which of course I already have). Plug one wire from electric socket to ethernet port on modem. Then anywhere, any room, plug similar cable from an electric socket to a digibox connected to TV.

It's sold as a wireless solution, which it isn't so they are being naughty. It's only half wireless LOL.

I've looked for a true wireless solution and can't find any - they must be imminent - but this is quite a clever way around it.

It avoids all the other solutions like Sky, TiVo etc and the On Demand is really really cheap - in fact for me it is essentially free as I just pay off a stupidy small payment for the box and cables.

The digibox is twin tuner. I can link it in to my existing spaghetti system. This will up my able to view/record at the same time to 8 options. Until the world has a truly view On Demand anything ever filmed/recorded/etc I think being able to capture/view 8 at once ought to satisfy me.

Everyone who is chained to their bed for hours on end should have this set up. The only downside is you can't really go for the chintzy flowery bedroom look - lucky I don't want that anyway - effectively I dwell in a machine room. ;D

Sometimes, the real journey can only be taken by making a mistake.

Griffin, whatever happens, resist the urge to add this to your setup. Sure, you're thinking it will be convenient, close at hand, add another screen's worth of options. But the additional cabling and switchers will be a nightmare.

I'll bear that in mind Po9 ;)

But I was thinking of branching out into digital mobiles for when I am too tired to sit up.

Strangely,if you do a Google search for those terms that's not the equipment recommended.

I didn't need to use Google ;)

This evening I used my digital equipment for Personal Services*


* Walters gives a brilliant performance, a slow moving start which builds to nice climax. To enjoy one has to stay with it at the start, but it's well worth it for the latter stages.
