I know it's bonkers in our house when everyone is in the kitchen, I think they do it because I barely let them in there so they make the most of it when they get in!
Updating all the review section today and learning some code from John to boot! Getting all technical now I can do space break but John tells me that's how he started!
First step and all that....

Yeah actually I am, I don't understand some of it but there are other sections that seem to make sense I've been brave enough to remove lines of code too. Further down the line John is going to write me some lines of code that we can utilise throughout the site so hopefully I will learn a lot more, but for now the objective is getting the content on.

Well the last few days I've been trying to connect the bedroom TV with my router. OK another epic for you Angie. 
For years the bedroom telly has been connected to a bog standard Sky box so only one cable needed from the dish to the box. Can't remember if it was last year or the one before, the box developed a fault and the engineer came out to try and fix it. He couldn't so was going to take it away to check it out in the workshop, trouble was he didn't have another the same to leave in its place he only had a couple of Sky+HD boxes. He phoned the office to check out what to do and if he could leave one of the HD boxes, they said yes, I mean I said it was only on once cable and we didn't download any of the programs because it was connected to the router, they said yes. That was the last we saw of him and we've had the telly running off the HD box ever since with no sign of them ever taking it back.
So the other day paid £30 for a local digital engineer to come and change the single cable to a double hopefully so we could record and use the other benefits, I already have multi-room, quite often there are programs we want to watch all on at the same time and we can only record 1 while we watch another. Last night we had 3 programs we wanted so we recorded 1 on the living room TV while watching another and recorded the 3rd on the bedroom box which worked OK.
But we can't use catch up as it needs the broadband which I just can't get to work. I can get to the Network settings but I'm not able to get to anywhere to get it to connect either via WPS or Wi-Fi password the necessary stages are just not showing the box doesn't have any connection settings either, it doesn't have the necessary IP address or the other settings.
Something must be working OK as it's activated with regards getting all my subscribed channels and the HD ones, John said it didn't matter because we don't really use the other features and we can do them via the living room telly if we want. We only watch a couple of channels on it for about an hour last thing before settling down for the night and the odd occasion when John wants to watch something different to what I'm watching in the living during the day.
I suppose I could forget about it but if the features are part of the package I want them even if I don't use them.
