    Agreed on the browsing aspect. Yep, for streaming media they are excellent, but if you want to do it all on one screen, I think for all-round performance, a decent connected PC to an HDTV beats everything else simply because of the affordable power. You can do all of it in one box**. I mean the Games, Shopping, TV etc.. Even mundane stuff like MS Office never looked better. And things like Netflix are available on Win10. I do accept it is a solution slightly more favoured by the nerd, though. ;)

    **OK, two boxes if you count the TV itself. Thinking slightly longer term I hoping that 4K TVs become available non-Smart. The PC I'm currently using would need a slight bit of upgrading, but not much really.

    Let's get one of the mods to start a poll and ask whether we should delete all posts that are off topic in the "New Sponsor" thread, or just leave it to ramble on regardless..

    It is the basic human right of all football fans to ramble endlessly and pun incessantly.

    I barely understand the football discussion on here. All the rest goes straight over my head.

    Plug it in and turn it on....if it works, who needs to know more. It's just how people used to talk about hi-fi....so busy worrying their widgets didn't wangle, they forgot to enjoy the music. Can you hear a hiss on that? No, I can't...I'm eating crisps.

    Had a virgin media van behind me named Marlon Vando. Apart from Virgin VAN Dijk what other Saints names would you like them to try and get on their vans? Ryan Bertvan? I'll get my coat.

    I was doing an assist for you. I notice you didn't come wading in before with it. ;)

    Besides, Vanyama is fine. Damn sight better than Sadio Vane. <whistle>
