The medical profession have discovered a new illness called OPD which is obsessive posting disorder. It generally effects individuals between 16 and 22 but there are some rare cases over 70. It's symptoms are posting on websites what ever rubbish comes into your head. There is no known cure but a lo...

Re: Holiday Insurance.
We use Staysure , they cover pre existing conditions. I expected a jump in the premium when I reached seventy last year but it did not happen. I find it better to talk to them on the phone when I renew every year.

Re: Digital Camera
Most phones have pretty good cameras particularly the latest Apple models. If you are looking at something a little better then consider a bridge camera. I have a Nikon with a 34 times zoom , it is less bulky than a SLR camera and has a fixed lense. To be honest some of the best photos I have taken ...

Re: The mag 256 box
I am assuming from previous comments that not many providers at this time can offer a service for the Mag 256 . I am loathe to buy old technology that is the 250 and 254 models and wonder how long it will be before all providers can provide a service for the 256 ?

Re: OMG no more toast!
You really have to be concerned about this so called research. One week they will tell you if you drink 2 glasses of red wine you will live for ever and the following week if you drink 3 glasses of wine you will be dead in 2 weeks. This all tends to come from universities and guess who is funding al...

Re: The mag 256 box
Thanks again for the feedback , one further question , what is the minimum download speed to operate a system like these. I am guessing you will need more than 6 mb broadband.

Re: The mag 256 box
Vic , that makes sense , I will only be using it for 3 months of the year in Cyprus and my tv is 10 years old and hardly cutting edge. Will probably go for the 254 but I have plenty of time to buy it as I am not coming out till May.

Re: The mag 256 box
Vic , Thankyou , it is steering me towards a Mag box and I suppose logically it would be best to buy the latest version. I notice the 256 on EBay is around £90 to £100 pounds. Now what shall I do with a draw full of androids.

Re: The mag 256 box
Since the demise of Sky in Cyprus I have fiddled around with various android boxes and recently an Amazon Fire stick. All seem to have developed problems and are not particularly user friendly particularly for my wife. The Mag boxes do appear to be easier to use but as stated earlier require a subsc...

Re: The mag 256 box
Thankyou , it would appear to be the same as previous boxes , I am in Cyprus for up to three months a year and I am not sure whether providers will give you short term contracts for TV .

Re: The mag 256 box
Are you still limited to having to pay for your TV channels or can you download bolt on's like Kodi for example. Thanks.

Re: Road tax renewals begins January 9
My user name is my email address , then a password , once in you have to use a further password and mine is the last three numbers on my passport. Hope this makes sense.
