Hi,
I am streaming video (VOB files with subtitles) from my media server Linksys MediaHub to my PS3 and to a Bravia TV set, through a wired network. The videos play nice, but I cannot display subtitles existing in VOB files.
I have also tried to play same VOB files (with subtitles) by connecting an USB hard drive to PS3, with no success. Can anyone help, please?

Hi all

Recently a friend of dad gave me his old I-mate JAMin saying that it was fully charged but had trouble starting up.
Its true, not only would it only get to the IMate boot screen it also won't charge. The website only has the most recent military model not older ones so I can't find help there. It came with nothing else, just it and the manuel. Now even though I acquired a Huawei X1 I would like to get this running, the prospect of my first Windows phone is exciting( I think so anyway). I tried a hard reset but to no avail.

I bought the Aldi supplied Hitachi life studio external hard drive (1TB) to use as a pvr to record from the usb link on my Dick Smith HD tuner. I can record from the tuner to a usb stick but it refuses to recognise the hard drive, even after reformatting. It seems that the life studio software on the drive is on a hidden partition (?) and preventing the pvr function. I have heard that I might have to erase and overwrite the Hitachi followed by reformatting to fat 32 (the only supported output from the dick smith tuner, to get it to work.

Hi there my iPhone is disabled for 21 million minutes I would restore it but I want the photos from it and I no longer have access to the computer I activated my iPhone with. Is there anyway to get my photos from it.

There's an interesting story in the Sydney Morning Herald today - http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/technology-whats-next-f... - where Mark Pesce was asked what he thought the next technology to disappear over the next few years.

Read the story but I've got to say I disagree with him.

What do you make of this interesting Australian Win7 tablet? Specs are impresive.

Having intermittent "Lens Error- restart camera" problems with Canon Canon SX20IS camera. I wish to eliminate whether batteries in poor condition are the cause.

Batteries: have 4 sets of NIMH AA batteries bought over a number of years. After recharge all sets around 1.4v & when left for say week drop but still in 1.3 range. The charger has refresh button which I periodically use.

1)Do recharegeables deteriorate over time, none have been recharged more than 500 times ratings?
