As she uses Virgin TV and telephone service, this has thrown me completely as all my experience is with the old-fashioned BT type service. After a quick look at the Virgin website, I can't find a single word of help on this topic. There must be a straightforward article somewhere with all the necessary info, so I thought I'd consult the Techlore oracles. Help me please! My main queries are about how the service works, and she'lll need any hardware (that isn't part of Virgin's package). Thanks for reading this.

My head unit is a Sony Xplod, that is just wired directly into the stock speakers. All I did was add a little bass with a Diesel Audio SRS Pre-Amp, an Acoustik Power LT980/2 amp, and a pair of 10" JBL GT1041D subs. Basically, it's always worked great except for the pre-amp I had to exchange due to a bad knob. Then suddenly one day my bass speakers cut out when playing a deep bass song at loud volume. Turn the unit off for about 5 minutes, and they're back on. As long as I'm dealing with bass at low volume, or only a little bass at high volume, it works no problem. Speakers don't pop or crackle, cone seems fine. Amp doesn't get hot. Voltage from the battery 12.5 volts constant with 12 volts from the remote. It's the 'ok sometimes part' that's throwing me for a loop. Monster 12 guage to the subs. 10 guage fused to the battery. Changing out an average sized ground tomorrow, to a short 10 guage as well.

Built-in Four-way Power: While this is standard in most in-dash CD receivers, you'd better check just in case. Without this feature, you'll need a separate amp to crank your tunes. Sound Control Options: You might only want simple bass or treble controls, or you might want a loudness control for a fuller sound, a bass boost to get you through your hip-hop phase, or a multiband equalizer and digital signal processing controls to fine-tune your sound to your vehicle's contours. Security Features: There are many security options available--from detachable faceplates to programmable security codes and built-in alarms. CD Changers : Having a multidisc CD changer will lead to safer driving and enhanced security. Load up several CDs before you drive, and you'll be ready for hours of listening pleasure and convenience. Digital music CD Changer: A revolutionary product that allows you to connect your iPod or MP3 player directly to the CD changer port of your original car stereo for the best possible sound quality, it will even allow you to control it...

The signal is strong, my computer says the device is working properly, I can download from bittorrent and limewire but can't connect through a browser. I am running vista, and yesterday I bought and installed a new wireless card and have the same problem. I called belkin support and they said adjust the settings on my router, but if I never changed them why would it stop working? Has anyone seen this before? Thanks, all.

I have ripped music from store bought CDs using Windows Media Player. I then used a program called Bonkenc audio encoder to save them in MP3 format. I want to now transfer them to a CD in MP3 format so I can cram as much as possible on it and then play the CD in my trucks radio. I was told that this could be done and to save the music I am burning to CD as data, not audio. If I save it as audio I can only get 15 or so songs on a CD, as data I can get 100+ songs on CD. I am using a CDR disc and it plays on my computer but not in my trucks radio. What am I missing?

I also get asked sooo many times per day from my customers about connectors on the back of their routers and coming out of their wireless internet cards for their laptops, only im not sure which is which... There are connectors like (Reverse Polarity) TNC, (Reverse Polarity) SMA, and so on and so on... any one know where I could find out more about each router/wireless card? Be it schematics, or connector type, or which ones are the most proliffic? Really appreate any feedback.
