I remember it well. God be good to the days. The BBC codes were four digits long. The RTÉ ones about 15.

Guys trying to understand/figure something out.

Can any of you explain what the clock on the name icon means?

Is it specific to the icon owner for all contacts or is it a setting between the icon owner and the recipient?

Select the contact and you should see disappearing messages as an option.

One of ye must have turned it on at some point.

So its between the sender and recipient or vice versa? Not a general setting on one or the other?

Doing a bit of sleuthing for someone on the source of a text

Correct

Thank you :+1:

I’m switching broadband from Virgin to Sky, they’re offering me Sky Q for not much extra. Is it any different from the old conventional Sky? I’m not really interested if it’s a streaming type thing that will have a 2/3 minute delay for sport .

Sure that’s what it must be. You’ll just have to look at the satellite alternatives if you want a better picture and actual live tv.

I have sky q. There is no delay on live sport. Only box sets and on demand is streamed. The live TV is through the dish. It has massive recording space on the box and you can record up to 5 things on it at same time even though I don’t know who would ever need to do that

Maybe you can do it with the normal sky box too now I don’t know but on the sky q box there is an apps folder that you can access Netflix, Disney, prime YouTube etc all through the box using the sky remote. That is useful IMO

It isn’t a laggy streaming thing at all. Q is excellent.

So you get the main box(beside where your connection point to your dish is). Your broadband connection will be where your phone line is.

Any additional mini boxes use your internal network to get their signal. As @gilgamboa says it’s the satellite signal so no lag. Also, each Q box acts as an Internet signal booster. And doesn’t require a TV cable for the TV signal. So if you want to move TV from room to room all you need to do is plug the mini box in wherever. The main Q box is fixed. The mini boxes can go anywhere.

It’s a really good product. So much so that when those absolute fuckwits from Sky completely butchered my recent home move and left me without broadband for a month and TV for a week I ate it because I’ve no interest in going to Vodafone or Virgin or whoever.

I fully work from home so that put me in a bit of a bind. In the month of September I used 103GB on my phone hotspotting for work and streaming TV.

@Blake makes no mention of a satellite dish here. He needs to sus out what he’s actually being offered at min cost.

Q is a satellite TV system. Its implied.

Yeah dot. TV and dot.net

I don’t have any option when I click on the default keyboard tab

Get to the settings of the swift keyboard and somewhere at the bottom there should be a setting like enable url controls or something. Toggle that and it should be gone
