Anyone familiar with resetting Google Nexus 7 tablets? Lad in work has one and he's somehow put a password on it that he doesn't remember putting in. Every now and then it lets him on it via the face recognition that doesn't always come on on the lock screen. He's tried to usual "hold the power and the volume buttons", but when he gets to the screen with the little android lay on its side, it still says locked and won't allow him the chance to do anything.

You're probably sorted by now and/or you've already tried this, but in case not Malwarebytes sorted that for me a few months ago.

We have one on display but some knob has locked it. Anyway, I'm fairly certain we've tried that. It wouldn't let us do it via the menu because we don't know the pin, I'll double check the hard reset whilst connecting it to a comp, but I'm sure when we last tried it it was still locked on the 'android lying down' screen.

If that doesn't work then Asus/Nexus support are your next port of call, that is what you pay for.

Anyone having or had trouble with sky recording. It's been doing it for a while now but getting worse. After doing a recording in the planner it says "part recorded" and when you try and watch it it freezes for a few seconds and you get the message "Recording interrupted by loss of signal". I have been on various sky forums and this is fault 7 and no one seems to get any joy from sky over this problem. Resets and new boxes don't resolve the problem. I can't be a###d to spend hours on the phone with them so if anyone has had this issue can you let us know how you got on.

Ring them up and tell them you're leaving for Virgin. they'll soon fix it

Living in Hull, Virgin ain't an option.

,Just like our land line Broadband we're stuck with Karoo,(no BT or Virgin to choose from) although there seems to be some wireless providers moving in but not sure how reliable they are.

Could it be your satellite dish? We had a problem a while ago where we had issues with recording and signal and it turned out the dish lost line of sight every now again because a tree had grown and when the wind blew the branches and leaves blocked the line of sight.
