    Screening? NOTHING!
    My Kuro started to need re-tuning every time I switched it on.
    Pioneer sent a plug-in 'patch' , but unfortunately.....it was for a different model (durrr...) so my Kuro seized up.
    "Can you get it to Heathrow (area)?"
    (I live in Bristol)....as if.....!
    so, eventually, got a pallet, it was collected. Then.....nothing.
    Rang DK Audio (the fixers) who couldn't find it! It's only a big pallet with a 50 inch TV in a box, after all.
    Eventually (which corner was it abandoned in?) they DID find it.
    But, 3 weeks on, STILL no sign!
    So I'll be watching the Utd V Spurs game on the iMac.

    It's the result of the 'throw-away society'?

    Costco usually tell you just to take stuff back and get a new one, for example!

    Wow! I've been watching 'Predestination' 2014, with Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook. The plot is so complex and twisty, I'm going to have to watch this again.

    The acting is some of the best I've ever seen, amazing performances. Sarah Snook steals the film from the excellent Hawke. Great stuff!!

    Here's a plot synopsis. See if you can figure this out! http://www.thisisbarry.com/single-po...Plot-Explained

    If you like a movie that screws around with your head, You'll love this.
