generally only watch the big races on the TV.
I'm not sure where they are up to with Digital Radio (I haven't got that yet)
and yes my reception on AM is pretty scratchy too.
When I've been away from home, usually around Northern Victoria, I can pick up the races through relay over local FM stations.

I watch what ever they have on the bigpond site and the rest i listen the streams on the pc.

Chrome, as you know my computer knowledge is very lacking, now I'm not worried about this old thing as such (it's ancient) but it's just that there is some stuff in there that I would like to retrieve b4 drop kicking it. I thought it was safe as I never used it for Internet at all for ages.

Not sure how it happened, just switched on and got that screen, anyway it's Intel R, Celeron R 2400 MHz processor is that what you need?

By the way tried plugging the cordless into the back and also tried plugging in a corded keyboard etc and same thing.

Just b4 the Keyboard warning it says:

Detecting Primary Master WDC WD400BB-00FJAQ
Detecting Primary Slave.........None
Detecting Secondary Master Asus CRW-5232AS
Detecting Secondary Slave None

Does that make any sense to you?

GPS Chrome

Did you turn off the pc before putting in the corded keyboard, you may have ************ed the port otherwise as this creates a power surge.

Chrome, to b perfectly honest, I don't know, but I can say that there are 2 ports at the back and 2 ports at the front, none appear to be working. Is there anything I can do?

Just connect any USB device you may have into those ports.
If they work then the ports are OK.

All fixed, thanks to all who helped, especially Lomaca

I understand you have fixed the issue, but sometimes if computers are not switched of at the power point the USB can stop working, fix is to switch off the computer and pull out the power cable, leave it for around 5 minutes for the capacitors to discharge, then power up again

Pete, yes it appears that, that is it, as I am in the middle of renovations, (well hopefully more than the middle????) and the power has been switched off several times ....... so that could easily have been the problem; anyway, all is ok!
