Please check your network connection. You check your…
Last Updated: February 2026 There is nothing worse than settling down to watch a film, only to find the actors are moving their lips but no sound is coming out. Or perhaps even more annoying: the sound is working, but it’s delayed by half a second, making the latest blockbuster look like a badly dubbed…
Last Updated: February 2026 You click “Down” on the remote, and three seconds later, the cursor moves. You try to open ITVX, and it spins for a minute before crashing. A sluggish Fire Stick is the most common complaint we hear from users. The good news is that your device probably isn’t broken—it’s just cluttered….
Last Updated: February 2026 You settle down to watch a movie, switch your TV source to the Fire Stick, and… BAM. Your entire screen is a flat, bright shade of neon green.

If you want to upgrade your TV without spending hundreds on a new screen, you are probably staring at two main choices: the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K and the Roku Streaming Stick 4K. On paper, they look identical. Both cost around £50 (often less on sale), both plug into the back of your telly,…
We have all had that phone call. “I pressed a button and the picture has gone.” “How do I get back to BBC 1?” “The TV is asking me for a password!” Modern Smart TVs are fantastic, but they can be a nightmare for older users or anyone who isn’t “tech-savvy.” The remotes have 50…
he scariest part of cancelling Sky or Virgin Media isn’t losing the channels. It’s losing the box. We are all addicted to the convenience. The ability to pause live TV when the doorbell rings.
