The process for entering the code into your SKY HD+ remote control for the LG HD TV is as follows, make sure you are not near the LCD when doing this:

1. Press the TV button.
2. Press and hold the Select and Red buttons down until the red light above the SKY button flashes twice, then let go.
3. Enter the code 0206 and press select.
4. Press the SKY button once, this completes the programming sequence.

Your Sky HD+ remote should now be able to control the basic features of your LG RZ37LZ55 tv, such as volume, standby, and channel selection or mode.

Do you need a cheap PAYG no contract SIM?
Setting up email on your sony ericsson mobile phone.

One of the cheapest Pay as you go SIM only no contract mobile network providers in the UK at the moment is GiffGaff. They currently charge only 8p per minutes for mobile or landline calls (ASDA mobile is same rate), but in addition don't charge you for calling freephone numbers from your mobile phone! Text messages cost 4p each. This is a vitual network run on O2 infrastructure, so solid partners behind them.

If you are interested in monthly bundles, they have unlimited texts for £5, 250mins, unlimited texts and unlimited mobile internet for £10 (this is a special offer that expires 31st March 2011, 150mins after that date). Other bundles available, and unlimited text/internet are standard above £5, they also offer free unlimited calls/text to other GiffGaff numbers (topup required every 90 days) so an ideal package for teenagers to use amongst themselves without running up huge bills. You can see their full call charges here.

If you have a second unlocked mobile phone or O2 tied handset and are interested in trying them out order a free Sim card with £5 credit (affliate link) or non affliate order page but not free credit and see for yourself.

They have a very helpful community, and no matter what version of handset you have, they will be able to get you up and running.



And by the way talking about mobile phones, did you know that by the end of 2011 all phones manufactured in the EU will have the same charger? Check this info video.

My old Xperia Sony Ericsson phone has broken, so I urgently had to get a replacement Samsung Omnia lite Windows mobile handset in order to continue running my business because all my appointments, contacts and client details were held in text messages that I had luckly backed up using microsoft's myphone service.

I did lose some data, but nothing that affected the running of my daily London driving lessons operation, even though it took me a while to get used to the Samsung interface as well as Windows Mobile 6.5 way of organising things. I now make it a duty to sync and backup my mobile phone everyday via my home WiFi network, and try to be extra care when out and about not to drop my phone (this was partly to blame on the one year old Sony Experia).

I'm not as hung up on the latest gadgets nowadays, especially when money is tight, so the new Iphone 4 was not on the tables since I'm a light mobile call user and don't need the large bundle of minutes offered to get these latest android and IPhones off the shelf. Hopefully my Samsung Omnia will last at least a year before developing a fault.
