Hi all,

I thought I'd post just to say that AT&T seem to be blocking the emails being sent out by the forum software at the moment.

I've emailed them asking to be unblocked.

If you've tried to sign up for an account recently and have not received the automated email then please email me directly...

Last post

We've seen a high number of errors from our email server over the last 48 hours due to AT&T blocking emails.

This means that anybody trying to sign up for a new account will not receive their activation email.

Please email me as per the post above (please include your chosen username!) and I'll...

I assume that the TV displays in a different resolution to the laptop?

If so, my guess would be that the problem is that WMC can't handle the change of resolution caused when windows detects the TV turn off and switches back to the laptop display.

I'm not sure there's any way around that.
