cheers skidracer, much appreciated. I had to dig my miggy out from under a load of boxes before running the extension lead up to it in the photo. Get this though, I nicked the stereo leads of the miggy in order to hook my wifes laptop up[ to the telly for the first time - amazingly I can use the telly as a second monitor. I'm off for a glass of wine {;-), medicinal red variety of course.
