Series 16 Episode 19: Winter Special
This week on The Gadget Show, Pollyanna, Jon and Ortis had the challenge to test the latest high-end and gadgety winter clothing that could keep YOU warm on those winter months. Pollyanna had fun on the slopes at the SnowDome in Tamworth testing high-tech sledges; Jason went shopping to find the Last Minute Gifts for Christmas and Suzi was swinging and climbing her way through tree tops testing the Top 5 Winter Boots!

In Suzzi's feature about movie streaming, She mentioned at the end that on the website there is a guide to the best ways to connect your laptop to your pc. I cant find this guide, Could you possibly send me a link to it? Many thanks Adam

adam - the best way is to get an HDMI card for your PC (if it doesn't have HDMI out already - lots of laptops do). The advantage of this is that the video and audio are combined in the one cable - any other method means messing about with separate video and audio input (which your TV may not support). Search for "hdmi pci card" and make sure they support both audio and video (some only give video). --A

Ordered Soundtrack of My Life as a gift but thin got cold feet - it requires you to sign up for a continuous Paypal authority, the Twitter button is in Russian and there is none of the legally-required info about the site's contact details or information about the licensing of the music - has the Gadget Show checked it out?
