Any idea how Sky will be covering the game? I know they're showing the City/United matches but will they show other goals as they go in?

You would imagine so...

As ever, you won't find out until about 5 to 3 though.

I dont think they'll show goals going in but will probably just have updates. I'm torn between watching City and watching Jeff
:(

I'm going to garden. Will try to allow the 2 hours to pass & hope to fck that when I switch on the 2 results have gone right for us.

My nerves would be shredded otherwise.

Whether I manage to do this remains to be seen.

That should work...assuming you have a HDMI socket on your PC and tv. Some tvs take the monitor type cables and some older laptops might have an S-video socket (picture only).

If you're not sure take a pic of the sockets on your laptop and tv and we'll suss it out...

Is the problem not that he hasn't sourced his PC from his telly? :conf:

You need to tell the laptop to send the picture through the HDMI cable to the TV. Usually a function key which switches from laptop screen to external screen or both. Google it for your laptop -it's fairly straightforward.

You're not uploading a file. Just transmitting the pic.

Make sure you select the right source on the telly. Usually a button called 'Source'. Each HDMI socket on the telly will have a number 1-3. Just make sure you select the appropriate one under the source button.

If that doesn't work, try looking for the function button thingy Willy mentioned a couple of posts back. It will likely be a monitor/square looking button. F10 on mine (pressed with the Fn button at the same time)

Look at the top row of keys on your keyboard. You're looking for a key with a suare within a square...or something that refers to a screen - not 'Prt Scr' though
