Attn: UK Sky digital customers

Hi every1
If you live in the UK, and have a Sky digital connection, then you must have a sky digibox. I know the brand of the digibox varies from home to home. But when I was looking at the back of my Grundig digibox, I noticed among the input / output sockets a coventional PC type socket labelled RS232. Does anyone know what its function is ? I haven't tried plugging anything into it since I am afraid it damage my digibox / PC.
But I was wondering, if it could be used for input, it would be great because i have a DVD drive on my PC, and I can then watch movies on a bigger screen without a TV tuner Card on your PC!!

So any information will be helpful. Or you may want to try it yourself.
Thanks for replying!

IE + related programs delay

Hi guys
Having some strange delay problems with IE + related programs.

In IE: (Internet Explorer 6 SP1)
- There is a delay when I switch from one field to another in a form (like a login form) no matter whether I use the mouse or the TAB key to go to the other field.
- There is a delay when I click on a submit button on a form.

By "delay" I mean that everything freezes in the IE window (toolbar buttons, menu etc.) but I can still move the mouse pointer.
Example 1: I am filling out a login form. I type out user name, click on password field. The window freezes (the mouse still works). I click on the Edit menu. Nothing happens. Only after several seconds the cursor goes on password field and the Edit menu appears.
Example 2: I press a submit button on a form. The window freezes (the mouse still works). Then I click on MS Word on the taskbar. MS Word window appears. Then I try to go back to IE. It doesn't load. Only after several seconds it restores.
Example sites: Where there is a delay: most forms, including cyberiapc.com login, hotmail.com login. Where there is NOT a delay: mail.yahoo.com

Related Programs delay
Programs such as Outlook Express, Address Book take a long time to open.
In Windows Help, the troubleshooting wizards don't display any answers. (they show questions, i click on a dot and click continue, I get a blank frame)
