The base station charges two sets of headphones OK.

The SKY HD box conveniently outputs an analog stereo signal simultaneously with the optical digital 5.1

UPDATE: 4 Feb 2010.

Today this SCART->3.5mm headphone adapter arrived and I found it worked to get stereo out of my home theatre unit so now I can get headphone sound while watching DVDs or AVIs on a USB flash drive. The sound out on the SCART turns on when the HT speaker volume is set to Min (0).

Had the old USB cable so I didn’t need to get one. Downloaded the newest software from Canon and up and running. The envelope printing is much easier than the old printer and the OCR works better too, not that I ever find much need for that. Used up the sample photo-paper and thought the results were very good. I’ll probably never buy any more.

Cheap, prints quickly and well, works with OS X 10.6.2. Ink looks dear but I don’t print very much.

Trying out the Bodum double wall glasses in the Tassimo to see if it really makes a coffee with three layers.

It tasted quite nice too.

Despite Amazon Prime next day delivery it was too dark to use my new Utility Bar when it arrived. Tomorrow perhaps.
