    How do I get all this working or should it all work

    Thanks for your answer - it sounds like this might work and it makes sense (but hardly a birthday gift if I have to spend time and money though). I have looked on eBay (UK) and found a few, I will get back to you because I don't know what to do with one or where it should go, although I can...
