Bluetooth operates at 2.4GHz, so technically the seller was correct.

I've yet to come across a modern wireless keyboard that didn't use Bluetooth...though I do remember having some old school ones that were infra-red.

Yes, I was aware of that and the massive confusion it causes.

I am trying to purchase via Ebay a 32Gb USB memory stick. The first failed to be delivered, so I was refunded. From a different seller, I ordered, paid and waited - but the seller hadn't accepted the payment. I have ordered a third one, maybe third time lucky?

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

I'd never purchase any USB memory from eBay. Too many fakes flying around. The worst thing is that you don't know you have a fake until you try and read your files off - and can't!

H2testw tests USB and other memory to ensure it is not fake. I use it as the first step when I buy any new memory - If it flags up a fake, I just raise a dispute with Ebay and mention I have tested it with H2testw and it has declared it a fake.

Harry, The Bluetooth keyboard arrived today and installed instantly on my tv. This will make installing Kodi add ons much easier. Thank for the link. John.

There is a free app for iphone and I would imagine Android that you can download pair with your device that has user friendly menus and a keyboard.

Search for Amazon firestick remote and also better still Kodi remote. Free and instant

There is, but it only works on some of the later Iphones and you are still working with a virtual keyboard rather than ones with physical keys.
