SAN FRANCISCO, March 15 /PRNewswire/ -- In recent years, the Do-It-Yourself lifestyle has been gaining in popularity as people look for ways to take control of their time and money. One area that most consumers usually give up easily on is technology – whether it's programming the latest device or transferring music files to a new MP3 player, professional help is usually sought out. With the impending arrival of both the iPad and 3D TV's, many more consumers will be tempted to pay expensive fees just for a bit of help. But there's an alternative – for a fraction of the cost of a house call, consumers can fix the problem themselves with the help of an online Expert.

	Q: I just bought a new plasma TV but I'm disappointed with the picture. How do I fix this?
	A: In order to receive a high-def picture, you will also need to buy a new high-def cable or satellite box or ask your cable company to provide one for you. It could also be that you're not using an HDMI cable, so check for that. (See example answer here.)

	Q: I heard you can now stream Netflix movies through your Blu Ray player, how do I do this?
	A: Assuming that your Blu Ray player has this feature (most new models do), you still need a broadband connection from your home network to your player. This can easily be done with a hardwire Ethernet cable to your router or most manufacturers will sell a wireless adapter (Dongle) to connect instead. (See example answer here.)

	Q: I have an older Blu Ray player and have never had a problem playing discs before, but I just bought a new release and it doesn't seem to be working? What could be the problem?
	A: Most Blu Ray players have the ability to be upgraded with software, which is required for some newly released movies. This can easily be done by going to the manufacturer website to download and install the update. It can be installed with a simple flash drive or by connecting to the home network. This will upgrade the unit and also make it compatible with newer Blu Ray discs. (See example answer here.)
