    Total Adblock

    I have been using AdGuard on our Android phones for about a year. Works exceptionally well, except for when it doesn't. Every week or so it'll just stop passing through traffic, which requires a pause and resume to get going again. Small price to pay for the bliss of not being annoyed by ads...

    5.1 Surround on Youtube

    I had also noticed the availability of 5.1 on YouTube Movies a week or so ago on Android TV.

    Disney+

    After trying a few times after the app update it was still quite terrible with stuttering and buffering, so I had given up. Got a bit bored waiting for F1 to start this afternoon so fired up Disney+ and spent an hour watching at 1080p with absolutely no problems. I guess I'll wait a bit before...

    Which Andriod Auto Headunit

    Seems I'm a bit late to the party... I've had a Pioneer AVH-Z5050BT for a few years now, and it's been great. Android Auto would misbehave every so often, but always app issues and not the head unit. This old unit does not have wireless AA, and I've learnt the hard way that having a quality Type...

    Nostalgia? Only 25+ years ago

    That is a beautiful rack indeed. One day I will have an old rack for my entertainment area. Sent from my IN2020 using Tapatalk

    Disney+

    I agree. I have already given up on Disney+. If they improve, I will probably reconsider. I am glad I didn't sign up at the annual discounted rate I had registered for, I would have been mighty annoyed. Sent from my IN2020 using Tapatalk

    Disney+

    Ok so I've bought an Ematic AGT419 to replace my Mi Box S, as the Mi Box doesn't support more than 5.1 channels of audio anyway, and that's a requirement for local content. Similar streaming issue with the Ematic, but not as severe as the Mi Box. Streams perfectly in 1080p for 20-30 minutes...

    Disney+

    Much less so that Prime. Gave up on it a few months into it, got tired of foreign movies and series being shoved down my throat. I like that they have a lot of the old great series and movies in their library. A lot of stuff I watched in SD quality with stereo audio I can now enjoy in 4k with...

    Disney+

    Same here, both Netflix and Prime work perfectly. YouTube too, as well as Kodi and Plex streaming from my local library. Sent from my IN2020 using Tapatalk

    Disney+

    Has anyone tried Disney+ on a Xiaomi Mi Box S? I get good playback for 10-15 minutes, then it starts stuttering. It's not a buffering issue, more like the CPU just cannot keep up. A friend with a Mi Box S gets the same playback time, then the spinning buffering icon. His device also becomes...

    Streaming F1 live ??

    I watched the last race on F1 TV on a Xiaomi Mi Box S, and it works flawlessly. Definitely a better experience than DStv, and well worth the asking price. Sent from my IN2020 using Tapatalk

    Run flat tyres

    I have similar wear on the inside of the rears on my A3 3.2, Touareg and Audi Q7. I have developed the habit of checking wear very frequently, as just a glance at the top of the tyre is useless with this kind of wear. Nearly had a heart attack the day I spotted canvas on the inside edges of my...

    Your Absolute Dream Car

    Wow, what a thread. Some amazing cars here, but the Sport Quattro is probably the pinnacle of automotive madness amongst the cars listed. The Delta Integrale will have to join my dream garage, along with a 190 Evo 2. I've had the pleasure (and pain) of owning many cars, and have realised just...

    RC hobby?

    Well this thread brings back some memories... I have not played with my toys in about 4 or 5 years. I definitely need to run my nitro motors this coming weekend. I have a few 600 size nitro helis, a TRex 550 flybarless electric, a 25% scale Cessna 188 AG Wagon, a 33% scale Piper Cub (co-owned...

    TV blown on first day of lockdown - any suggestions?

    Good day, hope everyone is keeping safe. I have friends in Marloth Park who lost their TV on the first day of lockdown. Does anyone have any suggestions on where one may be able to order a replacement from during lockdown? I believe some courier companies will be working, so delivery should be...
