Is Waking the Dead on Britbox? If so, I'd subscribe immediately.

A +1 from me, too. One wants to know at the earliest possible point when intruders are around so as to maximise both self-preparedness and time for the cavalry to respond. Only problem is that the wireless beams are now the targets of thieves! Do they steal the beams solely for the purpose of...

Two decent scores for me: - Dischem was selling 56-tablet bags of Finish All-in-One Max dishwasher tablets at R219.95 for one and R199.95... for two; and - Microsoft had good specials on Xbox games so I picked up Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Edition and GRID Ultimate Edition for less than R800...

Apparently the standard on a Golf 7 GTI is a whole litre of oil between services... My 1997 Corolla RSi runs on Helix 20W-50. It's a high-mileage motor (400,000km unopened) but because of its high-revving nature (a redline of 8100RPM), the -50 oil is what's recommended to prevent foaming of the...

Is that a proper surge arrester you're talking about? I'm keen on protecting the whole house and not just the electronic/AV kit.

Yes, the higher the alphabetical character, the better the TV. The alphabetical character indicates the position of the model in the range while the numeral indicates the year model. For example, my C9 is a mid-range 2019 model. The CX is the 2020 model and the C1 is the 2021 model. The C1 is...

Since Nedbank is giving me 50% off both tickets and a popcorn combo at Scene Extreme for the new Bond flick, I intend on giving the Clearwater Mall branch a try soon. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Is that beep alarm not to inform you that the battery is almost discharged?

When I was considering this player, I searched for reviews high and low - without any success. It's an unheard-of brand with what appears to be no international support or presence. I kid you not, there's simply no trace of GMI as an A/V brand overseas. There were simply too many unknowns about...

Agreed, the revision that's just been launched is more a v1.5 than a v2. Nothing to worry about.

There was a minor (internal) design revision a month or two ago but I'm waiting for the "v2" before I plough my cash into one. The "v2" ought to have all the niggles worked out, similar to what Sony did with the PS4. I see that GTA V and Gran Turismo 7 will be released in March 2022 so if the...

Sean, it looks like the site could really gain some traction because it is almost unique in SA. The design is simple and sleek. The posts are well-written. Well done! Will you be limiting the topics to audio-related kit only, i.e. not TVs, BD players, etc?

Hello, gents. My little AV centre currently consists of an OLED TV, a Denon amp, Grundig front L&R speakers, a Wharfedale Diamond centre, Energy 12in sub, PS4, PS2, 4K UHD Blu-Ray player, 1080p Blu-Ray player and other minor accessories. Quite obviously and despite being as insured as I can be...

Agreed on Windsor. Some people also know it as Little Nigeria/Ghana/Somalia/Ethiopia/insert-other-African-country-name-here and the crime rate is off the charts. So avoid a sale if the seller is located there. Cresta itself is okay, but what is known as the Windsor-creep is starting to affect...

I think it was the "facelift" version of your Hilux, Eric - it's a facelift that I don't believe we ever received in SA... To add to your sequence, Clarkson first acquired it from a farmyard - it was a rust bucket of note. He first drove it through Bristol (into walls and trees and down three...

I'm late to the party but this is a wonderful story. I have three kitties at home, all of them rescues from the same litter. In April 2015, my old man and I were out for a walk one cold morning and took a small detour to look at a road bridge over a river that had recently been renovated. We...

Without considering the safety aspects of the issue, particular classes of vehicles are exempted from the seat belt requirements because installing them would compromise the originality of the car and originality counts when it comes to old cars! Imagine having to drill into the body/chassis of...

Agreed wholeheartedly. My old man taught me about the "power" of a credit card and always said that I must pay the full amount back on exactly the due date on the statement - not a day earlier or later. This is a principle I've adhered to since I got the card. But I've recently read that banks...

Seconded. Morne's now had his expert hands on three of my cars, all returned looking better than new.

How could this law possibly be enforced? Are the clowns going to deploy cops at every fuel station across the country?
