    Splitting DSTV signal

    Hi all This is simple enough. I want to split my DSTV signal, into two, 1 to the TV in loung and 1 to TV in the room. I've used the Ellies splitter - 1 in to 2 out. But for some reason the splitter died after about 2 minutes, so i bought a second splitter, and the same thing happened, got...

    Mede8er

    Congrats sir. I'm sure you will have fun with it. However i do have a problem. Last night while watching some 720p and 1080p .mkv files i noticed some jagged movement. Its like the fps slow down at some parts, also the images are not as smooth as when i play it from the ps3, sort of jagged...

    God of War 3 audio issues

    My concern is that even when i change it to 5.1, or headphones or stereo, it is still output as 7.1. And also if i select it to direct on the AVR i loose a lot of low frequency ... basically there is no more bass at all. It's only when i use THX or something, does the bass come back - this is...

    MKV on a PS3

    Ye the best would be to use either of those programs but you will have to stream via ethernet to you ps3. If you going the MKV2VOB route you will have to put the converted file onto a external storage device, either usb flash drive of external hard drive. The you will have to rename the folder...

    Blu Ray DVD upscaling

    Well i have the PS3 slim, which is by no means a force with DVD upscaling, but i find does a very clean job of upscaling to 1080p. I run it via the onkyo 807 to a samsung 40inch LCD, and only if you look really hard you will see some jagged edges and a little pixelation, probably more the TV the...

    DAC.....

    I have the samsung 1080p upscaling model, can't remember the exact model now. And i use the PS3 slim for BD's and the Onkyo 807 AVR. So basically a great Dac is as good as a reputable universal player, but at about half the price.

    Wharfedale Evo 2 advice

    I tried listening to them now at HC, but no joy really, it was a crappy CD and there was a vacuum lady around. Anybody in the jhb/sandton area willing to let me have a listen to the evo 2's? I'll bring you some beer  ;D

    Wharfedale Evo 2 advice

    Hey guys i just saw tha HC has the evo 2 for R5999 a pair, and i'm in the market for a set of budget stereo speakers. My choices are the MA RX6, the Paradigm monitor 7, B&W 684 and now i guess the Evo 2. I saw them in rosewood and they do look very good, perhaps i can get them to let me test...

    DAC.....

    Thanks guys. Then i guess the next question is, should i rather get a DacMagic, or a midrange CD player like the Marantz 6003? From what i've read the Dac, will add a bit more sound detail to all sources, whereas the CD player would be a dedicated item.
