    Music mastered for movie better than CD version

    Yes!  Thank you. I've thought this many times during movies and keep meaning to look it up later but never remember to. I'm glad I'm not alone.

I must have spent 4 hours there and they were just freaking glorious ! I still dream about them at night So badly want to put...

    Artists you'd love to see live, but likely won't tour SA

    Another vote for the National. Have listened to little else for nearly 2 months now. Trouble will find me is a ridiculously good album.

    Netflix

    All the guys having buffering or quality issues, raise your hand if your internet is with telkom ... Call someone like openweb, webafrica, afrihost, even mweb and ask for a free trial. They often give you 5 gigs to use over a few days. See if there's a difference. The only complaints I've...

    Internet Streaming issues

    This is 24 minutes long and is about US ISP's, but seems frighteningly similar and relevant to what many of us here are experiencing. Worth watching if you are netflix or other streaming service user ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37nfG8m0XzQ#t=140

    Aupio personnel radio

    http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,31442.0.html Hope this helps. Also, don't know if you have tried Deezer yet, but you can use it in SA and even sign up in Rands with an SA credit card. Worth a look.

    In Wall Tablet for Multi room

    You can also look for an app called bluetooth umbilical. You pair your tablet up to something bluetooth in the room, then configure the app to sound an alarm if it loses the bluetooth connection. If you someone takes the ipad more than 10m or so away the alarm should sound. Should be enough...

    Yep, that all looks pretty good. The unotelly website has a very good step by step setup guide for almost every device too.

    HDMI over Single CAT6 (with IR) using Network Switch

    It sounds like the OP wanted to use a network switch as an 'hdmi splitter' after the HDMI converters had already put the signal onto the cat6 cable. It won't work with most hdmi over cat5/6 extenders. Switches are just that. Switches. You can switch between one or the other, but not both at...

    Netflix

    It will work fine with a tv live or apple tv or ps3, what have you. You need to use an internet browser to set up your unotelly account, and to periodically update your ip address. If you have internet on a cell phone even, then that is sufficient. Every time your modem reboots or your...

    Using Samsung TV as monitor via Ethernet

    My solution to this was to buy a laptop off gumtree. I searched for a decent one with an hdmi port and found one going cheap because the battery was poked. No problem since its permanently plugged in. Add a wireless keyboard and mouse or just use the remotemouse app. If its not a smart tv it...

    HDMI over Single CAT6 (with IR) using Network Switch

    A network switch isnt just a splitter. An unmanaged network switch will require a router to control traffic. Since the hdmi extenders sont normally have IP adresses, the switch wont be smart enough on its own to know where to send the info to. Spike linked some extenders that sit on the...
