    Orders on Raru

    There is another forum, SA Gamer, who are owned by Raru, now largely abandoned and run by volunteers. There is a long-standing thread cautioning not to use Raru. Most people I know are aware of the problems there. If you’ve been waiting for an order that never materialised, request a credit to...

    SPL meter

    So just use the Audyssey mic on a tripod and forget the apps?

    I actually want to drop a recommendation here for Samsung repairs. Faxsure offer a truly professional service with collection and delivery. They answer emails promptly and do full spectrum testing, not simply repair and send it back. I also had no handling damage that I could see which is what...

    SPL meter

    Great topic! I'd honestly not considered looking up an app for this. There's quite a few options on the US iTunes Store. I've got a new Onkyo TX-NR626 AVR to setup. I'm keen to compare an app to the Audyssey mic. Now to choose: iPhone apps: iPad apps: Big Daddy: Comments:

    Sorry man, I actually was forced to get a refurb from Multichoice along with the TV repair. Only thing that was new was the AV Receiver.

    Case closed as of yesterday. Close to 2 months WTF. In the process the NR-515 was discontinued, a new authorisation had to be obtained and I got a NR-626 with WiFi! The TV repair seems to be perfect, no handling damage and the picture is still golden. Now to make a move and get the 2 coax...

    HD PVR woes

    The trick for sure is to have the older TDS850 model on a DCC plan. :D

    Sh!t happens - Home alarm trouble

    Your exact problem is solved by setting that PIR to "double knock". It needs to trigger twice in 5 seconds, or something like that, before it goes off. It solved my temp issues one shot. :)

    Sh!t happens - Home alarm trouble

    Insomnia much?? Your mind will be far more at ease if you retrofit a GSM module to your alarm system. Then if you get an SMS for an alarm activation on a PIR alone, you can decide if they could have reasonably bypassed the doors/windows. I have to strongly agree with audiomuze on the use of...

    Nespresso

    Can anyone recommend the stove top espresso makers? Eyeing out the Bialetti's for travelling and of course Eskom outages this winter.

    Anyone into CCTV here?

    HD PVR woes

    Man, my patience is being tested of late. My original HD PVR is acting up pretty often. So tonight we're watching one channel using the buffer, while recording another. Then this pops up: Frozen solid, have to reboot. Wooosaaaa.

    Is it just me or is this quote way too coincidental? It's the exact same amount!! Anyone have experience with a repaired TV? Is it an okay thing or am I bound to pick up problems down the line? Logic tells me if it's just another plug-in component, it'll be okay. I'm more worried about...

    Audiotronic say that my AVR cannot be repaired. Seems like I will be getting a shiny new NR-515. Woop! I took in the HD PVR to MC without properly diagnosing and wasted my time...all tested okay. So for some reason, an Apple TV works with picture and sound on HDMI_3 but the HD PVR has no sound...

    I've decided not to use Technodrive as I cannot find one reference; I also asked them for customer references and they ignored me. I'm therefore dealing with Faxsure who I have used before. At least they will test every input, calibrate the TV and run it through an 8 hour failure test. I'm kinda...

    I've been happy with Indwe from 2010-2013. If they change their colours now, I change insurers.

    I know there are a lot of respected members in the industry on this forum. Can anyone recommend Technodrive to repair my Samsung Plasma.

    I did more testing to know exactly what is wrong with the TV. HDMI ports 1 & 2 are dead but port # 3 works. If I did not have insurance I guess I could "live with it"...but since I do have, I'm flippen adding the TV to my claim. The replacement HD PVR has picture on port # 3 but no sound...so...
