    Star sat

    Why not get OpenView (OVHD)? It is free (no monthly fees). Decoder is R299. And It uses the same dish as DStv. It has BBC news and LM radio

    Vitality Discovery benefits.

    As said before, the system needs to be worked to get anything worthwhile back. Using Vitality I saved 75% of my Kulula flights to Cape Town. Last year I saved 30% on my Emirates Flights. Then there is the discount on my Gym. We also get money back (avg R100) each month for healthy food.

    Yamaha NS-10

    I have a pair. Had them connected to a Dynaco ST70. I enjoyed the sound. Have not used them for probably 5 years! So cant really give any more comments. I saved them from the previous owner, and they need some love. Cabinet corners are all "banged and broken" and I think the caps on the...

    paint suggestions for new / slightly surface rusted palisade fencing

    The rust caused by one rain, will just be surface rust. My recommendation would be to clean of most of the rust by hand, before trying to use a rust converter. That rust wont be stubborn, so a good old wirebrush and some rags would do. Then I would use a etching / rust converter type primer...

    What do I need to stream Netflix to a non-smart TV?

    Using a MyGica 582 personally Because its Android based, I can watch Netflix and Showmax. I also use it for music, using the Deezer app. Being Android gives a lot of flexibility The standard remote is crap. I bought a R99 Logitech wireless mouse, and off you go. Very easy to use. The device...

    USING TWO SETS OF FLOOR STANDING SPEAKERS

    Why do we use multiple Subs. Inst it to smooth out the frequency graph. Why wouldnt you be able to do the same with another set of speakers. Yes the placement wont necessary be right next to each other. But in a room big enough, with the speakers equal distance from the listener (same radius)...
