    Sony Playstation Network Local Call Centre Number

    Hi all, my son tried to change settings on his PSN account and managed to get the account locked out and now we cannot get into it, seems they now think someone tried to hack it. I have tried their contact form web page but this is giving his PSN ONLINE ID as being invalid. Anybody perhaps have...

    HDMI Splitter vs Switcher

    Yup it should do what you want, I am using a 1x2 hdmi splitter splitting from explora to tv in lounge and patio. Can watch both TV's at same time, however you are still watching the same channel, cannot watch different programs. Also you need to check your distance, heard that the further the...

    Explora - my 3rd one in 16 months just started with the issues

    Scar, reading between 70 and 77%, when monitoring seems to drop to 67% every now and then, but reading up on it seems to be acceptable? Leaning towards hard drive as pausing, rewinding, catchup and recordings all seem to be problematic, normal viewing seems to be fine at the moment. Agree on...

    Explora - my 3rd one in 16 months just started with the issues

    Sorry all, just venting a little bit, but what the heck!!! My 3rd Explora in 16 months started with its issues tonight, looks like the harddrive is done for, freezes and sputters when watching catchup and have to reboot it twice once it starts hanging before you get it back. Would LOVE to blame...

    HD Projector and 120" fixed frame screen

    Also have to agree with comments about going too big. Have a 120" screen seating about 3.5-4m from screen and on the edge of being too big imho. Some very busy action scenes start to feel like you are just not able to catch everything. Smitjj i am close to OR Tambo, if you are in thre area and...

    Mede8er 600x3d via avr

    Just to highlight this is only the youtube functionality, the rest displays perfectly. I can still run youtube through the browser on mede8er however this is VERY cumbersome and takes all the fun out of it to be honest.

    Mede8er 600x3d via avr

    Hi all. Having a issue accessing youtube on mede8er connected via hdmi to emotiva umc1 in turn connected to optoma hd20 projector. Mede8er states my display device is not supported. Suspect it is because i have the umc1 in between. Only solution i can see is to connect mede8er to hd20 directly...
