    I.S.S.

    I use an Android app called ISS Detector. Shows you where and when to see the ISS, Iridium flares and the planets. Works pretty well.

    50- 60" TV vs Projector

    I have a 60" TV, and if I could afford one of the good Optoma or Epson projectors I would change immediately. That said, you need a fair bit of space for a screen large enough to make the change worthwhile.

    It is according to the Marantz website.

    Recommendation for an AVR

    Excuse the shameless plug, but maybe my Marantz SR6008 would be an option? Not sure if it would meet all your requirements, but certainly more powerful and modern than what you have. Rated at 110 watts into 8 ohms for each of the 7 channels, with 7 HDMI Inputs; 2 HDMI Outputs; 1080p Upconversion...

    Telkom-to-VOIP, any advice?

    I put in Vox FTTH and that comes with their VOIP service via the App previously mentioned. Works well, using either your wifi or phone data. They also offer to port your Telkom number, so all your home phone calls would automatically come through to your cell via VOIP. Planning to do that next...

    Sport streaming services?

    This one call itself "IPTVLifetime". I have been checking through the abundance of sporting channels, and I think you would probably find most of the European and US stuff. Unlikely to find SA sport, unless it happens to be an international game.

    Sport streaming services?

    Just to update, I subscribed to an IPTV service for a once off payment of EUR 99 for a lifetime connection. Gives me access to UK, US, Portuguese, Spanish, German, French, Dutch and Italian channels (and a pile of countries I have no interest in). News, TV stations, VOD movies and .......HD...

    Sport streaming services?

    Thanks for the info. I had a look at their website and it has to be one of the least informative sites around. Just names of packages and what they charge, but no details of what is included in their packages. Had to search for a review on a Kodi forum to get details. Apparently a very good...

    Sport streaming services?

    I have finally decided to get rid of my DSTV. Can any of you advise me on which sports streaming services are good for live events? I have found some, but the quality of the transmission is usually poor. I am mainly looking for European soccer and motor sport.

    PC Link Computers

    Bought from them before. Picked up the order from their outlet near Gordon Road (private home). All good. No problems and competitive prices.

    MARANTZ AV vs SR RANGE

    It is the other way around. I have an SR6008 and it has the amp built in. Same with the thinner NR series. The AV require an external amp.

    Standmount Fest, Ming-Da, Perreaux VA product release [12 Nov 2016]

    :Whoohoo: Count me in. I have a pair of Polk FXiA6's I could bring - more surround than pure bookshelf, but might be interesting? Please someone bring a pair of Dali Ikon 2's.

    Noise cancellation help

    I bought a set of Bose QC25's recently and have found them to be excellent. Comfortable, great sound and very effective at even cutting out the noise of small propeller driven planes.

    Win10 boot disc

    If this were to be a normal home PC, I would also be heading to Linux by now. Worked fine on my HTPC. But as my office PC I have to work with various programs not supported by Linux. Maybe there would be a way, but I don't have the time to relearn everything. Anyway, sorted out now. Had to...

    Win10 boot disc

    I knew this was going too well. Installed Win10 without problems, installed various other programs, restarted and suddenly the hard drive was no longer detected. The system fails to find the operating system. Googling it showed that this is a common problem. Tried various documented fixes, but...
