This afternoon I got an SMS from my alarm system that the power was out. I got hold of a neighbour and ascertained that everyone else's power was on...just mine was out. Get home and reset the earth leakage...it trips. I managed to isolate the breaker to one of the lighting circuits. For good...

While this is random, I'm going out of my mind. Whenever I hear this song, I never get the name of the artist or all the lyrics. Hints: Sounds just like Pink Some of the lyrics: try, so much to lose, answer me, answer me Please help! 😔

I found a post on mybb where you recommended it in Aug 2012. Still happy? My Bull Shark is a bit tired after 5 years.

I tend to take on these pet projects every couple years, whether a wireless bridge between me and my neighbours, ultimate home wireless, etc etc. Now I want to do CCTV. I've got no plans for wireless cams, yet. Just an analog system with an Internet capable DVR. I've already got a Caddx Networx...

I've recently become sucked in to my home theatre system and really appreciating every aspect of it. While far from top of the line speakers that cost what second hand cars cost, my Polk RTi A7's are highly valued in my household. The cabinetry and overall design IMHO is remarkable...there was a...

Earlier this week I bought my first genny ... Honda EG6500CXS complete with electric start and digital auto voltage regulation. Stoked. :)) I am going to have it wired into the DB with a manual transfer switch. The usual peanut gallery is telling me not to connect TV and hi-fi circuits without...

Hey all, long time no see. I've lurked occasionally but hope to become more active again. Long story short, my original Pace HD PVR is completely wacked this time. I see a firmware update went down 5 days ago...my latest gen 2P HD PVR works fine as always but the old one is dead most...

I've now spent a week or so using my new HD PVR 2P as a secondard decoder in Xtraview mode.  For anyone interested, I think I can offer some pointers on the main differences between this new model and the original one.  Note both models are from PACE which I am happy about.  I thought the new...

Quite a pleasant experience besides the cable installations.  I was happy to have the opportunity to create better F-Connector terminations though.  On my new HD PVR 2P (2 tuner), I mixed up the two cables and was wondering what would happen...Multichoice advised I would get an error when trying...

I’m very happy to report back this morning on not one but two TV’s!  In the freezing cold I upgraded my own LNB to SATCR+ 2xLegacy and also a family member's standard LNB to SATCR.  Basically the D450 was purchase for family and the D490 for myself.  Since I had to get a new LNB my old SATCR one...

I am in the planning stages of this particular project. I've always been quite keen on the idea but it's never been a priority, especially since I have my dream system in the TV lounge (as per my profile). Recently we've made it a priority to give our main bedroom a facelift so the TV in the...

I have already read on the forums that a UPS is not ideal for "hi fi" use and one needs an Automatic Voltage Regulator or some such thing.  In Dec 2010 I picked up lightning damage but luckily to my PC equipment only, not the hi-fi. I've ordered a real nice line interactive UPS for the PC that...

Morning Gents My PS50B850 50" Plasma was collected by Samsung this morning and the representative mentioned that Samsung allow upgrades. So the question is this: if you could choose an upgrade WITHIN the Samsung product range that is better than the B850 Plasma, what would you choose and why...

About 2 months ago I purchased Polk Audio RTi A3 bookshelf speakers.  Not having space behind our recliners for some nice speaker stands, I mounted them directly on the wall.  Now they have a nice plate on the back that is super strong plus rubber stoppers at the bottom.  End result is that you...

My new QED Silver Anniversary-XT Bi-Wire speaker cables just arrived from xrapidx.  ;D For the sake of cable management, as they are longer than I really need, can I coil them neatly?  Or can this create inductance and unwanted effects?

I've been following xrapidx's thread here and while we have very similar equipment, he chose the Polk Audio FXi A6 surrounds and I chose the Polk Audio RTi A3 bookshelf. While I never approached a designer for help to spec my system and inspect my layout, I thought I chose a pretty decent...

I wanted to do a bit of digging on this topic since there's not much at all on the net.  Was using this stuff and now I'll be upgrading to the QED Silver Anniversary XT I bought off xrapidx.   How bad is the Jamo "AG" cable?  Can I continue to use it for my rear speakers? (Polk RTi A3)...

I did not want to spam the forums so quickly with another self serving topic but I'm getting a bit rattled about my problem.  Now that I've signed up here with like minded people, who have more experience, I'm hoping I can get a few tips. So here goes... Same time I got my new Series 8...

In March this year it came time to upgrade my HT equipment.  Not that I had bad equipment, it's just that 2 okes in a BMW decided to do some shopping at my place one Friday afternoon.  Never got to thank them as I've got better kit than ever now. :D I did a fair amount of research and tried to...
