    NAD T785 (non HD) or Arcam AVR-400

    I have a Denon 3400 sitting in the closet and using a NAD 785. Love the sound of the NAD and the fact that you can upgrade the cards. The price of those cards is however stupidly expensive , I doubt I'll ever be able to justify the expense.

    Home Affairs/Passport application

    Does one have to bank with that particular bank? I bank with Investec but the earliest appointment there is 2 months away. I might as well go join the queue at Home Affairs. Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk

    Please suggest drop shipper from US to South Africa

    I just brought in a package using myUS. Took 10 days from placing the order, being delivered to myUS then to my door. Aramex is is reliable but you must be willing to wait. Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk

    Britbox - any good?

    My understanding was that Amazon products did not support DSTV/Showmax, have things changed? Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk

    Maverick Android TV Box

    The MiBox does have a digital output, uses the mini toslink. Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk

    Amazon vs Takealot

    There are items that cannot be delivered to SA not because they just don't want to deliver to SA but are restricted due to license agreements. Those are the ones that go as far as  blocking the SA credit card. Even where one uses PayPal if it is linked to a SA card it rejects it. Sent from my...

    Streaming apps

    +1 for the Sonos app, very easy to use. Used Heos before that and the user interface was unfriendly. Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk

    Spotify HIFI

    I think it would be more like a R10 to R20 increase, which would still be lower than the US for example. Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk

    Very, Very Happy

    Got my FR100 and FC150 from Vaughn over 2 years ago, having gone to him to buy another brand. After a demo I was sold, and I'm absolutely happy with them. Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk

    Tidal app on Ematic 4k tv box

    The Ematic and Mi Box are essentially the same, with the Ematic having the benefit of the ethernet port. Both are Google certified android boxes. The Tidal App will work fine. Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk

    Is anybody else having problems with their DSTV Explora Model 2A?

    In the past selling decoders was a very big part of their profits. Unlike other subscription services where the unit is just to secure the subscription, their business model was to make profits out of the units as well. Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk

    Shipping from the US

    I have also used Aramex Global Shopper when sourcing from sellers who do not ship to SA. It's a good solution  just note it is not the quickest, so be patient. Also had no issues bringing in more than 3 shipments in a year. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    30% of content on streaming services in South Africa will now be South African

    Sounds like Multichoice incentivising politicians again to ensure they stay relevant in the streaming game. They are the ones commissioning most of the new local content, they are the ones who bought the SABC library for next to nothing. They are the ones responsible for the delay in digital TV...

    Ultimate Def tech room upgrades.

    Didn't know about turning the volume up 10% to 15% after the calibration. Will try that out on my setup. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Ultimate Def tech room upgrades.

    They look amazing and must sound even better the way you're described it. Just a question on the subwoofers, and bear in mind I'm a novice at this, if the AVR sets them at -12 does that not mean the subwoofer amp volume should be lowered? -12 is as far as the AVR can go maybe the true trim level...

    Owner's rights to material

    I see a lot of sales of Bluray disks  on the forum and wanted to understand what one can do with the material without infringing copyright laws. As the owner of the physical disk, I have the right to make a soft copy for my own use. Should I sell the physical disk can I keep the soft copy? Can...

    Streaming

    There is clearly an equipment fault somewhere along the line, try swopping out the router. Very unlikely that the fiber is oversubscribed, if you can check with others in the neighborhood to see if they are experiencing the same speeds. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
