I use Chrome. http://www.filepuma.com/download/google_chrome_32bit_49.0.2623.112-11045/ XP is great and lightweight for non-connected applications as it is stable and runs on old tin - I use it to power and arcade machine I built using MAME.

Hi all Is there a recommended installer on the forum that I can use ? I have OVHD for over a year and now I don't have a signal - called the call centre and they verified decoder is fine and said "due to storms, the dish could have moved and hence I don't have a signal" I need an installer...

What firewall would you suggest ?

Hi all I used to have an HD PVR and an SD PVR connected together with XtraView. I replaced both with Exploras i.e. I now have 2 Exploras which I have connected up. 4 cables input into Switch 1 with unicable A going to Explora1. Outputs 1 and 2 going to Switch2 with unicable B going to Explora2...

@naughty Good summary. I have a microserver in my HT room and the Pi2 in the kitchen and kids room all running openELEC. Thing is that I want superior quality and upgradability only in my HT room and streaming ability everywhere else. Kids are happy with HDMI on the 1.3 spec so it is fine. At...

Simplest solution is: Raspberry Pi 2 (now has enough processing power for HD) + wifi dongle  + Openelec image for XBMC Full solution under R1000

What a great service: Dropped off my 2 tapes with Tom on Monday and picked them this morning. Converted to DVD with professional  covers and  boxes made to look like the original tape box. Even fixed some of the volume issues that were on the tape. Extremely satisfied and highly recommended !! ...

Small form factor PC (like hp microserver) + openElec Openelec is a bare bones operating system that only runs a distribution of XBMC. I previously had Windows but the patching through Windows Update is almost daily and over time it just slows the entire machine down.

I have one large window in my Home Theatre room and it gets the full brunt of the morning sun which makes the room very hot for most of the day. Currently I have wooden blinds but need to cover them with either a normal material curtain or maybe a specialised noise reduction curtain that will...

+1 Thanks for sharing - will give it a bash

This is a sales move - instead of paying the once off cosgt for the SDPVR and enjoying 2 viewing environments they want you to: 1) buy additional decoder (CAPEX) 2) use XtraView (at a monthly charge) (OPEX) This increases their sales and revenue on a monthly basis - its bullshit !! Time to try...

Haven't used eBay - does the seller courier or post or can you choose ?

Thanks - sent them a request for quote.

Hi There are a number of local sites that seem to sell projector lamps - can anybody recommend a reputable site/person that I can buy a replacement lamp for my Sony VPL-HW30ES ?

Saga over !! Got the decoder and installation complete - working well. Only word of advice - when requesting installation DON'T use ellies website - call them - the web request goes into a black hole never to resurface. I called them and they organised installation the same day !

Completely frustrated this AM with OVHD :headbanger: Went to 2 Makros and then stopped at Ellies in JHB - nobody has the decoder with the installation voucher - not even Ellies. They redirected me to OK Furnitures.  :walled: What a waste of a morning - how do they expect to push their product...

Anybody using OVHD ? Any good installers that you can recommend ?
