Alan Knott-Craig: Getting your mind around why it?s possible to be optimistic about SA https://www.biznews.com/undictated/2019/08/23/alan-knott-craig-optimistic-sa

Cheers.

Thanks - this is great as they stock Epson and BenQ.

My apologies - Johannesburg.

Thanks kamikazi, but thats also part of the challenge. Searching for Epson, most hits are from smaller online retailers. Who would you suggest for epson products?

Hi, After trying to decide on a HT projector based on reviews / forums, I've realized that I need to 'audition' a few before I can make a decision, as there are just too many options and opinions out there. Now the problem is trying to find retailers where I can audition a few of the popular...

Main use would be for movies after dark, as I cant control the ambient light during day. With the HD50, according to the ProjectorCentral tool it would produce 25FL at around 5m on a 100" screen, which is suitable for low ambient light. Back to the Optoma HD50, figured out that I can make it...

Hi community, Yet another what projector thread  :whistler: I need help in selecting a home theater  projector (1080p) that will work with my living room dimensions. Basically I can accommodate a 100" max pull down screen (else height of the screen becomes a problem). The ideal projector...

Ive got the same issue. The channel levels were set up with Audyssey, but I find the center channel to be too low. If I increase the general volume, the effects become too loud... Music DVDs seem fine though. I originally put it down to my center positioning - below the TV and thus below ear...

Im using it with a Huawei E1820, and work 100%.

Apologies if Im hijacking this thread, but can anyone recommend a decent priced 'long throw' full HD projector ? (either 3D or Non-3D, though my Onkyo 607 doesn't support HDMI 1.4) The ideal spot for a projector in my lounge would be the rear wall, which is 4.5m away from the screen. With a...

Heres an idea for a cheap, retro looking HTPC case: http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=529707 http://gizmodo.com/221596/the-vcr-media-center-pc Some modification work will be needed though  ;) Ive got an 80's VCR shell in storage, just waiting to be modded.

Im using XBMC live myself - havent really investigated the alternatives as Im pretty happy with XBMC. However you might find this thread useful: http://www.avforums.com/forums/home-entertainment-pcs/1572299-htpc-software-comparison.html

Hi, This is a work-around, though it does have its limitations : http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/236859-HD-PVR-2-P-single-lnb-installation

Thanks. Out of interest, have you tested the rebuild / recovery procedure ? I find FreeNAS quite straight forward, and already have it up and running - not too keen to change :-[

Thanks for the responses. So it seems like RAID housekeeping is consuming 11% of each HDD - seems like a lot to me  ??? Just wanted to make sure that this wasn't a configurable options.

Hi, Hoping someone can help clear this up. Ive setup FreeNAS with 2x 2TB in a RAID 1 config, however when I view the status page in FreeNAS, it shows the RAID mount with a total capacity of 1.6T only. Now I know that the manufacturer's definition of 2TB varies, and it is close to 1.8T is...

Expansys - see the link below the pic.

I have one of these, and am pretty happy with it. Easy to use, and the trackball and mouse buttons are easy to use in the seated position. The only thing that takes getting used to is the pgup / pgdn keys being double mapped and requiring a function key, but its easy to adapt...

So after careful consideration this weekend, Ive decided to go with a 2x RAID1 setup... this was prior to seeing LittleG's post. This is not efficient, but I dont have confidence in the stability (or 'recoverability') of RAID5 on FreeNAS. It also doesnt help that Im a FreeBSD noob either  ::)
