I run a Cuberevo HD with 500Gb h/disk, DVB-S2 and a DVB-T card in it. The dish is on a rotor so we're not limited to just one bird. Hasn't given any problems and means between freeview/freesat have the combined UK channel lineup and the rotor means can still get alternatives when not using the...

I wish I could agree with you, but with the retards on the roads round here it's certainly not the case on my drive from the coast to the A1 and back each day. People are still driving a couple of inches from the car infront, deciding they want the slip road at the last minute. The fields on the...

My wife thinks everyone living here is crazy not using winter tyres as it is normal practice in Moscow. :) This is the first year in about 7 yrs I've had to try driving a fwd car. I'm stuck with an i10 from the repair shop after someone reversed into my car in a car park. It doesn't have enough...

If you TV supports BraviaSync, then connecting the TV and Surround system via HDMI and enabling BraviaSync on both the TV and Sound System should work. If BraviaSync isn't supported then it's stereo out from the TV to the Stereo input on the sound system. Whether the sound system will then...

For the web interface try user: relook pass: relook Not 100% sure if that's the default, it's been so long since I ran a manufacturer image on it.

What is real full hd? Pixel count and FPS are certainly part of it, but I'm not aware it has a minimum bit-rate in the specification. Nothing special about it, just depends what compression ratio was used at source. It has Youtube and lovefilm clients (links?) built in. It's no problem...

There is more info here _http://www.videoweb.de/ Retail price is 299 Euro and seems to be focused to ARD and ZDF. It appears from the website to by a consumer style solution. Buy, plug-in, switch on and auto configure. After that it magically keeps upto date. Similar I guess to the UK...

Personally I don't like the Enigma 2 image. Have tried it a few times from a couple of teams, but it hasn't been stable enough with frequent green screen crashes so is no good for the wife and son. I also always found it slow. I do like the VDR image, but unless I can pursuade it to work with...

Haha, you don't know my wife. She watches all sorts of ancient stuff as well as new stuff as it is.

I have a Denon 1910 which is a 7.1 receiver. It allows for 2 of the surround speaker outputs to be used as a Zone 2 L+R pair, which then leaves 5.1 for Zone 1. I'm sure similar receivers from Onkyo, Pioneer, Yamaha will do the same. Whether it's worth the investment is another matter. Expect...

Should please the wife if it lasts and isn't just a test.

Could do with a little more info. Does he already have a receiver? What's he trying to do with 8 speakers as there is no commonly used 8 speaker surround system 5.1,6.1,7.1,9.1,10/12.2 are the more common although there is now 22.2 to go with ultra hd Some 7.1 and higher receivers have the...

Maybe some poor guys wife found her hubbies gadget stash and disposed of it.. :D "what do you mean we need another sat receiver?!?!"

Yep, the PQ on HD programs is better than the SD versions (although some of the SD scales incredibly well with my Cuberevo), but still not as detailed or wow as the Platforma HD channels we watch.

Hehe, brings a whole new outlook on why they call them tramp stamps...
