^ This. USB stick recording doesn't even have the flexibility offered by VHS/Betamax in the analogue era. It's a nice idea, but very poorly implemented.

Where you should start is with speakers. You're asking for something that can produce a wide sweet spot. There's one brand that comes to mind instantly for that, and it is KEF. They put the tweeter in the centre of the mid/bass driver. It's a position that doesn't contribute much to the bass...

It's a DVB-S2 receiver, so yes, it should pick up the HD channels.

^ This. You'll need a HD-capable receiver.

Regarding the idea of a single remote control that works both the TV and a Sat box. Yes, that's possible. Your Logik TV should have something called HDMI CEC (HDMI control). Does your Grundig Freesat box connect to the TV via HDMI? If so, switching on HDMI control for both the box and the TV...

Thanks for the pictures. Is it the camera making the faces look so magenta (purple), or is your TV picture really like that? If so, the green LEDs have gone in the backlight. Given that the TV is by Bush, the overlay issue, nd potentially a backlight problem as well, I'd say it's time to get a...

Have a look at your TVs settings for sharpness, contrast enhancement, colour enhancement, dynamic contrast, and whether you have the main picture mode set to Dynamic. It reads like your TV is picking up on the high MPEG compression used on Netflix streaming and on certain shots the TVs...

Wi-Fi repeaters (range extenders) do indeed improve the coverage of Wi-Fi. What is less well known is that there's a speed penalty when running the range extender in Wi-Fi mode. Catching the router's Wi-Fi signal the rebroadcasting it has a speed penalty. It halves whatever Wi-Fi connection...

Told ya. Good result.

I think you've answered your own question, though you've reached a different conclusion to me. You have the figures for the £££'s cost saving. It's then a personal choice about the convenience/inconvenience of using delay start. FWIW, I use delay start on the washer. I can come home in the...

The way capacitors fail is generally a gradual decline unless they get zapped with a big voltage. This expansion is due to the liquid or gel in the 'jam roll' formed by the charge plates drying out. As this happens over time, the charging/discharging process creates heat, and this accelerates...

I don't believe that's what's important here. If one device has a 2V output and the other a 3V output, then so long as the amp doesn't clip with a 3V (peak) source signal then it's all good. You're only going to be able to find this out though with trial error. What I think this all comes back...

I've filtered down to just the essential info. What this is telling us is that if the amp receives a 200 mV signal, and you turn up the volume to 10 (not 11, like Spinal Tap :LOL: ), then the amp will deliver its rated power output in whichever way they've specified it. A signal that's larger...

This Labgear 12v 300mA screened power supply for £12 from Amazon should cover most requirements.

^ This. Oh so many times, this. LOL

Do you have the amp manual or access to am online version? If so, what does it give as the input sensitivity?

You're welcome. Feel free to hit the Thanks button on any of the posts that helped you from any of the forum members. It's a nice bit of kudos. I can't say about the Bluetooth version of the DAC. The one that was tested from the earlier link is this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MRII0D1 and...

Okay, so there's no DC offset then, or at least it's lower than the resistance during measurement or tool low for the meter's measurement range. That's good news. Where is the DAC getting its power from? It needs 5V which is standard for a USB connection, and it doesn't consume that much...

Some of the cheaper DACs have a DC voltage (an offset) on the ground shields from the RCA outs. This should be 0 Volts, but if they haven't used isolating capacitors in the circuit design then a voltage on here can cause problems for the amplifier or powered speakers the DAC is being used with...
