    Disney Plus glitchy experience

    Yes I get 4K and HDR. Chromecast running through a Denon AVR-X2700H and the input details show HDR10. No idea about Dolby Vision support with my setup as I have a Samsung UA58R7100K which doesn't support DV. There are no "labels" that show 4K/UHD/HDR etc. as listed under help and support.

    Disney Plus glitchy experience

    I use Disney+ on a Chromecast with Google TV and Atmos is non-existent. I only get DD+. Netflix sends me Atmos on the same device. I tried the online chat and the rep told me outright that Atmos is not supported in South Africa. I exclaimed and he then said I should look out for all the new...

    Starting out with Sonoff

    I may end up looking at this too. I have an electrician who will be coming by to sort a light and a switch out because the live is stuffed and a previous sparky ran some rubbish out of the plug to bypass the whole lot. But then there was a time when other electrical issues were causing an earth...

    Starting out with Sonoff

    I could use HA as well and it will use my Growatt Wi-Fi dongle, but as far as I can tell, anything that comes from the Wi-Fi dongle is not instant and is only polled every 5 minutes, maybe I can change this for one specific function? No idea yet, it's early days so I'm still looking at my...

    Starting out with Sonoff

    I've been reading this thread with much interest and have learned a lot. Using a Sonoff mini in the light itself so I can continue to use my existing light switches is definitely the next project (my flat also has no neutrals at the switch). What I'm trying to get going for now though is this...

    MiPhones.co.za

    I'm still in the middle of a terrible experience from Miphones. I realise the globe and China are Corona-crazy right now but I have never experienced such horrible service from any company in my life. Getting information out of them is nigh impossible and when you do get a reply it is only half...

    Xiaomi Mi Box / Mi Box S [Android TV OS]

    It's a problem specifically with with DD+. I have a Yamaha RX-V567 and on the first version of Android that my Mibox came with (Android 6) there was no problem. All the issues started with Oreo and they still haven't fixed it at all. The CoreELEC team have apparently solved the issue which lies...

    Boxee iPad app

    I found Boxee to be the only app (I tried probably 5 others) for streaming video that plays the video smoothly on my iPad. Everything else I tried was very jerky and juddery. Boxee is great! And it's free. Homesharing works beautifully for streaming music.

    The iPad2 tips and tricks thread

    Just had a look on Wiki about USB and apparently with the right software a USB port can be told to concentrate up to 1.5A for charging devices and it mentioned something about all the way up to 1.8A as well. Data transfer is disabled when your PC is melting the cable with that current though.
