    TCL TVs

    Same question. Missed out on the c755 clearance promotion and now it is out of stock everywhere. Struggling to get an answer on when the c7k will be available. Don't really want to go the Hisense route, but with no date for availability, i can't just wait forever for the TCL to become avaialable.

    New AVR/TV advice

    Can anyone tell me what the HDMI output of the Explora Ultra is? Is it 4k30 or 4k60? I'm trying to dial in the EDID configuration of the new HDBaseT extenders that finally arrived this week.

    New AVR/TV advice

    Right. So the soundbar will be a WAF upgrade, but an audio downgrade. Makes sense, 22 little 5w speakers will never move as much air as 50w into the 6.5" drivers of the fronts & dual 6.5" centre. Man, a soundbar install would have been so much easier than rectifying the current cable hell of...

    New AVR/TV advice

    Thanks guys. It looks like I'll be visiting the showroom (always a nice experience), so maybe I will give the guys a chance to upsell us to the Marantz Cinema 60 for the Sitting room. If I do that, then I'm thinking we should replace the Marantz NR1508 in the Living Room at the same time. If...

    Well, he said I can return for a refund if they are not there, so I guess I'll take a shot.

    Right, the guy at the store just told me it DOES have pre-outs for FR/LR. I'll probably have to drive out there. Less of a mission than returning the thing if he's wrong.

    Ah, that's not good. It looks like the X2800H only has pre-outs for Zone 2, so that won't work either. The next in the series kinda stretches the budget at double the price. Looks like I'll have to replan on that one.

    New AVR/TV advice

    Hey, So, long ramble, I'm starting a new project, and I thought it couldn't hurt to get some "expert" advice. In a nutshell, Dad's living room setup has outlived its projected lifespan and is now in dire need of an upgrade. The current setup is a 63" Plasma circa 2010, with an RX-V663 AVR...

    SMS "Failed to send"

    I don't care so much about the banks & etc, but one of the services I'm having issues with is a healthcare patient support program. So, yes I can do workarounds and phone support instead. But I am curious as to whether this is a known issue on Telkom mobile and it would be convenient if there...

    SMS "Failed to send"

    I've recently noticed that whenever I try to send an sms response to one of those automated systems used by banks and insurers and the like, I get a "Failed to send" error on my Galaxy Note. I checked my message centre number and sent an sms to a friend on Vodacom, and that works fine. Its...

    New Laptop for Student

    So, my niece is starting at Stellenbosch Uni this year, and as the IT family guy i've been asked to source a lappy. I've browsed for a few hours now, and checked out all usual suspects, but i'm struggling a bit to find what i'm looking for. When did laptops get so expensive? Anyway, I'm...
