    Concern around SABC's lack of finalised funding

    Put it all behind a pay system, if you want it pay for it, they will soon see that the people who want it "can't" or wont pay for it and the rest just don't want it. It was always going to fail to make people pay for something they don't use. Decades ago people had no choice on what to watch...

This is open source, you basically just have to get the...

    LIFEPO4 Battery discussion thread

You can mix and match different BMS's and it controls charging etc. I bought an M5stack ESP32-S3, a M5stack...

    Eskom walks back threats against unregistered solar panel users in South Africa

    Wanted to ask has anybody been through this process with eThekwini Municipality, how was the process and what changes did they make (replace meters etc), any costs involved.

    What's your base load?

    I also used to do this with 2 different routers in the house and the phone would cling on (Star Trek) to the one unit even with 1 bar, so would have to force it to move to the other. it works okay if it drops the signal but not if it still can contact the router.

    What's your base load?

    I have currently a 14.3Kwh DIY battery, and have almost completed another 14.3Kwh battery so will have almost 23kwh of battery backup so even if I use 1 kwh I will last almost a day and could use more if desperate as this is down to 20% left.

    What's your base load?

    So it's 3 units to cover the property 2 in the house and 1 in the granny flat :oops:. All media players or TV's are cabled into the network, Xbox is cabled, as well. Also have a Mikrotik in the garage and a Google smart speaker in the garage to play music so need Wi-Fi in there as well.

    Eskom scraps solar registration requirements

    Okay, this is still as clear as mud. If you are an Ethekwini electricity customer do I still need to register my system? If so with whom and what do I need. Maybe MyBroadband can do a full article saying who needs to register with whom. When I first read these stories, it seemed like it was only...
