My beloved Harmony remote has died, guys here were using another setup, a flirc.
They are on sale at the Takealot for R450.
How do they work? Is it worth getting to replace the Harmony?

The Harmony is a universal remote and the Flirc is a infrared receiver.

Quick question. What the going rate from an N40L microservers. Have one laying around after upgrading last month and rather pass it on.

4GB Ram and standard 250GB drive in ( Took my media drives out.)
Have a new silent Palit Geforce GT 730 1GB SDDR3 64bit Graphics Card in.

You guys think R1600 a fair price ?

Hi I have a question regarding video playback performance. I have an N40L and recently bought a 55inch 4K TV. I'm currently using an AMD Radeon 6570 video card. I find that I do have spotty performance playing back higher definition content (big MKV files for instance). Sometimes get stuttering. I'm wondering whether upgrading the video card might improve playback of video content in any way and if yes - which card to buy. I've played with the settings in XBMC as well as the TV itself - disabling any kind of audio or other processing that could be adding to the stutter. If there's a way of just improving things by upgrading i'd like to do that. Thanks!

I've got a brand new Gen8 still in the box and under warranty (bought a few, this is a spare).

PM me if you're interested, maybe we can work something out.

Are there any low profile graphic cards that would play HVEC/H265 content with HW decoding?

Not on a MicroServer. You are going to need a more powerful processor to handle that (besides the GPU).
