    ** The official Apple TV 4K thread (the 2021 model has a new remote and everything!) **

    Hmm, Skull Island not working for me. I purchased from Happy Watching and redeemed directly with MA. Shows 4K DV before playing then HD when pressing down during playback. Other movies purchased via iTunes codes working fine in 4K. Not too fussed but there are definitely some exceptions to the...

    Virgin Superhub slow wifi speeds

    1. Wasn't such an issue on 30mbps but maybe I can wangle a 2 out of them?

    Virgin Superhub slow wifi speeds

    Ah, me too. Just upgraded to 100MB and still limited by 20mbps on WiFi (106Mbps on LAN). Sorry to jump on your thread, but trying to avoid contacting VM!

    *** Official Kodi (née XBMC) Thread ***

    From memory, bring up context menu on music folder and scan to library. Then turn on library mode on sidebar on left? As a sidenote, I've just deleted all my thumbnails for movies and tv shows as part of a purge. Not sure how to get them all to rescan again - clean library?

    Picked up a Roku 3

    Definitely - I only have a 32 inch TV so not too big a deal. Ran some side by side tests switching between the Roku and Apple TV on Now TV and Netflix and there was slightly less blockiness. XBMC on the Roku 3 would be great.

    Picked up a Roku 3

    I tried the Roku 3 but went back to a jailbroken apple tv 2. XBMC is just so good and works really well with my basic Synology NAS, plus being able to switch to the native apple iOS when needed is useful. Didn't like the Plex app on the Roku, but 1080p Netflix was nice.

    WWDC XIII Event. Tonight 6pm

    Running on my iPhone 5 (black). I wouldn't say it's choppy - just the transitions are a little too slow and laborious. Doesn't feel snappy. Looks nice though - will no doubt have a play today.

    Streaming content from NAS to Apple TV - possible?

    Think he should jailbreak and install xbmc. Instant access to NAS library of movies and music. Also, if he has iTunes Match he can access his entire library in the cloud using the native ATV software.

    ****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

    Yes, approx 60% battery drain over night - battery stats show it's maps and google+ so have disabled gps for now. Couple of freezes solved by removing battery. Other than that fine, but significantly more battery drain than before. I've really noticed the difference and surprised no one else has?

    Ukulele- Anyone play?

    Cool, fun instrument to play. You could do worse than change the strings to Aquila ones when it arrives, will sound better. You Tube for ukulele mike as he has many lessons using simple chords and strumming. A good thing to learn is the 'chuck' - hitting the strings rhythmically to get a...

    ****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

    Thanks - I had another go at JB but that one didn't seem to work. May experiment with some other custom roms and see how I get on. At least I can get back to a working phone and breathe again! Thanks for getting back so quickly.. Ok I am back to the CPW stock rom. It works but my USB storage...

    ****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

    Ok, I may have semi-bricked my phone flashing it with this JB leak (I know slap on the wrist for not reading up properly!). I think Odin ended up hanging during the process so I had to reboot the phone - ended up with the phone/laptop icon and could only get into download mode. I can use Odin...

    ** The Official WWDC 2012 Thread **

    Slightly off topic but thinking of buying a cheaper, older Macbook pro soon and upgrading the drive to SSD. Good idea?

    Firefox and twitter

    Weird - just started using the browser and on Twitter I get the message 'Loading Tweets seems to be taking a while.' I can only see the latest 10 or so tweets rather than scrolling down as I would normally and seeing the older ones loading. Works fine in Chrome so guessing this is a Firefox...

    Video crashing in chrome

    Nope, I suppose (shudder) I could use IE. It's one of those intermittent things and fairly sure it's something to do with video. I'll try re-installing chrome too.

    Video crashing in chrome

    No, that's it. It's an old Lenovo thinkpad so think my graphics updates come from windows (all updates applied). Not likely to be a recent GPU driver for this model. I did read something about hardware acceleration - maybe my laptop can't cope?

    Video crashing in chrome

    Periodically when I watch youtube or other video in Google Chrome I get a crash. I can still hear audio but everything else freezes. No way to go into task manager and end chrome - the only option is a complete shutdown. It keeps happening and is driving me crazy! Particularly as I was just...
