    BBC iPlayer and Dolby Digital surround on PC to Av-Amp...?

    I don't know if I can link the full post but this is part of a reply from the BBC to someone on AVForums about iplayer audio and video quality. With regards to 5.1 audio, we do not have any plans to add that functionality in the short term. This is still quite a niche set-up in homes and does...

    Surround speaker position with bay window

    Hi, A quick query on the positioning of surround speakers. The speakers are Monitor Audio Bronze FX. The layout is as shown. I appreciate that non of these is likely to be optimal but it is what it is. The main seating position will be the coach at the bay window with head just a few inches into...

    I sometime connect a drive to the usb port of my bt home hub 3. It appears as a folder under the hub in networks. Was able to stream video from it without a problem. On some bt hubs you need to connect to the ip address 192.168.1.254. Should be info on the web for doing it with your router.

    25 inch vs 29 inc superwide monitor

    Thanks for the replies. I do game but it's not the main use of the monitor. I've got a 7970 and I'm not sure if the additional pixels of a 1440 will just kill it really. I don't play online and don't mind frame rates in the mid 40's. I'm coming from a 22 1680x1050 so it looks like a slight...

    Just after any experience people have with 25 and 29 inch 2560x1080 monitors. Trying to decide between the lg 25um and 29um. I'm interested in how useable they are with 2/3 apps or pages open. Looking at a web page and visual studio utiling half the screen each, or 3 pages of a word doc. Is the...

    Good story character based open world games?

    Q Acoustics BT3 Bluetooth Active Speakers

    Not heard them either. Do you have a richer sounds anywhere near you, they sell them and should let you have a listen.

    BT TV

    My mistake. It was originally available via aerial, but it looks like they've removed that option for new customers last year. I would imagine that even for customers who could still get it via aerial that it dissapear eventually.

    BT TV

    BT sport is through a standard aerial. You need to take either a standard broadband or an infinity connection though. As far as I am aware champions league is moving to BT next season, don't know if it's all games or just some.
