    Sony TV & Soundbar - No sound via Digital Audio Out (Optical)?

    Quick update for those who are interested :) I tested the sound bar by connecting it directly to the TV, but instead of trying to get sound through one of the HDMI sources, I tried one of the built-in apps, as recommended by pepp77. The sound bar worked fine, so I think the issue I was facing...

    Sony TV & Soundbar - No sound via Digital Audio Out (Optical)?

    Thanks for taking the time to do some research - I actually stumbled across the same info earlier today too. Thanks again for replying - I'll watch something via the built in Netflix app, to see if it works, and will reply to let you all know the outcome.

    Sony TV & Soundbar - No sound via Digital Audio Out (Optical)?

    Thanks guys, I think one of the HDMI connections on the TV is ARC compatible, so I will experiment with that this evening!

    Sony TV & Soundbar - No sound via Digital Audio Out (Optical)?

    Thanks for getting back to me. I don't have another cable to try unfortunately, but the cable does seem to work as when I connect the soundbar to another device (Apple TV or YouView box), I can hear the sound output from the device. I'm not aware of any configuration options on the sound...

    Sony TV & Soundbar - No sound via Digital Audio Out (Optical)?

    Hi! Happy New Year! I'm not a regular poster in this sub-forum, but I'm hoping that the community can help me out. I recently purchased a Sony sound bar (HT-MT300) to go with my Sony TV (KD49X83), but I'm having some trouble setting it up, as I cannot hear sound from the TV through the sound...

    BTHomeHub 5 5Ghz wireless issues

    Thanks for the responses. I found that I had the issue last night again and confirmed this when I connected to the 2.4Ghz network from the same device and got good download and upload speeds. When I changed back to the 5Ghz network (again from the same device), the speeds were extremely slow...

    BTHomeHub 5 5Ghz wireless issues

    I originally had it turned on but in my investigations I used a utility on my MacBook to scan the area and find the least conjested channel for the 5Ghz network and chose that.

    BTHomeHub 5 5Ghz wireless issues

    Thanks for the responses. Its a real strange one - after a restart, its lightning fast e.g. The issue occurs sometime after the restart where any wireless client will suffer extremely slow speeds and the only way I can see to resolve it is to restart the hub. I'm determined to get...

    BTHomeHub 5 5Ghz wireless issues

    Hi folks. I have recently moved into a new apartment and discovered that BT Infinity 2 was available in my area so I purchased Infinity 2 unlimited, which is fantastic as I usually get around ~70mbit/s download and ~20 mbit/s upload. Now onto the issue with 5Ghz wireless. I discovered...

    Facebook iOS App Background Activity

    I still can't believe that Apple actually allow this! What is the point of having such a fine-grained selection process for allowing apps to run in the background if they are going to allow 'some background activity' to continue. Slightly frustrated with Apple. The whole point of the...

    Facebook iOS App Background Activity

    Glad to hear its not just me. I still don't understand how the app can actually perform background activities when its been explicitly set to not do so. I might ask a friend who has an Apple Developer subscription to see if we can perform any diagnostics to see if the device is doing anything...

    Facebook iOS App Background Activity

    I have recently noticed that my iPhone 5S (running the latest iOS version) has been eating through battery life at quite a pace. After a quick check in the Battery Usage section, I noticed that the Facebook app was the culprit and has a large percentage of use (over 30%) marked as Background...

    Satellite socket in flat - single feed with splitter

    I recently moved into a new apartment which had recently had the satellite infrastructure upgraded to allow 2 feeds into the Sky box with only a single feed from the wall socket. I was in contact with the people who did the upgrade and the company's technical manager responded with this (as...

    [PIC_THREAD] Macro

    I've just had a quick look through the photos - absolutely fantastic! I recently borrowed a 90mm f2.8 Macro lens for my D5100 and really enjoyed taking macro photos. Now that I had had to give the lens back to the owner, I am looking at getting my own. Could I ask, if people don't mind...

    Clearing down 'other' storage

    These instructions refer to iOS 6 but the relevant settings screens are almost identical in iOS 7 and should allow you see whats contributing to the 'Other' storage you see in iTunes. My guess is that the majority will be cached app data (covered in step 1 of the guide below)...

    Final Year Project - Help on Database Options

    Just throwing another option into the mix. You could try a asp.net c# with Visual Studio 2012 Express for Web and Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition 2012. Will allow you to learn something new and also get experience in a widely used platform used in industry.
