Vivid 350, it provisions at 402 though!

Hai.

Yes. I use a mikrotik hex router and a separate AP, means I was able to get an amazing router and decent wifi with no compromises.

This is what I'm currently rocking with a Schiit pre-amp.

Being honest (and not trying to sound like a c**t but totally sounding like one anyway! lol) you're going to struggle to get anything that doesn't sound completely s**t with that budget and "vintage looking" constraints. Buy the crosley and get yourself some earplugs!

Have you got a proxy configured?

I dumped the virgin tv (TiVo - yep, quite possibly the worst thing ever, I had it right from the start). got sky q, box set package, all sports in ultrahd, all movie channels, 2tb main box and a mini box for our bedroom. £47 a month for the 18 month life of the contract. Upfront cost of 15...

My 15" TB is considerably lighter than the 13" 2010 MBP it replaced!

I think I paid about £420 each for the Playbar and Sub (including delivery and exchange rate) direct from Amazon Spain & Italy! That's a serious discount now compared to their current prices!

Ahh, that probably helps quite a bit! TBH, mine is in our bedroom and it's not in an ideal location. Yep, the playbar is ace. I know it's expensive and there probably are a whole load of other systems that are a bucket load cheaper and daresay some of them better, but I just love how the Sonos...

You got the newer 5? I've never been majorly impressed with the old 5 (I got it cheap direct from Amazon Spain when the euro was at a fantastic rate and they had a stupid discount on), that might be because of the narrower sound stage compared to two Play:1's. But yeah, it gets a bit...

Yep! Cancelled Virgin TV as I really couldn't cope the the Tivo anymore, have a friend who works for sky and they were giving me the code but being rather slow about it, so just tried online chat... "thinking of leaving virgin...friend can get me the friends and family discount...you're also...

The Play:1 is an absoulte blinding speaker, it really does sound very good - fantastic bass, I personally think it's way better than the original Play:5 that I have. Not had any issues with it with volume. Started with a single Play:1 as a test....and ended up with Playbar Sub Play:1 x2...

Homekit seems completely pointless to me. Buy iConnectHue and control the lights with that.

Well the Superhub 3 has arrived, so far it hasn't crashed in modem mode, that's a plus point. But "the PUMA6 bug" is terrible and it would seem that Intel & Arris cannot fix it. Check out the jitter on ping! 64 bytes from 62.252.115.153: icmp_seq=0 ttl=58 time=15.200 ms 64 bytes from...

There's little point in them doing that anyway as their CMTS units can detect incorrect (hacked) configs and cloned macs (this was an issue way back when they switched to docsis 3). You should just be able to phone up, give them the MAC address (as you do anyway when you get a replacement) and...

My 2ac is crashing all the time in modem mode, I'm loathed to "upgrade" to the 3 because of the puma 6 chipset bug (latency + packet loss). why can't they just let us use whatever cable modem we f**king want instead of hawking the bug riddled s**t they have approved onto us.

Haha, glad it worked for you in the end!

I'd probably hazard a guess that he convertor is being fed a non lpcm signal over the spdif (I.e Dolby digital, dts ) and that the box can't decode it. Does the tv not have some other analog outputs as they would be the best way to feed it and you also won't get sync issues then either?

@jam. And????!!

I had a fault that manifested like that, it was on a late 2010 one, was the drive cable - known fault on my model, replaced it and it fixed the issue. Worth checking out if your model has the same fault.

What year MBP?

As in iTunes Store movie purchases? yeah, they're protected with DRM.

You can use the scrub control on the touchbar when playing YouTube videos to skip past adverts! [emoji3]

Got Sonos playbar, play:5 (the older version), Sonos sub, Sonos connect and 2 play:1 speakers. the play:1 speakers are brilliant, really great sound and plenty of bass, prefer them to the play:5 which we have in the bedroom. The playbar, sub, and 1's are connected as a surround system in the...

Nope. If you searched around the web you could find the unidays store link.....

I also went for 256. My current MBP has OS X and the apps installed on a 128GB SSD and I still have 40GB free on that. I do have a second drive in it which houses my home folder, but that basically consists of a couple of VM images for work (one is windows which is 500GB and the other is about...

US keyboard will have to be bought online as it's not a stock config the UK stores will have (they do have a few different configs). Mine is with a US keyboard as a UK mac keyboard is horrific for a programmer.

No, you get 2 years added onto the included first year.

Mines currently near the border of China & Mongolia, lands in amsterdam tomorrow morning at 4am.
