I just wanted to wrap this up but also thank everybody for their inputs. Big Boss - Thanks for the link to Samsung and sorry if I did not make my original post clear but Samsung was not the issue and, indeed, I have not yet found a video file that my Samsung UE46F8000 would not play, including...

Is anybody there? Sorry to bump but if I am to buy a new player, I really want to do it next week. Cheers.

I use my Sony BDP-S790 Blu Ray player primarily to view video (AVI, MP4 & MKV) files from an external USB HDD but am getting increasingly frustrated by its inability to play the MKV files properly. If I just press the play button, everything works as advertised but as soon as I try to either...

We have had an Alphason Ambri 1100-BLK for about 4 years without any problems other than it being a dust magnet! IMHO, it looks good and, according to the website (http://www.alphasondesigns.com/tv-units/alphason-design-first/ambri/abrd-1100-blk-television-stand-in-black.htm), can handle a load...

I turned on my 9 month old TV last night to find that it was not showing any Freesat channels. At first, I thought 'oh well' and tried to do a retune but the TV did not seem to find any satellite signal from the dish. I then tried a complete factory reset with the same result - ie no signal...

Just returned from three weeks out of the country, went to have a quick sweep over what I might have missed on the WHF site during that time and found this steaming pile on my screen. I might check back every now and again to see if things have improved but, otherwise, I am afraid that it's...

I've had the 1604 for a while and think it's great. Sounds very good and the physical size means that it looks a hell of a lot better than the usual hulking great AVRs - it will fit almost anywhere and still have breathing space. Personally, I haven't missed wifi as I have got it plugged into...

Riksta 73 said "I have a 1504 which is connected to Pioneer A50, my set up is stereo". Perhaps I am missing something significant here (which wouldn't be the first time), but the question I have to ask is - why?

All I can say is I would not hestitate to recommend the NR1604 as an AV Receiver but really don't know how it would perform with your current speakers. As you can see from the sig, I use mine with 4 x Mordaunt Short 902s (the old, larger, style) and don't have any complaints.in either stereo or...

Plus one on the Nakamichi plugs.

It's about time that the WHF team put some sort of filter on the forum that automatically bans any posts that talk about cable quality.

Don't know about the 55" version of the Samsung or the Sony but I can tell you that I have got the 46" F8000 and it's fantastic.

Unlike some on the site, I would not presume to say that others were either right or wrong about their views on the merits of cheap -v- expensive HDMI cables. All I will say is that I have made direct comparisons with a That Cable 'budget' HDMI cable (£5), a QED (£25), a Chord (£40) and an...

Here's another vote for the BBC in general and continuing with the license fee in particular. Others might not agree but my opinion is that 5 Live with it's news and sport coverage is worth the fee alone.

I have just noticed that there is a 'white dot' on the screen of my nearly new (under three months) TV. It's probably too small to get a meaningful photo but is about 5" in and 1" up from the bottom left hand corner of the panel. As I say, I have just noticed it but it might well have been...
