    Is Saving Private Ryan a must for 4K Blu-ray?

    Another US WW2 film with no mention of the British or the Russians and a daft plot? No thanks.

    Is my DVD player multi-region or not?

    Region "All" are discs that the producer of the disc wishes to be playable in all players, so all players can play them. Your player cannot play region 1.

    Did anyone get any music or hifi for Christmas

    Had to buy them myself, but got Steve Hackett Spectral Mornings 2016 remaster, Deadpool 4k and Into Darkness 4k. Have not watched the films yet, but the Hackett includes an excellent 5:1 remaster by Steve Wilson.

    Blue Planet 2 in uhd on BBC iPlayer - stunning! Better than Planet Earth 2 in uhd

    The series was wonderful at normal broadcast quality, so I am really looking forward to it in 4k. I only have Planet Earth II on 4k disc at the moment and it is amazing with my new setup (Optoma UHD 65, Oppo 103, sapphire 106 inch screen).

    10m HDMI cable for 4k projector

    Hi All, The cable I got from Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01FXRN074/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 is working fine with the OPPO and Optoma. I only have Planet Earth 2 in 4k so far, but it is stunning. It did not work at first, but it turned out the installer did not...

    OPPO 203 owners

    Thanks again. I have an OPPO 83 which is still going strong and has been well supported with firmware upgrades. I need a new player to feed the Optoma uhd65 I am buying with 4k and since the OPPO is the only universal 4k player (which I need to play my SACDs and DVD-As ) it was the only real choice.

    OPPO 203 owners

    Thanks. The US Oppo site says it does, but it is not mentioned on the UK site, that is why I checked - not that I would pay the richer sounds price.

    OPPO 203 owners

    Richer sounds are trying to flog me an hdmi cable for the oppo 203, but it appears that it comes with a 2m cable. Can anybody confirm this please?

    10m HDMI cable for 4k projector

    This one at least has users who have tested it with 4:4:4, so I will give it a try. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultra-HDTV-Adaptors-Connectors-Ethernet-1-Pack/product-reviews/B01FXRN074/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewopt_fmt?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews&formatType=current_format&pageNumber=1

    10m HDMI cable for 4k projector

    I was not aware of that. 7.5m will probably be too short. Thanks for the suggestion, more thinking required

    10m HDMI cable for 4k projector

    Thanks big boss. Yes, it will be in the ceiling, so that's a good suggestion. As a supplementary question, how do you control your system? RS are suggesting some fancy Ethernet system that can also be used to transmit HDMI with converters, but it seems expensive (£1000) and I can cope with...

    10m HDMI cable for 4k projector

    Had a demo of the Optoma uhd65 today and decided to buy it. I am going to get Richer Sounds to do the install (subject to the quote being reasonable) but the salesman is trying to tell me that I need a £250 HDMI cable, which is of course ridiculous. I do not believe in magic cables, just need a...
