    December 2017 issue

    Well my Awards issue has not arrived yet (are there supply issues?) and it is increasingly difficult to avoid finding out the winners before reading about it in my subscribed copy. Who does one contact to chase? Thanks for any advice.

    The Hobbit Pt1 £14.99

    f1only , apologies for tardiness in replying. Yes there are 4 discs, and I can't see any reference to a region on the packaging or the discs.

    Inception on Blu £13.99

    Got it from Morrisons at £9.99 too, the packaging doesn't state it is the triple pack which I wasn't expecting at the price. Watched it tonight as well; the picture was far better (sharper, superior colour rendition) on bluray than I remember at the cinema. And the soundtrack was exceptional...

    SkyHD - two TVs

    mattjax05: I would like my 2nd tv to receive a hdmi signal from the sky box, it's approx 5m from the box. It currently receives a coaxial signal from the rf2 out. Am I right in saying that the best way is to get a hdmi splitter and run a hdmi cable in addition to the rf2 (which has magic...

    Got a sky hd 1tb box for £149.00 and free self install.

    Read the WHFSV article on the 1TB box last weekend, and on cue my 4 year old Thompson HD box died on Monday. Several suggested methods to tease it out of standby failed, so two calls to Sky but no £149 offer on the table despite saying all the things recommended by this very timely thread...

    3D Inevitability ?

    I was still pretty sceptical when the rest of the family insisted we needed to go 3d back in September.The animated movies courtesy of the Panasonic deal (Coraline, Ice Age 3 ) were impressive but what else was there to watch? And could I ever get used to the glasses? But soon came Sky 3d...

    Calling all Panny VT20, V20, Owners

    I would agree entirely if it wasn't for the result.

    Calling all Panny VT20, V20, Owners

    Watching the England match on ITV HD the other day was the first football viewing on my new VT20, and the juddering of the ball each time the goalie kicked it upfield was quite alarming. Switching to the same channel via Sky HD made little difference. However once IFC was turned off the...

    HDMI Cables for 3D viewing

    Thanks for all the replies; seems there is a fair degree of opnion on the topic . For the moment I have plumped for the QED Reference (got a decent 'price match' from Richer Sounds) to connect to the Panny BDP. To clarify for some above re using the 2nd HDMI ouput on the Panny BDP, my P50VT20...

    HDMI Cables for 3D viewing

    Can anyone recommend a suitable (and half decent £50-£60) HDMI cable for hooking up a Panasonic DMP-DBT 300EG Bluray player to a 50VT20 TV. The majority of internet and in-store retailers seem as confused as I now am about appropriate cables (I used to have a handle on this until the...

    Sky HD remote

    Dave, Do you know if the existing silver HD remote is compatible with the new 1TB box? (and if you do , is it?) Thanks

    Blu-ray and DVD subtitles

    Thanks LittleLouie, I have been meaning to raise this as well . Through necessity we frequently use subtitles in our household - I would agree that given all the effort that goes into picture and sound, surely the subs could appear at a higher, less blocky resolution. They do seem crude, and...

    SKy 3D football - did anyone see it?

    daveh75: Theres some initial impressions on a couple of other forums, and from what i can gather, it was a good experience provided you managed to get a seat in the 'sweet spot' . Managed to get seat with a sweet spot when watching 'Up' last year, but only realised this at the end of the...
