    Which HDD drive to record on my TV?

    Hi I have been trying to record TV from my Samsung UE46D6530 to my WD TV Media hub but apparently because it is 1TB the TV will not recognise it (500mb max apparently). My question is this, does anyone know a good 500mb alternative?

    Is a soundbar my only option?

    Edit: As you already have a surround sound amp, you could opt for 3.1 ie just have two main speakers plus a centre and sub-woofer Would this arrangement sound better?

    Question on the ratings

    I agree but I jsut thought a larger spread of ratings would be more helpful for novices like me!

    Question on the ratings

    Question on the ratings

    Hi I have been reading the mag for ages but it strikes me that almost everything gets 3,4 or 5 stars. This doesn't really give a huge spread and makes everything seem the same, so I was wondering if it would be better to make more use of the 1 and 2 stars or maybe make it out of 10 or maybe...

    Is a soundbar my only option?

    Advice on the MONITOR AUDIO RADIUS R270HD AV12 or maybe the BX2?

    I really wanted to go for the 270's but even they are still too big apparently so I have had to compromise on the R90HD10 package which I thought sounded ok enough!

    Adding two speakers to a 5.1 system, worth it?

    Hi I currently run my TV, DVD and PS3 through a Onkyo 609 through two B&W 601's only. However I have just purchased an entry level surround package (the MONITOR AUDIO RADIUS R90HD10) and was wondering if keeping my two current speakers is worth it, maybe making it a 7.1 deal? I could make the...

    Advice on the MONITOR AUDIO RADIUS R270HD AV12 or maybe the BX2?

    Hi the old ball and chain has vetoed my idea of a large home cinema system, so I need a smaller / slimline one. Does anyone know if the radius R270 is good? Or maybe the BX2 as I could prob sway these but I think this is as large as I can go. Can I assume that larger systems wipe the floor with...

    Will a center speaker make a difference?

    Ok thanks will do. Would the 6 series centre be a good addition anyway?

    Will a center speaker make a difference?

    Hi I havent changed the TV sound setting so it will be still in the default mode (not sure what that is!!). I haven't noticed any real difference between channels though.

    Will a center speaker make a difference?

    Hi Yes the 609 is set up in stereo without the centre, but still doesnt sound great in my oppinion!

    Can you get Spanish subtitles on UK TV?

    Hi I have my Colombian in-laws over who dont speak English too well! My question is this: Can you get Spanish subtitles on Freeview tv channels? I set my TV (Samsung 6530) to Spanish and subtitles to 'preferred' but this just shows English subtitles.
