Thanks for the quick reply Professorhat. I had indeed failed to download the Media Server program. I'll try that tonight and hopefully it does the trick.

I've just changed my NAS drive to the Synology DS212j. It works really well and my laptop, Nexus 7 and Xperia Z can all see and access the drive. Unfortunately, my Sony HX853 TV won't see the NAS on the network. I've got the NAS connected to my network by Powerline and the TV is also connected...

I'm running a 200MBps powerline system at home which uses both TP Link and Netgear components. They do talk to each other without any issues, however, I found when setting it up that you couldn't just press the link buttons on both and let it sort itself out. I had to use the software which came...

Both, Thanks for the quick replies. Sets my mind at rest. Will have a look at the cable you've recommended. Cheers.

Hi all, I'm currently in a gradual process of upgrading my Home Cinema system and the next step is the speaker cable. Currently it's just running some free cable, but I'm planning on changing it to some at around the £5/m level. At the moment, all the cable lengths to each speaker are the same...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Wasn't sure about the Beyerdynamic DTX101iE's as I don't want or need a microphone as I feel adding this feature in will take away from the sound quality. Will also have a look at the awards issue out at the end of the week before I make any decisions.

Cheers for the response. I've had a look around and can't find them for under £80. Will keep looking. Meanwhile, I've found various Shure models at good prices: SE102's for £55, SE115's for £67 and SE215's for £80. How would these compare to the Westone's? Which should I go for? Any help from...

Currently I've got a pair of Sennheiser CX300 - II and enjoy the sound they produce. However, I feel like upgrading them and am trying to decide what to replace them with. I've got a maximum budget of £80 and want in ears as I use them when I'm out and like the noise isolation they give...

You can buy tracks from Amazon and their download software will automatically add them into iTunes as they are downloaded. I've used this quite a few times now and had no issues with it, it all happens in the background.

I had the same dilema a couple of months ago. After auditioning a few different docks, including the Bose Sounddock 2, I went for the Zeppelin Mini. Haven't regretted this decision for a moment. If you want a radio, get the Tune In internet radio app for your touch and you'll have a world of...

Thanks for the replies. It's the answer I was hoping for. Time now for some searching for the best deal.

I'm thinking of getting the above as part of a budget system to replace my current HCIAB (a Sony DAV DZ630). I find Sony equipment very simple to use so when I saw the review of this amp, I felt it would be a good centre to my budget system. I've got one question about it though, in the review...

I've had nothing but problems when I've tried to update the OS on my touch. iTunes always times out the connection so that I have to start again. Never actually managed to get it to work. Apple claimed it was my network connection that was at fault even though this is the only thing I've ever...

Am probably going to go for the B& W Mini as, other than sounding great, the OH likes the look of it most as well..... I've now got a radio app on my iPod, so the radio part isn't needed so much mow.
