    I know there is a panasonic fix for the fan noise on the 55VT65 but not the 50VT65. I've arranged a panansonic engineer to come and look at mine next week.

    panasonic 50vt65

    I have the VT65 and the judder on panning shots on Sky HD (mainly people on white backgrounds) is an issue for me - it's very noticeable. No issue with BR though. The other gripe I have with it is the well documented fan noise. I've arranged for mine to be investigated under warranty as it's...

    Pioneer VSX-LX55 - sounds a bit naff

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone else had experience setting this amp up? I installed it at the weekend and thought it sounded great compared to my old amp.

    Streaming Blu Ray around the house

    Is it possible to stream Blu Ray content stored on my iMac or NAS to media devices around the house? I am not sure if any current devices have this feature without losing picture/sound quality.

    Do I need HDMI 1.4 cables for all 3D equipment?
