  1. I have a SONY and a Panasonic, I'd choose a Panasonic and make it one of the 4K models.
  2. After 17 days, mine finally arrived yesterday, what a disappointment. I still really enjoyed the movie but the picture quality was awful. I've vented on the Roadshow Facebook page.
  3. Odd? Not really, didn't Panasonic discover a few errors in what everyone else was doing? Reviews on the Panasonic OLED TVs, seem to indicate that they have a better understanding of the format, Are they not heavily involved in the "Standards" for 4K? I would choose a Panasonic 400 4K Player (if they bring it Oz) over an Oppo but I'm something of a Panasonic tragic, still clinging to my 50ST50 Plasma. Somehow, I'll find a way to acquire a Panasonic OLED, eventually, if I don't run out of time on this stage.
  4. I can't find a trailer but now available for Pre-Order. https://shop.abc.net.au/products/the-dish-bluray
  5. Received notification this morning, that it has shipped, at last!
  6. Bugger, my 3D copy of Rogue One hasn't been despatched by Amazon UK yet. Oh well, hopefully it's worth the wait.
  7. The Rio Olympics were 4K, some of the USPGA Golf broadcasts are also 4k. SKY UK has a 4K Channel. The Commonwealth Games will be 4K and the 2020 Oympics, will be 8K.
  8. Surely the easiest way to assess FTA SD, is to record a few minutes of something, the above mentioned serial, or the Ellen Show in SD and HD and copy both to a Thumbdrive. I think all TVs have a USB port or two? You get to see exactly the same thing on each TV, which is better than comparing Live. IMO. If they won't produce the remote control, go elsewhere.
  9. The Foxtel EPG reflects the changes as outlined. I guess we'll know tomorrow morning. I'll take a peek at Sunrise on 207 in spite of my loathing for "Kochie" to see if it's showing.
  10. Not here on the Gold Coast. If you want 7HD with 7 programs, you need Foxtel which uses 7 Brisbane and therefore shows 7 programs on 7HD. 7HD Gold Coast is still showing 7Bogan programs. None of the programs on 7HD in the next two weeks (according to the Foxtel EPG) are HD, it shows only the widescreen icon and CC where applicable.
  11. What stores are deleting their Blu-Ray section?
  12. I'm only a struggling pensioner but there's nothing on this earth, that would have me considering Hisense or TCL or Soniq etc.. I'd rather live on bread and dripping for a year so that I could select from SONY/Panasonic/Samsung or even LG, hopefully all of whom will have OLED in the marketplace when my current Panasonic Plasma falls over.
  13. That was my question too. SONY don't have any OLED TVs in the marketplace.
  14. Well the software now has a standard that it can follow, so hopefully it's being written already. http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/bt2100-201607104318.htm

  16. Switch to MPEG-2 was nearly a week ago, their Facebook page was inundated by people who barely knew how to turn their TVs on, let alone tune them, or check to see whether MPEG-4 could be enabled in the search., besides their TV is only 10 years old, it should be able to do EVERYTHING! They didn't like being told that their TVs were 8 years out of date.
  17. Maybe to some. I couldn't care less what it looks like, I can't see it anyway, I view in a dark room, my bedroom, with no lights at all. All I see is the screen.
  18. Your best starting point is the YPAO. Simply plug in the microphone that came with the 1050 and run the setup. Set your speakers to SMALL before running the test. Place the microphone, (preferably on a tripod) at your usual seating position and press START. Don't sit anywhere between the speakers and the microphone, for obvious reasons.
  19. Depending on the size/weight of the speaker, how about one of these? http://centerstagebracket.com.au/1205.html
  20. Because you said it was downscaled then upscaled again. It was bloody awful. "In particular all the CBS and ABC USA programming is in SD downscaled from HD and then upscaled again by Foxtel."
  21. They don't seem to be saying much. June is still the rumour. They aren't responding to questions on Facebook for example.
  22. That would explain the GT3 Racing from St. Petersberg on CBS over the weekend, I think it was on 203, very different to all the other Sports channels.
  23. There is, as pointed out a couple of posts before, the January 29th 2016 update fixes the MPEG-4 problem. Follow the link provided and choose your model of 7160. (Either 32027 or 33021) and download the applicable firmware.
  24. Not so paranoid that they have committed to simulcasting ABC 1 in HD, commencing in June.
  25. The LG E6 has HDR AND 3D.
