This device is practical as the TV (2014 Toshiba 40L2470UC) is sitting on it. Space is limited in the bedroom, and a sound bar doesn't seem the best fit. Unfortunately, it is aging (bought in 2015) and has developed an annoying humming noise that gets worse after a while. Now we have to turn it off for the night. Unplugging the optical cable doesn't change a thing. Sound bases seem less popular these days, and i won't buy another ZVOX. I noticed some on Amazon but with odd brands...

I am investigating Digital Toslink Optical Audio Splitter products to understand if they work for my application. Do they introduce latency?

I'm not sure why this isn't sold in Canada. I purchased one at Walmart in the USA for $19.88. Its a 4K Google TV streaming box. I was wondering if anyone else has it? It works fine in Canada so I'm not sure why it isn't sold here. Well worth the price. I had really low expectations for it considering it was so cheap, but I couldn't resist buying it. It works really well too, not glitchy or slow either like some other devices out there for much more. Very smooth. The Live Tv tab does not...

Hello everyone. I'm hoping someone might be able to help me troubleshoot an issue I've been having. 1. I have a Sony Android SmartTV (about 5 years old) and I have home wi-fi through TELUS. 2.

Had an odd thing happen today. I went to make changes to a Harmony IR remote and the settings were completely corrupted. The device table was filled with devices that I did not recognize or had never used with this remote. All the devices and activities that I had configured were gone. Now I need to reconfigure the remote from scratch. That's not a big issue but, provided it can be done successfully, is an inconvenience ..read more

Hello everyone, I will be upgrading my sound system in my living room soon. I currently have the focal chora 806 as front speakers (I love them) and using the bluesound powenode edge as my amplifier/steamer. I am planning on getting an AV receiver instead of the powernode and also a focal chora center channel (is I can find one :laugh: ). I have 3 questions: 1. Which subwoofer would you recommend under $1000 CAD? 2. Which rear speakers would you recommend under $1000 CAD? The rear speakers... Home theater system for living room ..read more

Hello everyone, Does anywhere have any experience in using the power node in combination with the power node edge for home theater surround system? Is it any good? Or is it too laggy? I currently have the powenode edge with front speakers but I want to upgrade my system with rear speakers and a sub and was wondering if I should replace the power node edge with a home theater receiver or just add the powenode and use their surround capabilities? Thanks in advance ..read more

If you're guessing that I visited a Best Buy store recently, you are absolutely right. I am looking into getting a new home theatre type set up, so the salesman tried pushing a fancy power bar on me, specifically the Monster brand. After listening to his spiel about how it's good for your TV and blah blah blah, I asked him if the TV's in the store were hooked up to one so I could see the benefits of this device. He said there weren't any hooked up to one. I asked him why. If they are so... Power Bar (UPS, Surge, Etc) Info and Discussion ..read more
