    Been following a few threads on other sites....doomed to fail IMO...theres no way they'll get the few million customers they need to survive!


    Funny reading their initial roll out will have 'limited stock'....they obviously don't expect a rush themselves!!

    Thought I might as well make my 100th post a useful one :80:


    You may or may not know that Spotify now limit their 'Spotify Open' to 20 hours / month free listening....I have 10 invitations for 'Spotify Free' which has no limit on the number of hours usage!


    If you'd like an invite...drop me a PM with an eMail address *not* already registered with Spotify and I'll get the invite to you asap!

    As glenviewjf says, you can put the lines in the order you want them to be selected but I find the fastest one is chosen regardless of order?!

    Looking for recommendations around the £100 mark!


    My brother fancies getting rid of Sly and is way more into the football than me so I was going to set up a box for him!


    TIA for any suggestions!

    Code
    The tower is my 20 drive Antec 1200 with 40TB data lol

    Woaw.....40TB!!!???


    Well...its 40TB capacity! I'm only using 30TB at the minute....26TB on movies and 4TB for HDTV!


    I rip BD ISO's at full resolution so they take up more space than MKV's but I'm guaranteed the best quality once I get a projector!


    Ah cheers mate...most of my spare cash gets sunk into it all......I'd sooner waste it on that than a car that gets me from A to B lol


    You can put yourself a budget HTPC together for a couple of hundred quid...well worth the effort and you'll wonder how you managed before :80:

    I love setup pic threads so thought I might as well get my own up!


    I'm messy...once its working I leave it lol....one day soon I'll *tidy*....light is terrible tonight and its a camera phone...damn me for selling my good SLR recently!



    I have a 1M Triax dish with Black Ultra LNB and Technomate motor -






    I also have a standard 60cm Sly mesh dish pointed at 28E.....




    My home cinema setup is a 50 inch Pioneer Plasma with Kef 5.1 surround setup (Q7 fronts, Q5 rears, Q9c centre and modified PSW2500 subwoofer)
    My Vu+ Duo is connected to both sats giving me a static A and motorised B...




    Amp is a Pioneer SC-LX83, other kit on show is my Shanling SACD player, dust gathering 360 and my vintage Thorens 150 record player! I'm sure LP's are dead to most of you guys but I recently got back into them and have ordered a new slate player and valve amp setup!




    My HTPC is a custom built OrigenAE unit which passes lossless HD to the amp. The tower is my 20 drive Antec 1200 with 40TB data lol




    Downstairs I have a mini HTPC feeding the living room TV and I'll retire the Duo down when the Ultimo comes out....until then its freesat via Sly!


    No TV in the bedroom so if I'm desperate I'll stream to the iPad via Dreambox Live which isn't bad...sooner it does HD the better!


    I've plenty of other bits and pieces but I'm sure that's boring enough for now :32_002:
