Belgium 2008 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

I'm using Xbox1 systems with XBMC and modified bios for 720P, all streaming over ethernet from a 4TB NAS.

For the home cinema I'm using a PS3 for Blu-Ray, that one also is streaming from the NAS, and connected to a nice Projector and Plasma :p

But Sat TV has always been an issue to get it streamed, so I'm using 2 decoders, both connected to Visiosat G4 dish and a CanalSat card shared over SmartWI. 08.5 RRS TDV6 HSE Java Black/Alpaga - Cold Climate Pack - Privacy Glass - Bluetooth - Sunroof - 20" wheels - Rubber Floor mats.

Just connected the lads PS3 to my home cinema system tonight, HDMI to the projector and optical cable to the amp for audio and thats where I seem to have a problem. The audio is fine when playing games but when playing movies (Blu-Ray version of Mission Impossible) the audio stutters every few minutes, cant get the lad off the film just now to try another disk but will later. How does yours perform Phantom?
Picture quality is a step up from my Sony DVD player but not mind blowing, guess I'll have to get a better projector as this one is 720p Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

Guys how old are the microwave ovens that you are using. It could be that the door seals are starting to give up and you are leaking microwaves which is not good for you or your loved ones if you stand near to the oven. Tandy and RS Components both sell very cheap and effective mircowave leakage detectors. I have to carry one by company edict for crew safety as we not only have 3 huge radar sets but also 3 microwave ovens in the catering department and I have to check them monthly for leakage round the seals. I've even had near brand new ovens onboard that failed the leakage test, the best ones to buy are Russian made - their permitted level of leakage is 1/10th of that permitted by everybody else. Only problems with them are that they are extremely difficult to buy and they are HUGE. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

The stuttering over HDMI is known, you can solve it sometimes by running the setup wizard on the PS3, otherwise connect the PS3 with an optical cable like I did, straight into my amplifier.

I would say it's mind blowing, this is also the reason why I didn't buy that many blu-ray discs.

As for the projector, I'm using a Hitachi PJ-TX300, it's also a 720P but compatible with 1080P, I wouldn't invest today in full-hd equippement, wait another year, prices are dropping. 08.5 RRS TDV6 HSE Java Black/Alpaga - Cold Climate Pack - Privacy Glass - Bluetooth - Sunroof - 20" wheels - Rubber Floor mats.

Tim, the old microwave we used in the hotel was 6kW and worked on the same frequencys as mobile phones do Shocked
When I worked with radars, a long time ago, I had a lead lined apron to wear incase I got my family jewels toasted Neutral

Phantom, I am using an optical cable, but I will try running the setup again, the HDMI is only for my video projector. My projector is an InFocus IN76 and is compatable with 1080i, certainly the PS3 sees it as a 1080i device. Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

Then it should work, just tell the PS3 that the sound is going through optical and not trough the HDMI.

Let the PS3 detect the capabilities of your amplifier by itself, same goes for the projector. 08.5 RRS TDV6 HSE Java Black/Alpaga - Cold Climate Pack - Privacy Glass - Bluetooth - Sunroof - 20" wheels - Rubber Floor mats.

I have found re the microwave that it is down to mains noise - the MW generaters the noise that is sent down the ring main the tv being the appliance that shows the noise through image noise.

quite right - a lot of electrical interference is caused by 'dirty' electrical supplys - we always spec Isotek Mains Filter into our systems when the customer can be convinced and it does make significant improvements.
