New products from Hims?

2015-05-21 Thread Alexandra Grünauer
Hi,
I just read the Main Menu Newsletter for the next Main Menu show and they 
announce great new products from Hims, of which at a cursory glance I couldn't 
find anything on their site. Since I'm going to go to the SightCity tomorrow, 
Europes biggest exhibition for products for the blind and visually impaired, I 
was wondering, if anyone could enlighten me on what these great new products 
are so that I can ask about them.

Thanks in advance
Alexandra

 Hi!
 
 Posted the below article on FetchTV a couple of weeks ago to another list,
 thought people here may be interested in the read.
 
 snip
 Just ordered this through Internode so taking the time to read up on the
 FetchTV service, there's plenty to read.
 
 Firstly, those who may be interested in the FetchTV service will be pleased
 to know that the Smart Apps - can't specifically comment on the iPhone
 version smile - seem to be particularly accessible.
 
 Second, a little sighted assistance seems to be required to go through the
 initial setup procedure which is screen based but once that's out of the way
 then you should be good to go.
 
 The User guide - whilst containing many helpful tips - is going to need some
 translation as it contains many diagrams so I'll undertake that project myself
 unless anyone else has done it smile.
 
 The FetchTV box can record up to 3 Free-to-Air shows at any one time or you
 can watch one whilst recording two others etc.
 
 You're able to access subscription channels through the FetchTv service
 though this really wasn't a requirement for me, they're there if I want them.
 
 You can watch Netflixh through your FetchTV but as yet I don't know just
 how accessible this would be and in any case, I have other accessible ways
 of watching Netflix already so its not a major concern.
 
 And finally, you can use your FetchTV box as a media server thus you can
 share all that you've recorded with your Windows PC, Mac or other devices
 such as your Blu-Ray player etc.
 
 I should have the FetchTV unit some time next week and hope to be able to
 tell you more about it then but I guess I should answer the question, why
 did I bother buying a FetchTV box?
 
 I had word that the Windows Media Center App is to be discontinued from
 Windows 10, no doubt Microsoft have there reasons.
 
 Its a pity as Windows Media Center is a perfectly accessible way to watch
 your favourite TV shows, look up items in the TV guide, Record your
 favourite shows and so on.

Hi!
It makes me very frustrated to have albums  split into more than one part.
For example i have thriller here with Michael Jacson and that album is splitted 
so that all songs exept one is in the same folder.
The only song thats not is the one he sings with paul mcartney.
The girl is mine i think its called.
I also have a greatest hits with marvin gaye.
That album is split in  to a bunch depending on who he sings together with.
It makes me go mad and frustrated.
What do i do?

Re: Video Recording From Your PC, What's Next?

2015-05-21 Thread Dane Trethowan
VLC will capture from a camera yes, I've not tried VLC with a TV Tuner 
Card to record Live TV, I've tried to do this sort of thing with Total 
Recorder but it won't work with my particular TV Tuner card for whatever 
reason and the reason is probably right in front of me, that being that 
there's no standard for TV Tuner cards.


Having said all that, I do have a device that works on a network so - in 
theory - if the computer or Smart Phone can connect to a network then - 
the theory goes - that it should be able to capture the video if the 
computer or smart phone has the right tools to do so.
I know that this device works with Smart Phones - I used it when I had 
an iPhone - so must try that with Total Recorder.

it won’t be available for Windows 10.

So what does one do for video recording on a Windows computer.

There’s only one option I know of and that’s XBMC however the last time I tired 
this with Windows 7 I couldn’t access it in any way shape or form, there might 
be ways to set it up so it can be controlled or accessed from the XBMC 
Controller Smart Phone Apps and that’s something I’m investigating.

So - assuming all is lost for Windows - what now?

It looks as though its time to place some faith in the FetchTV Set Top Box.

The Smart Phone Apps are very accessible to the point where you can schedule 
programmes to be recorded from the TV guide.

So what’s all this got to do with the Windows PC? The recordings you make can 
be accessed by our computer if you want to do things that way, you can play 
them with Windows Media Player, VLC or whatever.

Don't Throw The Old Stereo Away Just Yet..

2015-05-21 Thread Dane Trethowan
I've been playing with stereo and Hi-Fi equipment for 25 years, I 
remember my first Hi-Fi system I bought on a budget back in 1991 from 
Douglass Hi-Fi as it was back then, the system consisted of a CD Player, 
Tuner, Cassette Deck and Amplifier.


All those components were utterly dreadful - they were cheap - though I 
think the memory of this first setup lingers for several reasons, the 
system was the beginning of the Hi-Fi hobby for me, I was shown that 
everyone's tastes were different, because I had a system mine was not 
the best nor the worst but there was a whole world to explore, other 
systems inspired me to strive for better quality audio and learn how to 
improve sound quality where I could but most of all the system I had 
could be customised and expanded to my specific tastes.


If the system I had then was in my lounge room now it would still be 
useable, no I couldn't use any of the modern day digital equipment with 
the system but I could at least easily stream media from my computer, 
smart phone or tablet to the system and do it cheaply too, this is where 
the D-Link DCH-M225 comes in.


The D-Link DCH-M225 is a small cube aboutthe the size of an AC plugpack 
which - like an AC plugpack - plugs directly into a power outlet.


The unit looks totally unremarkable and almost too bland for a $50 
investment, just a box with one single button, an output socket and a 
LED  on it, you press the button on the unit to enter WPS mode to allow 
the D-Link DCH-M225 to connect to your WPS router, more on this in a few 
moments.


The D-Link DCH-M225 is the bridge if you like between your stereo system 
and your computer etc, you can stream your audio to it using either 
AirPlay or DLNA, the D-Link DCH-M225 can also act as a Wi-Fi extender.


The D-Link DCH-M225 needs to connect to a home network and can be 
connected to the Network in 2 different ways, using WPS or manually by 
joining the default Wi-Fi network of the D-Link DCH-M225 and configuring 
it to recognise your Home Network, WPS is the easiest way to connect, 
just press the WPS button on the D-Link DCH-M225, enable WPS on your 
router and wait for a couple of minutes whilst the D-Link DCH-M225 and 
your router initiate a connection, that's it!


The D-Link DCH-M225 has a line-out 3.5MM minijack socket for connection 
to your stereo system but doesn't come with any connecting cables so 
you'll have to purchase what you need in that area for yourself.


The user can log into the web Interface of the D-Link DCH-M225 for 
futher configuration, you'll need to change the default password of the 
system for example.  The Interface is the standard HTML type but not too 
easy to get around so experience with your specific Screen Reader 
certainly does help here.


Quality of audio out of this little box is not stunning but the unit 
only costs $50 after all and audio quality here will satisfy most 
people, you'll notice the quality factor more if you enjoy listening to 
music but if you just have your music on in the background - and have a 
cheap system anyway and are satisfied with what you have - then perhaps 
I'm being picky.  I have my D-Link DCH-M225 connected to an old stereo 
system here in the Den for the specific purpose of receiving an audio 
stream from my Foxtel box and I'm more than happy what the results I hear.


For those who have more expensive systems and want better audio quality 
then yes, you have other options from the likes of Apple, Arcam etc.

Yep, morethan likely the software that came with that card may have

with Windows Media Center, you could probably tell me more about that
one, I've seen devices that take to Windows Media Center like a duck to

I had an old Leadtek card 7 years ago I think it was and the software that

more flexible than the Leadtek Siftware ever was.

So I await the arrival of the FetchTV box with quite a bit of excitement.

nch do a couple of nice looking bits of software, golden videos, and debut 
video capture. at first glance, they seem to be reasonably accessible, but 
unfortunately, the install disk that came with my video input box isn't, so 
haven't been able to really test these bits of software properly yet, as 
can't get the drivers for my video box installed.

At one time I had a Slingbox and recording software from Applian.com that 
allowed me to schedule and record my DirecTV signal.

Do not know if things have changed but most likely they have.

I know that that's not what you're talking about, but we have an internet 
offer called Save-TV which for a mothly fee lets you record nearly any 
program available and stores the movies/shows for a month during which time 
you can download them in various formats.

Hi!

I was very sad to learn that Microsoft have decided not to continue the
development of Windows Media Centre which came as a standard part of
Windows 7 Home Premium and above and was available as an optional
extra for Windows 8.x, it won’t be available for Windows 10.

So what does one do for video recording on a Windows computer.

There’s only one option I know of and that’s XBMC however the last time I
tired this with Windows 7 I couldn’t access it in any way shape or form,
there might be ways to set it up so it can be controlled or accessed from 
the

Yep the good old days smile, I had one of those myself, the company 
that made those were taken over by Logitech and - for whatever reason - 
they were discontinued which - to be honest - probably isn't a bad 
thing, if that unit was selling now then it would lack a few features 
that your average viewer might require such as HDMI connectivity, think 
some of the boxes available in Asia had HDMI connectivity but it wasn't 
universally available.

Re: New products from Hims?

2015-05-21 Thread Clifford Blackwell

There's a new model of the Blazee
- Original Message (sp?) and a new braille display called the Beetle 
that will connect to several devices at the same time.  There may be others 
of which I'm unaware.  However, HIMS is somewhat out of favor with me for 
their habit of dropping support for legacy devices to the point of not 
supporting elements that helped form the basis for buying them in the first 
place.


They claim economics and out dated hardware, but then they don't replace the 
old things in their product line.


So if you buy something from them, be prepared for planned 
obsolessence.-

Subject: FetchTV

Hi!

Posted the below article on FetchTV a couple of weeks ago to another list,
thought people here may be interested in the read.

snip
Just ordered this through Internode so taking the time to read up on the
FetchTV service, there's plenty to read.

Firstly, those who may be interested in the FetchTV service will be 
pleased

to know that the Smart Apps - can't specifically comment on the iPhone
version smile - seem to be particularly accessible.

Second, a little sighted assistance seems to be required to go through the
initial setup procedure which is screen based but once that's out of the 
way

then you should be good to go.

The User guide - whilst containing many helpful tips - is going to need 
some
translation as it contains many diagrams so I'll undertake that project 
myself

unless anyone else has done it smile.

The FetchTV box can record up to 3 Free-to-Air shows at any one time or 
you

can watch one whilst recording two others etc.

You're able to access subscription channels through the FetchTv service
though this really wasn't a requirement for me, they're there if I want 
them.


You can watch Netflixh through your FetchTV but as yet I don't know just
how accessible this would be and in any case, I have other accessible ways
of watching Netflix already so its not a major concern.

And finally, you can use your FetchTV box as a media server thus you can
share all that you've recorded with your Windows PC, Mac or other devices
such as your Blu-Ray player etc.

I should have the FetchTV unit some time next week and hope to be able to
tell you more about it then but I guess I should answer the question, why
did I bother buying a FetchTV box?

I had word that the Windows Media Center App is to be discontinued from
Windows 10, no doubt Microsoft have there reasons.

Its a pity as Windows Media Center is a perfectly accessible way to watch
your favourite TV shows, look up items in the TV guide, Record your
favourite shows and so on.

improving headphone sound with a portable amp?

2015-05-21 Thread Mary Otten
Hi all,

Several years ago, I purchased a pair of AKG Q701 headphones for use
with a home stereo. These are, in my opinion, outstanding phones,
especially considering the price is around $200 or a bit more on
Amazon.They are wonderfully comfortable to wear for extended periods of
time, more so than any other phones I've seen, bar none.  Recent
reviews indicate some dissatisfaction, since these are now apparently
being made in China, rather than Austria, the home country of AKG. But
that's not the point of this message.

I have tried my Q701 with the headphone output of my iPhone and find
the output of the phone isn't sufficient to drive the Qs well. So I
looked into the possibility of a portable headphone amp, such as the
fiio e12, which has pretty decent reviews on Amazon. It is not clear to
me, however, how you get the signal from the lightning port on the
phone to the little amp, as it doesn't seem to come with a cable. You
can purchase a separate LOD from fiio, but it has the old style 30-pin
connector. You could then purchase an official Apple lightning adapter
at some ridiculously inflated price, of course, and then I suppose the
set up would work, although I don't think this amp has a DAC, and I'm
not sure if you'd need one of those anyway. So, the question. What are
folks doing who have head phones which are not driven adequately by the
crummy output stages found in portable devices like phones etc?

RE: improving headphone sound with a portable amp?

2015-05-21 Thread André van Deventer
I use a little headphone amplifier  made by a company called Headroom.  It
takes 4 AAA batteries.

What I like about it is that it has a high and low impedence switch so it
caters for all kinds of headphones.

You get a short cable with it  which allows you to connect your mp3 device
or whatever to  the 3.5 mm input of the amplifier. It also has a usb socket
so you can use it as a sound card also.

I think it was called the Egghead or something like that.
