Not connected to a TV but a 4K monitor. I send my audio to a SONY STR-DN860 via HDMI and the picture to my 4K Monitor using Display Port. The DP connection is using 4:4:4 so I get a very good picture. I find HDMI sub standard, colour depth for DP is 10 bpc and HDMI 8 bpc. My AVR does not have DP connections. This works well for me but has some drawbacks. With HDMI and DP video from my GPU (AMD RX480) Windows thinks I have two screens (which is fine), I don't need a secon...

Using ONVIF camera to Xeoma Video Surveillance app to Raspberry PI *

Image
Connecting an ONVIF camera to Xeoma Video Surveillance app using a Raspberry PI 4.  This is my first project using the Raspberry PI 4.  Check out other projects here After suffering a lot of disconnections with the ONVIF camera I have now connected the camera using a LAN cable. I suspect outside the house the WiFi signal is not that strong. The connection is now 100% and had no dropouts. I have found an app to help with the ONVIF setup " ONVIF Device Manager " but it does not seem to work as it should. Tried this app using Windows 10 Tried many menu items which mostly fail....This one "Time settings" fails.

Netgear AX1800 RAX20 review from a verified purchaser on Amazon *

Image
I have been using this router for a few months now. The Netgear RAX20 is connected to a Virgin Media HUB3 (in Modem Mode), all working fine.  The WiFi signal in the worst location went from 3mb/s to 35mb/s well pleased with that. The hub3 was very problematic for me (also the superhub2). Using the NIGHTHAWK app on the phone to setup the router was up and running in about 20 minutes at most. Have about 20 devices connected without any problems. I will be providing a review on the web so google for it. I will post updates if any issues occur.  So far so good. Can confirm that a Galaxy s20 ultra can connect using WiFi6 to the Netgear RAX20  Netflix UHD 4K works fine without any stutter. check out my web sites. https://sites.google.com/site/windows10okok/ https://sites.google.com/view/fxv300tech/home https://sites.google.com/view/fxv300/

Virgin Media HUB3 in modem mode connected to a Netgear AX1800 RAX20 *

Virgin Media HUB3 in modem mode  connected to a  Netgear AX1800 RAX20. We have a look and some of the functions of the Netgear RAX20 (AX1800). Setup using Nighthawk and also using a browser. The Netgear RAX20 is a WiFi 6 router with many capabilities. For me the HUB3 was not a viable option as it suffered with latency. Latency problems make "Gaming" a difficult task. The HUB3 latency problem is well document. HUB4 from Virgin Media is available in some regions, hopefully this works a bit better. check out my web sites. https://sites.google.com/site/windows10okok/ https://sites.google.com/view/fxv300tech/home https://sites.google.com/view/fxv300/ Check out WIndows 10 sound system https://youtu.be/-wl4qUpx0fA Fix for windows Netflix App bug  https://youtu.be/E9bsC6-EL4E

Replacing laser printer toner cartridge *

Replacing your printer toner cartridge is usually fairly easy. These instructions are for a SAMSUNG printer but the process is the same for many printers. Toner cartridges  that are used in laser printers are filled with black powder (toner). If you  remove the  cartridge  and  shake  it for a few seconds before placing it back in the  printer you may get some extra pages when the toner cartridge is flagged up for replacement .
