It's the traitors have to take all the risks and put the most thought into it, any that win have earned it

I see Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard) from  Coronation Street is joining the  cast of Fair City

I wonder if  Big Jim McDonald (Charlie Lawson)  will  join her  down in Dublin , or maybe he would  spontaneously combust if he  crossed the border

Binged that His and Her over the past few days. Decent enough with a bit of a twist to it.

Set myself up with a soundbar and surround sound system for Christmas and it really makes a difference and sounds great for Stranger Things , wish I bought one sooner.

not to take away from the TV shows topic, but what kind of sound bar / surround sound setup did you go for given your wiring prowess. All bluetooth? 
It's probably a bit on the basic side considering you can spend beyond €2k on some systems but after a bit of research this one got very good reviews most places I looked

As regards connections, the bar is connected via eARC HDMI to the TV and the sub and rear speakers do need a mains supply power source but they are connected via Bluetooth to the main soundbar.
I'm very happy with it while knowing I'm sure there are far better sounding systems but also with a far bigger price tag.



Out of curiosity, any issue with the sound syncing to what's actually being said on the TV. My oul fella has a sound bar and I always like the Bluetooth connection leaves a slight lag that annoys the life outta me
No lag at all, but I've the soundbar connected with a HDMI cable to the eARC port so I presume that's why . The Bluetooth part is only for the rear and sub woofer speakers.
Check and see does the soundbar have the hdmi or optical connections and that should sort it.
Hi LL, looking at this yoke myself. Used to have an older 5.2.1 Sony set up but it was a bit of a nightmare (I'm not that technical tbh!!). Had to connect to the output of the sky box rather than the tv itself. so when using a Firestick, it didnt work. Just became a pain. So am I right in saying that this just Plugs into the tv? Is it the output hdmi slot on the tv?
Just want to be sure before I order.
Sorry only seeing this now. Yeah soundbar is just HDMI to TV eARC port. The subwoofer and rear speakers need a power supply and the two rear speakers are connected via a speaker wire. The soundbar connects wirelessly to the sub and rear speakers though.
Watched the final episode of Stranger Things last night in Dolby Atmos format from Netflix and it was brilliant the sound effects.
Nordie Tayto is shite

My pleasure, super show. I'll recommend another 'Animal Kingdom' 2016 with Ellen Barkin
If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?
