usb tv tuner for android tv that works in australia
silencerbob replied to Salv8 (sam)'s topic in Home Theater Equipment
If they have a smart TV already, then tv watching/ timeshifting/ recording would already be supported, just put a USB thumb drive for storage. I'm guessing this is not the case? Unfortunately google has recently removed USB tv tuner support for their android tv products ( I have an Nvidia shield tv ) , so it will be difficult to enable it. I have a HDHomerun on my network with a Synology NAS running tvheadend. It's a bit to config but works like a dream. In the end tho, ease of setup and use, I'd recommend a smart tv and a thumb drive. -
The upcoming Arc GPUs include AV1 hardware encoding and encoding. This functionality will be included on Intel CPUs from 14th Gen, Meteor Lake, onwards. You won't need even -F SKU CPU for building a NAS with full AV1 encoding/transcoding. Thinking these CPUs may also be useful as a separate streaming PC. So....No GPU will be required for an AV1 capable streaming PC or transcoding NAS. Neat! https://www.tomshardware.com/news/meteor-lake-plays-videos-without-gpu

Resizable bar is for gaming and encoding? Or just gaming... Would be something to find out when more testing is done.

Hi all! I'm interested to know if I could use an old motherboard I have lying around ( MSI z87 gd65 Gaming with i7 4770k and DDR3 ram) with a new Intel A380 GPU. The idea is to use it as a NAS with the capability of an OBS streaming server to Twitch / YouTube (I have a separate gaming PC) using NDI. I hear the Intel A380 has a great AV1 encoder. The old Mobo has a PCIE 3.0 x16 slot and the GPU uses a PCIE 4.0 x8 whatchcallit. Will there be a conversion and any loss in bandwidth? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone send me a link where I can buy a 4k 144hz gsync monitor

Hi all! Im putting together a new build (not the current one in my Sig below). The motherboard is the z270 mis mpower titanium which has a raised shield over the I/O. I have a 280mm rad (kraken x62) and 2x 120mm rads on the end of gpus. Let me start by saying I don't need a critique. I'd like to know what case would fit these rads, considering clearance for the rads. I was thinking the nzxt s340 elite, enthoo evolv or in win 909. Thanks!

Synology NAS hdd swap for larger drive - how?
silencerbob replied to silencerbob's topic in Servers, NAS, and Home Lab
Aha! Just found the answer to my question. You can add a drive as a separate VOLUME. This allows you use it as a scratch drive to move files over with http://www.patnotebook.com/adding-a-new-disk-as-a-new-volume-in-synology/ -
Hi all! I have a Synology 215j 2-bay NAS with a 4tb drive inside. It works fine and I want to move it to another PC and put a new 8tb drive inside the NAS instead. I want to keep the data from the 4tb drive and move it to the 8tb drive. Only problem is the 4tb drive is set as a Synology hybrid raid (shr) so I can't simply copy it. Any solutions anyone can think of?

Good suggestion.. I'll look into it, though I think that's a Chromecast feature which this TV doesn't and cannot have..lol -
